Britain in WW2

No, of course not. He tried invading the UK and invading the countries that the UK had already invaded like Egypt.

-I disagree, in Mein Kampf he writes that he wants Germans to behave more like the British and I believe he had ambitions to give Britain a special role in the Reich ( though i can't remember what that was) and I think it was supposed to be his cherry on the cake of the Reich.

The Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire were British aircraft used during the Second World War. Export customers/recipients of the Hurricane include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, France, Finland, Germany (captured aircraft), Greece, India (during the British colonial period), Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Soviet Union, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. Export customers/recipients of the Spitfire included Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Burma, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, India (during the British colonial period and post-independence), Indonesia, Ireland, Italy (captured examples during the war, exported aircraft after the war), Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe), South Africa, Soviet Union, Sweden, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, United States, and Yugoslavia.

Before the invasion of Poland, Chamberlain represented Great Britain, and their fear of the Nazi regime. A policy of appeasement was used in order to lessen the fears of Britain. In effect, Chamberlain allowed Germany to reoccupy the Sudetenland, which led them to the invasion of Poland

The blitzkrieg was a strategy used by the Germans in much of Europe, except the Great Britain. All major cities of Europe and the cities of Western Russia suffered from this. However, the Germans realized that blitzkrieg wouldn't work for a big country like Russia, even though it proved to be overwhelmingly successful in the occupation of the rest of Europe.

Much like Britain and France, the United States did not take action against Italian and German aggression. Americans, British, and French were all scarred from the Great War that had just taken place (WW1), so they thought that by responding to Italian and German aggression could potentially start a war. American's did not respond because they wanted to avoid war at all costs.

You mean for the US forces? Well for starters I will concentrate on the land fighting and (sorry) on the Western Allies. (leave the air and naval components to someone else) and I will answer questions about the Chinese, Russians, etc if you still want them. (I'm no expert, just a guy who likes military history) Pacific: Opponent: Japan Nature of combat: Sea and air battles with intense close-range firefights Small patrols going around in a jungle environment On land, the fighting was dominated by infantry and artillery. What few tanks the Japanese possesed were soon outclassed. The Americans found that the terrain in the Pacific was also not conductive to large armoured formations: therefore they depended mostly on the Marines to do the brunt of the fighting The fighting was of a close-range nature, often hand-to-hand as Americans and Japanese may run into each other in the Jungle paths without warning. In the Pacific Theater, no quarter was asked and none given. An important aspect to remember was that, though there was certainly tension and rivalry between the US Army/Marines and Navy, there was almost downright hostility between the Japanese Army and Navy, and they often refused to cooperate with each other. This had major consequences on the outcome of the Pacific Campaign. The Americans often used the "grease" smg in the jungle due to its small size and compactness. Also, the American M1 rifle was clearly superior to the Japanese Arisaka rifle, giving American soldiers an advantage in firefights. The Japanese usually had to depend on their wits and battle fervour (Banzai charges) to counter the American's superior weapons. Oftentimes the Japanese launched night attacks which unnerved the Allies at first but later became accepted as a matter of course. Throughout the Pacific Campaign Japanese troops adopted a stance of fighting to the last man, bullet and bayonet, and would almost never surrender. Marines and GIs later used flamethrowers to disable Japanese pillboxes. Japan fought on tenaciously until the Atomic bombs bought the war to an abrupt end in 1945, putting an end to fears of massive Allied casualties in the case of a step-by-step conventional invasion of Japan itself. The bulk of Japan's land forces were tied up in the inconclusive and brutal China campaign. Finally, the climate in the Pacific was relatively warm, but it was also humid and swarming with insects and tropical diseases. More Japanese troops died from tropical diseases than American bullets in the Guadalcanal campaign, for example. US Marines assigned to the Pacific theater wore a noticeably lighter and airier uniform than their European theater counterparts. The Jungle damp rotted many things, and both sides often had to abandon weapons when they got too rusty. European theater Opponent: Nazi Germany, Italy (sometimes, but usually just Germany) Style of warfare: With a whole continent to work with, all sides were able to field massive formations with thousands of tanks and armoured vehicles, which often dominated the fighting, with infantry often relegated to a support role. While never an "easy" opponent, the Western Allies probably felt it was just a tad easier dealing with the Germans than with the Japanese as the Germans were also a Western culture and can be "read' easier than the "Asiatic" Japanese. However, on the whole it seemed that German generals were better than Japanese ones and understood modern warfare more than anyone else, making Germany an extremely tough opponent. Nonetheless, when things got really rough many German soldiers on the Western front were willing to drop their arms and surrender to the Allies, which meant that not every German was killed, while regiment after regiment of Japanese troops were annihilated. The problem was getting the Germans to surrender in the first place, as Germany probalby had the best weaponry of anyone in the war. A lot of fighting took place in towns and cities, (very rare in the Pacific) where infantry were used to root out resistance street-by-street, with inevitable heavy losses for both sides. A lot of heavy firefights took place in and around buildings. A lot of the strategy hinged on who could unleash his tanks first and set them loose on the enemy. The European theater featured much heavier weaponry than the Pacific theater, as Germany unlike Japan kept inventing new weapons which the Allies and Russians had to counter. The bulk of German divisions were actually facing Russia, who did the bulk of the fighting against Nazi Germany and took the bulk of the casualties. The largest tank battle of all time happened in Kursk (modern Ukraine) July 1943. As a soldier at the front, an infantryman here was often assigned to supporting the tanks, and soldiers in Europe had an assortment of anti-vehicle weapons not usually found in the Pacific, such as Bazookas, Panzerfausts, etc. The Germans were known for launching nasty counterattacks so troops in the European theater had to dig in.... a lot. The Germans usually had the advantage in a straight-up firefight with their MP40s and MG42s (though the German Kar98 rifle still took too long to load despite its accuracy.) so the Allied troops had to be resourceful (or depend on their massive, and I mean massive logistical superiority by 1944) to beat them. Moreover, the German soldiers were usually more experienced than their opponents. The allied advantage lay in the fact that: a) they had a lot more of everything than Germany, and b) Hitler was not in charge of THEIR army. By 1944 Hitler was becoming ever more erratic and made many dubious military decisions which hastened his own demise. Soldiers in Europe usually had to wear a heavier uniform than his Pacific counterpart because the weather in Northwest Europe was often windy, cold and miserable. Snow featured prominently in Russia and in the Battle of the Bulge involving the Americans. Keeping warm was a problem in Europe. Wow I hope that wasn't too long haha hope I answered your question.

Women were mostly employed in health services, entertainment, and food services. A lot of the women served as nurses and medics for wounded soldiers and civilians.

Imperialism allowed Great Britain to control several colonies around the world which greatly improved their economy because they were able to take resources from their colonies, make products out of them, then sell them back to the colonies for an excellent profit. Hope this helped! This is the first time I've ever given an answer on this website:)

On April 18-19 1775 the Revolutionary War began between the Colonists and Britain. In may the Continental congress was formed. On July 4th, 1776 the Decaration of Independence was written reflecting Britains words of freedom in their constitution. They eventually broke away from Britain and became their own colony.

19.7 million , which as you can imagine, cost lots of money!

The regiment that Baden-Powell jointed in 1876 was the 13th Hussars.

They had previously been known as the 13th Light Dragoons and were a cavalry regiment of the British Army who were famous for their role in Waterloo and The Charge of the Light Brigade.

Germany surrendered and its referred to as VE-Day.

Blast From The Past

The term British Soldiers applies to all soldier of the United Kingdom, and historically all soldiers of the British Empire.

Heavy cavalry can be defeated by massed archers and a combination of long wooden pikes and rough terrain.

It was significant as the first defeat of Germany in WW2. There was a time in this that the Germans were winning, and winning significantly. Had the Luftwaffe persevered and pushed the RAF much further north then it may have been possible for the invasion, Sealion, to have been practicable. The change to strategic night bombing of London & elsewhere, the Blitz, was a grave error. The fact was the Engish Channel was the lifeline which kept Britain free from invasion. But I'm thinking the Luftwaffe was far better prepared for WW2 than the RAF, especially in 1940. Yes, both the Spitfire & Hurricane were great aircraft, but the German bombers were numerous and for their time were effective in bringing great destruction. Had the attacks on the airfields been maintained & the RAF forced north of, say, Watford, because of destructon of runways & facilities.....not to mention depredation of the fighters, then the result might have been different in time.

Most of the countries of the British Empire became independent in the years after World War II.
