Every day life in world war 2?
Everyday life for the people stuck at home during World War II was full of rationing food, working, and organizing supply drives for the soldiers. Life for the soldiers overseas mainly involved waiting for something to happen. When the fighting did occur, it was fast and frightening.
Was Dunkirk a success or failure?
Who thought Dunkirk was a success?People who was hostile to Hitler thought that Dunkirk was a success. Hitler's armies needed to destroy the British Expeditionary Forces in France, and failed to do so. Britain thought it was a success as the BEF managed to evacuate most of the people (although very little of their equipment) from France to England.Hitler thought it was a disaster.
Why were the tunnels important in World War 2?
You need tunnels in WWII so that the soldiers who were waiting for countries to attack them would have somewhere safe to wait and live for the many months they had to. The tunnels in New Zealand are very secure, on top of the tunnels there is piles of dirt so if grenades went off it would not do any damage to them.
Why is the battle of Dunkirk a turning point in world war two?
The British & Alied forces returned to UK in June 1940 were obviously saved from the German clutches. More than 300 000 were repatriated. It may well, in part, have been due to the effect of British Armour in the Arras region in the previous days that had an effect on the invincablity of the Panzer attack. The German High Command were, at that time, still unsure of their effect in the ongoing war against the French in particular. That France collapsed so quickly was, at that time, unknown.
Did battle of concord happen after battle of Lexington?
Yes. The Battle of Lexington and Concord are often referred to as a single battle due to the proximity of their locations and the fact that they happened consecutively on the same day. The Battle of Lexington, which occurred prior to hostilities at Concord, was much more of a minor skirmish than a true battle, in the traditional sense.Lexington was fought between members of the Lexington Militia and British soldiers. Despite the belief by many that Lexington "Minutemen" were present that day, Lexington actually had noMinutemen, as they could not afford them. Minuteman were members of a local militia who were usually the most fit and best trained members of a militia. Towns paid Minutemen to drill much more frequently than regular militia members and to be "ready" at a minutes notice, hence their name, to respond to trouble, usually Indian attacks.The Lexington Militia, having notice of the Regular's or "Redcoats", as they referred to the British soldiers, not "the British", (remember the colonists at this point considered themselves British citizens) pending arrival gathered at Buckman Tavern in the very early morning hours of April 19, 1775, adjacent to the Lexington Green, a common area at the center of the town. After several hours of waiting for the Regulars, word of their imminent arrival reached them and they mustered in formation on the Green. The Regulars approached the Green and with weapons at the ready, ordered the "rebels" to drop their weapons. History will probably never know which side fired the first shot, or shots, but soon thereafter eight militia members laid dead or dying, with others injured. The Regulars only suffered one minor injury there. After composing their troops and re-establishing order, the British force proceeded to the town of Concord.

Why was the battle at Lexington fought?
700 soldiers of the British Army had been ordered to Concord to take possession of a rebel arms depot. The rebels had been tipped off and were waiting for them. What I have found was the Battle of Lexington and Concord at first were forces from Britain and the Colonies facing each other without fighting. There is a POSSIBILITY that the famous "shot fired heard round the world" that began the battle and the war was actually a hunter in the nearby forest which triggered nervous soldiers into battle.
Where did the first battle in the American Revolution take place?
The first battle was fought at Lexington, where the so called 'shot heard around the world' was fired by an unknown gunman, beginning the first battle of the war. The British won this battle and marched on to Concord, where they were defeated and forced to retreat to Boston. On the way, they had to go back through Lexington, where the Revolvers were waiting to take revenge, causing another defeat for the British army.
How many british died during the battle of lexington?
None. The first shot fired in the Revolution was when the British column marched into Lexington, MA, early on the morning of 19 April. The minutemen of Lexington were waiting on the green. After an exchange of volleys, the minutemen dispersed and several were killed and wounded. No British soldiers were killed. Later, the British went on to Concord and a patrol was confronted by minutemen from Acton and Bedford. Shots were exchanged and the first British soldier was killed. The British pulled out of Concord and returned to Boston. All along the way the minutemen fired at them. Many other British and Americans died during this running battle. Your question probably asked for the total killed on this day. Casualties: The British Regiments suffered 19 officers and 250 soldiers killed and wounded. The American losses did not exceed 90 men.
