What was part of Germany's invasion of Poland?
Invasion of Poland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Invasion of Poland, also known as the September Campaign or 1939 Defensive War (Polish: Kampania wrześniowa or Wojna obronna 1939 roku) in Poland and the Poland Campaign (German: Polenfeldzug) in Germany, was an invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and a small Slovak contingent that marked the start of World War II. The invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and ended 6 October 1939 with Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of Poland.
The day after the Gleiwitz incident, German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west. As the Germans advanced, Polish forces withdrew from their forward bases of operation close to the Polish-German border to more established lines of defence to the east. After the mid-September Polish defeat in the Battle of the Bzura, the Germans gained an undisputed advantage. Polish forces then withdrew to the southeast where they prepared for a long defence of the Romanian Bridgehead and awaited expected French and British support and relief.
What were people fighting for in World War 2?
On 7th December 1941 (surely you must know this) carrier borne planes of the Imperial Japanese Navy bombed the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and destroyed many aircraft and sank battleships which were moored in the harbour. Unbeknown to the Japanese, the American carrier carrier fleet had left on a training mission and was therefore undamaged. Japan declared war on the US at the same time as the raid and the US responded appropriately. So the answer to your question must be that the USA was fighting for lost pride and revenge.

If they were painted at all, it was mostly olive drab, a type of dark green. By that point in the war many were unpainted aluminum, with only insignia and squadron markings painted on.
But on the morning of June 6 all Allied aircraft had a type of new paint job. These were "invasion stripes" - three broad white stripes around each wing and the fuselage, between the cockpit and the tail. This was so Allied aircraft could easily be identified. But there were very few enemy aircraft operating near the invasion beaches that day.

Did president truman make the correct decision in using the atomic bomb?
Truman had no idea the atomic bomb was being developed. He was not even vice president when president Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the development of the atomic bomb on October 9, 1941 after a meeting with Vannevar Bush and then vice president Henry A. Wallace. At this time the United States was not even officially involved in WW2. Truman was first informed of the development of the atomic bomb by secretary of war Henry L. Stimson shortly after Franklin D. Roosevelt died in April 1945 only months before the first atomic bomb was tested. Effectively the atomic bomb was already completely developed before Truman was even aware of it, all that remained to be done was proof testing and combat use (and Franklin D. Roosevelt had already put the military wheels in action before his death for selection of target cities in Japan, although this selection process was not complete until late May 1945).
