How many battles were there in World War 2?

Answer 1

World War Two was on an (almost) global scale, and there was fighting somewhere every day. There are naval battles (like the Battle of Leyte Gulf) and there were land battles like the D-Day invasion or the Battle of Arnhem. There were battles to take significant bridges and battles to take out significant airfields. There were battles for significant towns like the Battle of Anzio, and there was the final, last-gasp effort by the Germans to push the Americans out of France called the Battle of the Bulge. There was the Battle of Britain, where hopelessly outnumbered British Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft defended the country against the entire might of the German Luftwaffe and held them off long enough to get some war materials into production. There was the Battle for Singapore, the battle for Iwo-Jima with the famous flag photo. There was a battle for a number of critical Dutch bridges that almost caused the total destruction of Holland, as written about by COrnelius Ryan in his excellent book A Bridge too Far. There was the whole North Africa Campaign where Rommel was finally defeated by British general Montgomery after many, many battles in just about every town from Casablanca to Tabruk.

Answer 2

Every one it fought, with the exception of the Kasserine Pass in February, 1943, in Tunisia, Africa. That was the first clash between US ground troops and the Germans. This excludes also the early defeats following the Japanese sneak attack, which would include Pearl Harbor, the Philippines and Wake Island. Once the US went over to the offensive though, other than that single instance in Tunisia, in every other engagement sooner or later the US emerged victorious.
