What World War 2 battle had the most American deaths?
I think it was the Battle of the Bulge
No, Stalingrad is much more devastating, as is Kursk. It probably depends on whether you include civillians as well as military casualties. Certainly the Russian Front was much more deadly than the war in the west. In terms of percentages the Japanese death tolls in some engagements were amazingly high against the US recapturing forces.
The second answer is correct. In fact, the three largest battles of World War II (Stalingrad, Kursk, Moscow) were all on the Eastern front.
The Battle of Jutland
Cause of war in Europe and Asia?
1941 japan increases its attacks in Asia, taking french colonies.United states and japan enter peace talks about Asia while japan plans attack on united states.jajpan attacks pearl harbor. Germany and Italy dexlare war on unites states. Germany attacks ussr.German submarines continue attacks on us supply ships. Germany, Italy, and japan join as axis powers.
Edit; The historically outmoded desire by the Japanese, the Germans and the Italians to establish an Empire by force, rather than by negotiation.
the world war two also broke out because of the appessement.
Edit...
After WWI the civilians of the defeated European powers felt they had been misused by European Royalty and gradually turned to worker rebellion. The same as facilitated the Communist uprising in Russia. The reparations imposed on German were barely sustainable due to the availability of US loans. This all came crashing down when, after the Wall Street collapse in 1929, the US withdrew those loans causing inflation to runs wild in Germany and creating unrest by which Hitler could capture an increased part of the vote. Having wandered from one political persuasion to another during which time he established an iron hand of discipline using the SA and the Nazi Party, the German Bankers decided that in order to protect their assets, the discipline of Hitler was preferable to worker chaos and so Hitler was appointed Chancellor appointing himself the fuhrer or leader while dismissing any input from von Papen who was his mentor, demanding that all swear allegiance to himself personally. His plans were to make Germany the dominant power in the world with his methods based on relentless cruelty as a means by which to convinse the opposition that it was futile to resist.
The 1939 Pact with Russia for the supply of material prior to Germany attacking Russia in mid 1941, was a convoluted mess of betrayal by which Germany and Russia attacked Poland in September 1939, not simply Germany as is often supposed.
Japan's attacks on China in the thirties, during which she was defeated by the Russians in the North, caused them to reevaluate their strength, especially when faced with the US oil embargo as a means of restricting their demonstrated plans for war and their their atrocities in China. Any hope of success required swift action before the rise of US power depleted any hope of success. The attack on Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December 1941 was modeled on an earlier successful British raid on the Italian fleet in harbor in Italy. The German attack on Russia in mid 1941 also scared the Japanese that as an ally of Germany, they may have been required to attack Russia in Northern China. This was a most unwelcome thought as the Russians had already bloodied the Japanese nose quite severely. So it was, that six months after Germany attacked Russia, Japan was sufficiently emboldened to begin her blood-soaked attempt at expansion in the South.
What jeans show largest bulge?
Jeans that typically show the largest bulge are those with a snug fit, often referred to as "skinny jeans" or "slim-fit jeans," as they closely contour to the body. Styles with stretchy fabric, such as those containing elastane, can enhance the appearance of bulge by providing a tighter fit. Additionally, jeans with a low-rise waist can accentuate the area by sitting lower on the hips. Ultimately, personal comfort and style preferences should guide the choice of jeans.

Did Americans fight in Europe before D-Day?
I do know that American pilots did fly for the British during the Battle of Britain (Royal Air force versus Luftwaffe) in the Eagle Squadron. I cannot vouch for the historical accuracy of the name of the fighter unit, but American DID fly for the RAF. this was not officially sanctioned by the US government, but it is believed that members of the US War Dept. were VERY happy US airmen were getting vital combat experience in light of the emerging Japanese threat.
The scenes from Pearl Harbor vis-a-vis the Eagle squadron may have some historical accuracy.
Is there a roster of Co A tenth Inf Battle at Ardennes 44-45?
I searched for a roster of the 10 Infantry and the 10th Armored Division in the Battle at Ardennes/Alsace. I could find notations about them but no roster. Perhaps you should contact the 10th infantry or 10 Mountain Infantry at their website or consult the Oxford Military History Companion.
What did the allies wont from the battle of the bulge?
The Allies wanted to preserve their front and not be split into two sections with the Germans between them.
Did Glenn Miller have any bearing on the start of the Battle of the Bulge?
None whatsoever. In spite of being a major in the Army Air Force his role was entirely musical, not military. In addition the first shots in the Battle of the Bulge were fired on December 16, 1944, the day after Miller's plane went down.
However, the Battle of the Bulge could be said to have been partially responsible for his death. The Allies knew about increased Wehrmacht activity and had diverted a lot of airplanes on December 15, 1944. That combined with bad weather made it difficult for him to find a non-combat flight to Paris so that he could prepare for the orchestra's planned Christmas concert.
The final pieces of the puzzle included Miller's own lapsed judgement about flying in bad weather, the questionable skills of his plane's pilot, and a balky carburetor that may have failed somewhere over the English Channel.

What did isolationists want the Neutrality acts?
Isolationists supported the Neutrality Acts primarily to prevent the United States from becoming entangled in foreign conflicts, particularly in Europe. They aimed to maintain peace by avoiding military alliances and interventions, believing that involvement in overseas wars could lead to unnecessary loss of American lives and resources. The acts were designed to reflect a commitment to neutrality and to protect American interests without engaging in international disputes.

What is the most important event in history?
From a scientific perspective I would say that the most important event in history was the Big Bang. But you were probably asking about human history, not cosmic history. The human race as we know it (homo Sapiens) probably resulted from a single mutation in an earlier hominid species, and that might have been the most important event in human history, although we have no historical record of it. Since that is a hypothetical event, it may also not be what you are looking for. Limiting myself to known historical events, the choice is tremendously debatable, but I tend to think that the adoption of monotheism by the ancient tribes of Israel may have proved to be the most important event, in terms of its consequences for human history.
There really is no answer for that question. It all depends on perspective and focus. Try to narrow it down a bit.
The "Big Bang" never happened. The universe, earth, and everything else isn't an accident. God created each and every single thing for a reason. If you don't believe me, that's your problem.
Was the The Battle of the Bulge part of the Seven Years War?
If you are talking about World War 2, then yes.
Anything else is no.
The Battle of the Bulge was part of World War 2 from 1944 to 1945.
The Seven Years War was in the 1700s, almost 200 years earlier.
What happened prior to September 11th?
The terrorists planned for an attack on a bunch of fronts, but in the end they were only prepared to attack the World Trade towers, the Pentagon, and the White House. Some information that wasn't reliable (but true) was lost in the shuffle and then the twin towers were hit by two planes. The attack on the Pentagon only partly succeeded and the White House plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
The NSA and CIA had information that an attack was coming, but were forbidden by federal law from sharing that intelligence with the FBI.
Various conspiracy theorists point to discrepancies in how officials responded, and how they said they responded. Uncertainty remains over the full extent of the September 11th attacks, and their role in the long-term plans of Islamist extremist groups such as Al Qaeda.
