US in WW2

no that was in WWI

Actually in both wars they switched sides.

-Before WW1 they were aligned with Germany but switched when the war started.

-When the Allies invaded Sicily during WW2 the Italians surrendered and joined the Allies, but Benito Mussolini was rescued by Germany and he started the Italian Social Republic in Northern Italy, It became Allies (US, UK, Italy) VS. Axis (Germany, Italian Social Republic).

Not that much. Anthropologically, many Indonesian people are descended from the Philippines. Since, the Taiwanese first reached the Philippines and then what is now Malaysia, and Indonesia. Which is why, Indonesians look exactly like Filipinos. Even their culture resembles Filipino cultures a little bit.

But, Indonesians and Filipinos don't really know each other these days. They simply just don't pay attention to each other. They're caught up in much other things. If Filipinos and Indonesians started becoming aware of each other, there is much they would learn. They'd also be stunned at how similar they look.

Penile Prostheses

Definition

Penile prostheses are semirigid or inflatable devices that are implanted into penises to alleviate impotence.

Purpose

The penis is composed of one channel for urine and semen and three compartments with tough, fibrous walls containing "erectile tissue." With appropriate stimulation, the blood vessels that lead out of these compartments constrict, trapping blood. Blood pressure fills and hardens the compartments producing an erection of sufficient firmness to perform sexual intercourse. Additional stimulation leads to ejaculation, where semen is pumped out of the urethra. When this system fails, impotence (failure to create and maintain an erection) occurs.

Impotence can be caused by a number of conditions, including diabetes, spinal cord injury, prolonged drug abuse, and removal of a prostate gland. If the medical condition is irreversible, a penile prosthesis may be considered. Patients whose impotence is caused by psychological problems are not recommended for implant surgery.

Description

Penile implant surgery is conducted on patients who have exhausted all other areas of treatment. The semirigid device consists of two rods that are easier and less expensive to implant than the inflatable cylinders. Once implanted, the semirigid device needs no follow-up adjustments, however it produces a penis which constantly remains semi-erect. The inflatable

The inflatable implant is a common penile prosthesis. This device connects through a tube to a flexible fluid reservoir and a pump. The pump is shaped like a testicle and inserted in the scrotum. When the pump is squeezed, the fluid is forced into the inflatable cylinders implanted inside the penis, producing an erection.

cylinders produce a more natural effect. The patient is able to simulate an erection by using a pump located in the scrotum.

With the patient asleep under general anesthesia, the device is inserted into the erectile tissue of the penis through an incision in the fibrous wall. In order to implant the pump for the inflatable implant, incisions are made in the abdomen and the perineum (area between the anus and the genitals). A fluid reservoir is inserted into the groin and the pump is placed in the scrotum. The cylinders, reservoir, and pump are connected by tubes and tested before the incisions are closed.

Preparation

Surgery always requires an adequately informed patient, both as to risks and benefits. In this case, the sexual partner should also be involved in the discussion. Prior to surgery, antibacterial cleansing occurs and the surrounding areas are shaved.

Aftercare

To minimize swelling, ice packs are applied to the penis for the first 24 hours following surgery. The incision sites are cleansed daily to prevent infection. Pain relievers may be taken.

Risks

With any implant, there is a slightly greater risk of infection. The implant may irritate the penis and cause continuous pain. The inflatable prosthesis may need follow-up surgery to repair leaks in the reservoir or to reconnect the tubing.

Britain and the United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941.

Bizarre as it may sound, the United Kingdom technically declared war on Japan before the U.S. did. While President Roosevelt spent about a day preparing his war declaration speech*, Prime Minister Churchill felt honor bound to keep a promise to declare war on Japan "within the hour" of learning of an attack on the U.S.

* Literally up to the last hour, FDR's Secretary of State Stinson insisted that the speech be long and detailed. FDR instead chose to do a short and succint speech. Let the record show that people today can even recite the cadence with which FDR stated, "Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which wil live IN INFAMY -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."

by nuking them. End of story. America Wins, Japan crys themselves to sleep at night knowing they are forever eternal failures.

It was a major oil refinery used ror more than half of the U.S. fuel.

The two main commanders of Allied forces during the war against Japan were General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz . Nimitz ran the pacific war and MacArthur reclaimed the Philippines.

Guadalcanal. However, it was a six month long battle...with many US losses, then finally a US win. Contrary to popular belief; Guadalcanal wasn't simply a land fight...it was a series of NAVAL battles, in which the US Navy suffered about the same, if not more losses than the Japanese Navy did. Had the USN lost the naval battle, the US Marines on the island would have starved and ran out of ammunition, ultimately losing the ground war on Guadalcanal. As it was, the Japanese ARMY starved and ran of ammunition...and ultimately lost the ground war. However, instead of being wiped out or surrendering (which wasn't going to happen)...they evacuated the island(s), and were transported to other garrisons to continue the war. They were transported by high speed warships (destroyers) under cover of darkness.

The Allied demand of both these states to surrender unconditionally made surrender less palatable than might have otherwise been the case. There is no room whatever for negiotiation. Hindsight is a wonderful thing to behold......

Germany and Japan fought on for many reasons, many fought for duty, many fought to hide their crimes, many fought fanatically out of loyalty to the respective leaders of those countries.

Germany especially fought fanatically because of Goebbels propaganda of what would happen to Germany if they surrendered, the conduct of the Red Army when it reached German soil somewhat vindicated this propaganda, Also,Nazi Germany was absolutist, anybody even suspected of cowardice or desertion, or speaking out against the regime or even anybody who muttered the word surrender, were brutally put down.

The US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also extensively bombed Tokyo, Yokohama and other major and minor cities.

opposing forces push with equal strength

The aircraft were used as primitive weapons in WW1. For the first few monthes they were just used for observing. Until 1914 when Roland Garros mounted a gun and steel deflectors on the propeller to save it from the bullets.

Step 1: He gathered an army

Step 2: He told that army to kill people

Step 3: The people did

Step 4: Profit

Because Sweden was north of all the European combat zones, they weren't in anyone's way, and were not attacked. It's easy to remain neutral as long as no one is attacking you. We can safely assume that if the Third Reich had won, they would in due course have gotten around to absorbing Sweden into their empire. Neutrality would not have protected Sweden from a victorious Reich, bent upon world domination.

Douglas MacArthur was born on January 26, 1880

This is probably a typo. Especially if you typed this question directly from a paper from a history class. The correct year is 1945, and the General Douglas MacArthur conquered Japan in this year. World War II ended on September 2, 1945, when the Japanese formally surrendered.

You can get dog tags (sometimes referred to as military dog tags or army id tags) from many army surplus stores in the US where they can engrave them on the spot with a dog tag machine. The 2 types of engravings are embossing and debossing. Embossing is the new standard being used at many US military bases but both are permitted for official use. Dog tags can also be easily ordered and printed online and delivered worldwide.

French-German relations have been time and again tested throughout history. Ever since the 18th century, the two states have had a mutual distrust, constantly fearing an attack from one another. In the Napoleonic Wars, France (the continental European superpower at the time) invaded Prussia (what was then Germany), occupying the area and eventually continuing on to Russia. Although le bleu were stopped by a bitter Russian winter, pushed out of Russia, and eventually out of Prussia, a deep-seated distrust developed between the French and the German states. Later that century, in 1870, the cunning Prussian prime minister Bismarck engineered a unification of the German states by goading France into a declaration of war. Shocking the world, the advanced Prussians smashed the cocky French in the Franco-Prussian War. Reluctantly, France ceded the famous Alsace-Lorraine territory to Prussia. Immediatley after the war, however, the French pledged themselves to getting back their lost territory. They developed Plan XVII, a scheme to take back Alsace-Lorraine from the hated Germans if war should ever break out. In 1882, Germany formed an alliance with Austria-Hungary. France, feeling understandly threatened from the two emerging powers to their east, formed an alliance with Russia in early 1900. These two opposing alliances, along with the desire to create an empire and rising nationalism, led to an incredibly intriguing and costly arms race in Europe. Hundreds of battleships were built; armies were in the millions. Even Great Britain was brought out of its splendid isolationism (Britain had 49 battleships to Germany's 29 at the end of the race). The kindling was there--France wanted to exact revenge and get Alsace Lorraine back while Germany wanted an empire--it just needed a spark. After World War I, in which the French fought gallantly and proudly (for all you French military haters) Germany ceded Alsace-Lorraine back to France in the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was incredibly harsh on the Germans, another factor which caused the Germans to despise their western neighbor. However, despite the French victory in the Great War, Le Bleu remained wary and suspicious of a German attempt to regain the territory. The memory of France's horrific losses in WWI were still fresh in French minds, and they remained acutely aware of the fact that their population was smaller than the Germans, and thus every man lost was far more costly. This caused France to build the Maginot Line, which heightened the rivalry and distrust between the two collosi.

• they both were in world war 2
• both nations are huge consumers and producers of beer, spirits, and wine.
• both are industrialized technological nations
• The United States coined the idea of reservations for Native Americans, Germany borrowed the idea during WW2 for those they considered undesirable
• religion and government are separate (free to worship in any religion)
• English is a germanic language and is widely spoken in Germany

Basically, the U.S. ended up supporting Britain (before France was freed; Remember, it was invaded!) with machinery, weapons, ammunition as well as man power. Unlike the view of most american's, they didn't do all that much. They came in pretty much at the end of the war to rock'n'roll. Their troops were fresh, all others were decimated and low moraled. Bringing in the G.I.'s did help to lift spirits on the Birtish chaps. With D-Day, the support was pretty much manifested. The Allies (America and England) freed France.

What happened after that, was pretty much history. As the war carried on, America also started to jump into action on their own side. Best example is Berlin. It was taken half by russia, half by america. In the end nothing but the Berlin Wall stood in the middle, where Americans and Russians had finally met.
