Why did the anti-war movement fail to stop the Vietnam war?
Actually, I think the movement did have a major affect in public sentiment turning against the war. The only negative was the protesters' credibility. These were college-age young people with long hair and radical practices for the most part. And their problem was more anti-establishment than it was reasonable problems with the Vietnam war itself. They did, with the help of the media, keep the questions about the war in the public eye. The true stopping point, however, was during the "TET" new year's offensive in February, 1968. Highly respected CBS TV Anchor Walter Cronkite visited Vietnam during this time, and came home declaring that we were losing in Vietnam. That quickly stopped congressional funding and robbed the senior military leadership of their call to expand the war to win. When President Johnson announced that spring that he would not seek re-election, it was like throwing in the towel. Richard Nixon ran on a promise to end the war, which he did through the Paris Accords. By April 25, 1973, all U.S. forces had withdrawn from Vietnam. South Vietnam collapsed from North Vietnam incursion exactly two years later.
What German defenses did the Allies face on D-Day?
There were also inland defenses. The German army flooded fields (to drown paratroopers, this worked very well) they also had the natural defenses of the Normandy hedgerows, these proved weaknesses in the allied tanks and perfect for ambushes.
on the beaches there were AT mines, tank spikes and holes dug into the beach (a fully equipt soldier would drown in these, the british did this in fear of a German invasion)
These defenses were so good that even the preliminary bombardment by the air forces and naval forces couldn't dislodge the defenders as planned
ANSWERSpecifically, the defence of the Normandy coast was provided by the German 7th Army and the 5th Army located around Caen. The surf line was ridden with all sorts of contraptions such as wooden poles with naval mines on top, X shaped iron hedges, "Belgian gates" (iron A frames meant to stop landing craft), AT and anti-personnel mines and barbed wire.The overhangs were indeed defended from concrete bunkers and machine-gun nests of which many had survived the initial air and naval bombardment, especially on the American landing beaches, and further inland there were flooded marshes and artillery positions.
One particular defence was 'Rommels Asparagus', spikes designed to impale paratroops.
Why did Britain and France lose the battle of France?
Largely by surprise. Germany did not expect to be able to get through the French like they did. France was arguably the strongest country at this point in the war (America had not joined yet). Germany was scared of the French military ready to invade Germany and they just decided to attack and it resulted in a huge unexpected victory. French and English forces that were guarding the border had no time to attack the unexpected German force and consequently a large part of France was occupied by the Germans. Once the English heard of this they immediately began preparing themselves because Germany with that much luck would soon attack England. This was stopped by D-day operations in which Americans, French and British forces forced the Germans out of France.
The most important factor in the loss of the battle for France was that the German Army simply, and unexpectedly, outflanked the French Maginot Line (and rendered it completely useless) by invading Belgium and the Netherlands to the North and sweeping into northern France, causing the heroic British evacuation from the beaches at Dunkirk and the trapping of what was left of the French Army into the southern half of their own country.
What were the political conditions in Europe in 1940 and what countries were at war?
German attempts to win over important groups in occupied countries; the reaction to, and effect of, the German occupation; the propaganda struggle, the creation of the first resistance units and repercussions of events such as the German invasion of Russia.
Britain and France and the other Germany
AnswerGermany was angry at the british for stopping their help of rebuilding- Alright so To fully understand the causes of ww2 , one needs to recognize how ww1 ended.The Treaty of Versilles was intended for peace amongst the fighting powers. World War 1 started between two countries. The Arch duke Franz Ferdidnan being assassinated. Each of those countries had allies. Anyway , this treaty made it look like it was All Germanys fault and that they had to pay for all WAr Costs. In october of 1929 the Great Depression hit America. The Stock market crashed on the 29th causing chaos among the citizens. Since alot of money was spent helping the French and instead of paying it off over time , America was in desperate needs for the money ASAP. Unfortunaltly France didnt have the money , as there economy was fluctuating. And since Germany owed France money, the French invaded and basically took over. So , you have the USA wanting the money the French owed and France not having the money taking it from the Germans. After a while , the hard workers of Germany were tired of working the long drastic hours and not receiving much money. The eonomy was poor. These men created the NSDAP. Hitler was the leader. People of Germany for the most part kinda liked Hitler. When the election for a new chairman or president of the country cam around , Hitler wasnt the leading man. However , in order for the leading man to win , Hitler had to be made an officer , since people liked him. OKay , so now you have this political leader who isn't really liked by the people and in order to win he elects Hitler for a job that sounds important but really isn't. Within the next year , the leader of the coutry resigned leaving Hitler incharge. The Next thing you know he has the whole country chanting his name , Germany basically became a cult. In September Hitler decides to INVADE Poland. Germanys economy will benifet from war.
