How did american nationalism display itself in foreign policy?
American nationalism surged during this time influencing such areas as foreign policy and other issues. John Quincy Adams used his nationalistic idea to sign the Treaty of 1818 with Britain that permitted Americans to share the coveted Newfoundland fisheries with England. It further provided for a ten-year point occupation of the untamed Oregon country. Florida was also a subject of contention during this time. Many revolutions were being carried out in Southern American and Spain was very held up with them. Andrew Jackson saw this as an opportunity to add Florida to the United States. Many people were discontent with this, but nationalist John Quincy Adams believed that taking the offensive was the right course of action. Meanwhile in Europe, the reign of Napoleon showed that democracy could cause major problems. This caused a pro-monarchial time in Europe. Many Americans were afraid that they would come interfere with American affairs. As a result of this, the Monroe Doctrine was drawn up that encouraged isolationism and non intervention.

When did the royal artillery use a lanyard?
I assume you mean a lanyard to fire cannon/ artillery pieces. To the best of my knowledge, firing lanyards came about after Napoleonic-style touchole cannons were replaced by more modern breach loading cannons. Lanyards remain in use to this day.
The Royal Navy adopted lanyard systems much faster (as early as the Napoleonic Wars flintlock lanyard firing mechanisms were in use) the primary reason for this being lanyard systems presented less of a risk that the open flame needed for a touchole.
The defending Germans, the attacking Allies, the French residents of the area, the Soviets who were heartened and militarily relieved, the troops fighting in Italy who could hope for less German reinforcements in their area of operations, the Chinese because a victory in Europe meant that the Japanese would soon be likewise attacked in force and the people on the Homefront who could rejoice in the success of the landings and the hope that WWII would soon be over. The World was effected by D-Day.

What is d day in the Anne frank book mean?
I think the landings of June 6th 1944 gave Anne Frank hope. There was a radio in the "secret room" in which she lived. Her diary entry for that day speaks for itself:
Anne Frank, diary entry (6th June, 1944)
"This is D-day", came the announcement over the British radio. The invasion has begun! According to the German news, British parachute troops have landed on the French coast. British landing craft are in battle with the German Navy, says the BBC.
Great commotion in the 'Secret Annexe'! Would the long-awaited liberation that has been talked of so much but which still seems too wonderful, too much like a fairy-tale, ever come true? Could we be granted victory this year, 1944? We don't know yet, but hope is revived within us; it gives us fresh courage, and makes us strong again.
