Britain in WW2

Towns, farms and villages whose distruction had no strategic advantage to the enemy and were therefore less likely to be attacked.

This is called Appeasement. It means giving into commands in order to avoid a fight from someone of higher rank.

As dictated by a promise made, France and Britain immediately declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland.

This was taken from a speech that he made on March 5th 1946 in Fulton Missouri and referring to the fact that the Soviet Union had occupied most of Eastern Europe and the citizens of the occupied countries were not allowed to travel to the west and vice versa. What he actually said was, 'From Strettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has come down across the Continent'. Incidentally, he wasn't Prime Minister at the time as he had unbelievably lost the election in 1945 - but that's democracy.

The sovereign or supreme monarch of an empire; -- a title of dignity superior to that of king; as, the emperor of Germany or of Austria; the emperor or Czar of Russia.

Because they kept Robert E. Lee trapped near Richmond, and not free to make tactical moves.

More decisive, however, was the General Election of November 1864, where the Northern civilians endorsed Lincoln and voted to fight on.

This was not due to the slow-moving Virginia (i.e. Overland) campaign, which had actually damaged Northern morale. It was the success of Sherman in Atlanta, Sheridan in the Shenandoah, and Farragut in the liberation of the blockade-runners' port of Mobile, that revived Northern morale.

i dont no

Since many men were gone, a lot of jobs opened up for them.

After the war, they were supposed to give them up again.

No one I can find in history named Wiston Churchill... HOWEVER, Winston Churchill,

Per Wikipedia.com, was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders and served as Prime Minister twice (1940-45 and 1951-55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. To date, he is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.

Poland boundaries shifted west and north at defeated Germany expense, while east was annexed by Soviet Union.

Churchill first proposed this compromise at Tehran conference and demonstrated it on the map using three matches and napkin. Roosevelt and Stalin agreed and deal was struck. Great example how casually great leaders could decide fate of whole countries and millions of people.

Although the former Allies, and especially British PM Neville Chamberlain, have been much maligned for their appeasemen policy, they realistically speaking had no other choice. France was totally focused on building defensive works and would in the meantime do nothing to provoke Hitler, let alone start an offensive war for which it was not prepared.

Britain had been cutting back on its defense budget for years and only its Navy was superior to Germany's. Its army in Europe was much weaker than Germany's, and Chamberlain knew that he had not a single ally he could count on if he had wanted to start any punitive campaigns now. The US was firmly isolationist and other European countries were either Fascist themselves or just wanted to remain neutral.

So Britain and France by appeasement bought time to prepare for war once it really would start - as they both fully expected it would.

I assume that this question refers to Churchill's leadership in World War 2. Strong points * A sense of mission - the absolute need to defeat Nazism, 'whatever the cost'. * A sense that Britain and the British Empire and Commonwealth had the same mission. * Pugnacious, a fighter by instinct. * Pro-American. * Untainted by appeasement. * Ability to hold the nation together. * Ability to delegate. * Outstanding orator. Problem areas * Failure to keep Arthur Harris (C-in-C) RAF Bomber Command under control. To a large extent Harris was allowed to run his own irrational and extremely costly own little war. * Sometimes appointed second rate commanders. * Probably had little real understanding of ordinary working-class people.

Ummmm roughly speaking I'd hazard a guess at precisely.... none ! I don't think the Italian air force was in any way involved in the Battle of Britain.

The dome of St Paul's, presuming you mean St Paul's Cathedral in London, was pierced by several incendiaries on October 9th 1940. At one point, an unexploded bomb was removed from the roof at incredible risk. While this was the most significant bomb-related event at the cathedral, it was not the only one.

During World War II, Germany gave up its plans to invade Great Britain because he could not defeat the British air force.

Coventry was the major car manufacturing centre in Britain and during World War 2 it mainly produced military vehicles. By bombing it, Germany hoped to disrupt the manufacture of war materials.

Us teenagers normally goof about being total nut-jobs in the holidays and on weekends, screaming and shouting intil the neighbours call the cops on us XD! But as long as we don't kill ourselves we can find fun outta anything really! Even kicking a can of coke around the sidewalk can occupy time. As long as you look hard enough (yea I know it sounds like hardwork ) you can find fun in anything! :)

At least two characters have had the name "Potato Pete".

One was a cartoon character (an anthropomorphic potato), originally used in World War 2 to promote the consumption of potatoes, especially those grown in home gardens. (Also used was "Doctor Carrot".)

The second was one of the original entrants in the Great Pierogi Race, an animated and funny-costume contest presented by the Pittsburgh Pirates during baseball games (inspired by the "racing sausages" mascots of the Milwaukee Brewers). In 2003, Potato Pete was replaced by Oliver Onion. The entertainment is sponsored by Mrs. T's Pierogies of Shenandoah, PA.
