France in WW2

1519. He was Killed by a whole bunch of Aztecs
They hung his skin in a temple as a war trophy.

France has had to learn to remain a world power, in name only. France had continuously come out on the losing end with it's lengthy wars with Great Britain, was defeated in it's war with Prussia in 1871, and was nearly beaten during WW1; and was only saved by Britain and the US's entry into the war. France was beaten, and occupied by Germany in WW2. Being only a "figurehead" of surviving French leadership living in Great Britain during WW2. After WW2, France again was only a figurehead as a world power; possessing nuclear weapons and modern military equipment, yet losing nearly every, if not all, military campaigns that it participated in. France, like Italy, is a nation that thrives in a Mediterranean climate and atmosphere; and is accustomed to fine art, foods, wines, and beautifully designed cars, homes, warplanes, warships, military uniforms, and some excellent armored vehicles. But when it comes to war; it's been said "...that some men make better coaches than football players..."

The day Germany surrendered was labeled by Winston Churchill as VE day. VE stood for Victory over Europe. Later when Japan was defeated that day was designated as VJ day, Victory over Japan. England still celebrates VE day and it is a holiday. The US changed it to Memorial Day so all soldiers who fought in all wars would be commemorated.

Middle colony homes were made out of very simple materials. Often times these homes would be made mostly out of wood.

Germany invaded France during World War II.

Colonial sawmills were usually small operations with two or three people. Much of the sawing was done by hand or crew saws. More intricate mills may have had water powered saws that made factory grade boards.

The British wanted to keep the Iroquois happy so they paid them to scalp Americans that went west of the Appalachian Mountains. And since the French and Indian was was so expensive, the British felt it was time that the Americans paid taxes.

Operation Overlord. The largest amphibious operation in history.

Trench warfare isn't used anymore because for the most part it is outdated. The main strength of armies today are their ability of movement. Trenches and fox holes are useful if you need to protect a certain area. They are just like strong points. which still thorugh out wars they are used. But i don't think we will ever have the grand trenches like that of world war I. Also the technology we have now could easily defeat the trench. Just iamgine world war I having a cruise missile. "Sir, we need tog et through that trench". Man gets on radio, calls to a ship, give coordinates, missile caomes in and blows hole in trench, men charge across field filling gap and succesfully penetrate enemies defensive line.

They fought each other in France and Northern Africa.

France was not the only country that went to war with Germany. Britain and America also helped. However, France went to war with Germany because Germany had invaded most of France. So the allied powers(America, Britain, and France) attacked Germany. On June 6 1944. that day was called D-day.(or operation overload) when America invated Germany and caused Germany to surrender.

Not strictly true. Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939 - two days after Germany had invaded Poland. Germany didn't attack France until April !940. Germany declared war on the United States on 11 December 1941.

The bloody, unmerciful invasion of Poland by the German armies convinced Britain (Finally) and France that appeasing German leaders had utterly failed. They had made the mistake of believing that Adolph Hitler was a reasonable, honorable man.

British units were organized into Brigades. If you can identify the Brigades that was there, then you can find out the regiments that were in that brigade. Each British Reigment had several battalions and they usually served in different areas. (This derived from WW1 when regiments were raised from one local area of Britain and when the regiment suffered in combat the local community was devastated.) Therefore, one specific Regiment might be found in many Brigades.

For US regiments, you identify the Infantry Division and that will tell you what regiments were there.

The city government is divided into the usual three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. However, the judicial is really part of the state court system, since regular state courts have jurisdiction in Chicago. Chicago is divided in 50 wards.

CHARLES DE GAULLE WAS THE LEADER OF THE ANTI-NAZI UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT AGAINST HITLER WHEN HITLER CONQUERED FRANCE.AFTER THE D-DAY LANDING IN NORMANDY,FRANCE AND HITLER WAS FORCED OUT OF FRANCE HE WAS MADE THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE TO LEAD THE FRENCH FORCES FROM FRANCE AGAINST THE FUEHRER(HITLER) AS AN ALLIED ATTACK AND WHEN THE ALLIES WON THE WORLD WAR 2 HE WAS CLEARLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE...

The above message contains debatable information/opinion. De Gaulle participated very little in the pre-invasion planning leading up to June 6, 1944. When shown the final plans by Eisenhower, De Gaulle is reported to have criticized it extensively, but had never shown any interest in the planning of the invasion. De Gaulle was an almost necessary figurehead for the French who yearned for freedom from the Nazi rule. To call De Gaulle the "leader of the anti-Nazi underground" is a great stretch of the truth. He functioned more as a politician who was only too happy to march at the front of the column of troops as they made their way into Paris on 19 August 1944. He was otherwise pretty useless (my opinion) to the Allied efforts to liberate Europe.

King louis xii Was king of France during the 1500s he had one main enemie and that was king henry viii of England who soon had a daughter ellizabeth i who was in a quarrel with france and spain until she died in the 1600s.

The allies had no strategy after France fell in the Mid 1940. England knew they were next so they just planned to defend. They were not thinking about the future they were just focused on defending themselves. After the Battle of Britain was won Egypt was invaded by a large Italian Army. But it was badly trained and equiped. Britain crushed the Italians but then made a fatal mistake. The send half their army to Greece to help defend it. This caused both forces, the one in Italy and the one in North Africa to be destroyed. General Erwin rommel Rommel's tactical genius led his rather small force to victory. However the Australians held Tobruk for many months. The Allied plan was to now put everything they had into Africa to defeat Rommel. This became even more important when Russia was invaded. Stalin told the allies that he needed a 2nd front to keep Germany bussy while he could reorginize and launch counter offencives. This became much more possible When the US entered the war. A year later the allies had almost defeated Rommel and were ready to invade Italy. Russia was now on the offencive. And in Mid 1943 Germany was on the defencive. In both Russia and Italy. Although Germany managed to keepthe Russia front stable for the most part. Germany would soon have to fight 3 fronts. Operation Overlord, the Invasion of France was a sucess. But simply because of poor German leadership. Rommel was back and incharge of defending France. However his superiors and him had arguements over how the Panzer Divisions should be employed. This caused a defeat for Germany. Despite this failure to place the Panzers properly D-Day could have failed. There were 2 Panzer Divisions near by Normandy. Had they counter attacked immediatly the Invasion could have been repelled but the Panzers were slow to get off and many commanders were in denial about the fact that tens of thousands of ships were comming towards them. Germany simply did not have the strength to fight 3 fronts. However the outcome of the war would have resulted in Germany ruling the world had Hitler lisened to his Generals. Sadly he never did and made foolish mistakes during the war when it came to the battle strategy.

It wasn't France's and Great Britain's fault.Most blame The Treaty of Versailles being to harsh on Germany, which it really was.If it hadn't been so horrible, things might have been different.
