US in WW2

The Axis countries. Namely Japan, Fascist Italy and Germany

Yes. Even though the attack at Pearl Harbor decimated the U.S. fleet, several ships (Such as the Enterprise) were not at Pearl Harbor during the attack. These aircraft carriers spearheaded the war on the Pacific Front, which ended after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japanese islands. So yes, America ended the war Japan started.

1951

German Americans and Italian Americans were interned; and they were incarcerated in more than 50 camps across this great land.

I am living proof of such internment; I was 12 when I was interned at both Ellis Island, NY and at Crystal City Texas. More than 15,000 German Americans and Italian Americans were interned. Upwards of 40,000 German Americans were arrested by various agencies.

See http://www.foitmes.com for more info on this! The question is "false."

If you are speaking of a formal internment as the Japanese Americans were, then no they weren't. However in many parts of the US, these different groups were "interned" in place and very carefully watched. There are many local traditions of certain families and entire groups who were "quarantined" in the town or forced to move to that particular area.

One such town was Cullman, Alabama. Being predominately German American, during the war, this town was heavily watched by the government and almost interdicted by the state. Other pockets of German Americans were "reminded" that they were not welcomed in the community, necessitating hasty moves in some cases.

While there was no formal internment by the federal government, the local populace did make sure that such citizens were closely watched. Part of the reason is that these populations did not settle quite as densely as the Asian Americans, preferring to emigrate further into the interior of the country. While they did settle in enclaves, most were small and rather far apart.

Only in the large metropolises is it apparent that there are "Little Italy" or "Germantown". For most of the country, the citizens are more homogeneous with smaller neighborhoods as a cultural base.

On the Allied side it scared them. Everyone from the most recent replacement private to the Supreme Allied Commander was of the opinion that the war was over. They were resting up for a "all done push" into Germany"s heartland.

The German's failure to punch through in this endeavor was the "final straw". It was over at the point of their witdrawal. When the troops began to pull out there was only a slim hope that somehow they would survive to see their homes again.

Even General Eisenhower was looking for some way out. He accepted "Operation Market Garden" as the way to end WW-2 in Europe. That failed.

The term "day of infamy" was used in President Roosevelt's speech the day after the attack when he addressed the nation and declared war on Japan.

This term became associated with the Pearl Harbor attack. There is at least one book written about Pearl Harbor that takes this term as the title of the book.

Why FDR used that term can only be answered by him. Bascially, he was saying that No American will ever forget the day the Japanese attacked the USA and we won't let the Japanese forget it either.

I am not 100% sure, but if they did you would think that they would publicly announce it in speaches, photos, and posters like the US did. if you do google searches for this you will find no evidence of metal drives in ww2. I think its safe to say that there was next to no scrap metal drives in germany during ww2.

USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is a supercarrier in the United States Navy, the lead ship of its class. She is one of the largest warships in the world. She was laid down, launched and commissioned as CVAN-68, but was redesignated CVN-68 (nuclear-powered multimission aircraft carrier) on 30 June 1975 as part of the fleet realignment of that year. The ship was named for Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who commanded the Pacific fleet in World War II and was the Navy's last five-star admiral. Unlike all subsequent Nimitz class carriers, Nimitz only uses its namesake's surname. Nimitz has been homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard from 1987 until her nuclear reactor refueling in 1998 in Newport News, Virginia, and is currently homeported at NAS North Island.

During the Vietnam War:

1. US forces used M48A3 Patton medium gun tanks and M551 Sheridan light tanks (Armored Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicles).

2. ARVN forces (South Viet Army) used US supplied M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks.

3. Australian forces used Centurion medium gun tanks.

4. NVA (North Viet Army) used Soviet/Chicom supplied T54 or T55 medium gun tanks and PT76 Amphibious light tanks.

During the early stages of the war, there were some old left over WWII Japanese Type 95 light tanks being used by the French supported forces.

The United States contributed many things: 1. Money

-The Allies were able to borrow $10.5 billion from sources in the United States, and $3.5 billion of that sum was raised before the United States entered the war. 2. Supplies

-American manufacturers made war materials to Allied specifications and shipped them to the Allies.

3. The Red Cross

-That one is kind of self-explanatory. 4. Troops

-I would like to call your attention to the 369th Infantry which was loaned to France for a good while, but that's not all. Americans did a lot of fighting for the Allies in World War I.

It depends upon what military you are talking about and what type of tank the battalion utilizes or is it diverse? For a light tank battalion the numbers will be greater than a Main Battle Tank battalion.

Ever heard of wind talkers? well native Americans were used to send codes and whatnot to other companys, theyd speak their native tongue to another native American in some other company, the enemy soon learned about it and it died out quickly, theyd capture a "wind talker" and make them tell them what the code said.

If GB means Great Brit, then no they didnt. But they cut off all ties with them in order to avoid direct conflict with Axis powers. Still they provide resources for them during the war.

The U.S. emerged from WW2 as a superpower and the leading proponent of democracy in the world. The U.S. is the only country able to stand up to the Soviet Union and prevent the spread of communism. The above along with the baby boom Quicker advance in technology [not only inthe US but all of the other countries involved in the war] 'Disagreements' with the USSR [communism became a bigger deal after the 2nd world war] Nuclear Powered Navy [Hyman Rickover was like "ooh make a nuclear bomb with lots of power, how can we harness this for more power?"]...{g-d-d--n Rickover}

He was relieved of his command by President Truman for not following the policies in Korea. MacArthur wanted to invade China and rid the world of Communism. Truman wanted peace and stability after 4 long years of war. HE JUST DIDNT LISTEN

the good conduct ribbon get a knot for 3 years

I assume you mean the U.S. ? America owes its conception to England and they speak our language and the prime minister and the president are all friendly and englands current government is on the same oil seeking agenda as the U.S., you Americans just love war for some reason though, its because all you Americans are bullies, that is why the world hates you, America has no reason to go to war with one of their allies, so they wont

will your right but, why will you say that the u.s is bullies,and we love war???

After almost 2 years of planning Allied troops composed mostly of British, American and Canadian soldiers mounted the worlds largest ever combined operation. This involved over 175,000 soldiers landing on the coast of Normandy by ship, parachute and glider. These men were armed with tanks and artillery and made a significant beach head on the first day. Landings kept happening after this first day and by the end of June the Allied forces had almost a million men ashore in France pushing the ill-prepared German armies back.

Written by Edmund Burke, The Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher who, after moving to England, served for many years in the House of Commons of Great Britain As the Member of the Whig party. He is Mostly remembered for supporting the American Revolution and and later on the French Revolution.

The USAF F100 Super Sabre. The F100 fought in Vietnam from 1961 thru 1971, firing it's 20mm cannons against ground targets longer than any other jet attack aircraft. The Super Sabre was also amongst the most favorite to call in by ground forces, because the F100 came in low and CLOSE to the men on the ground all the while firing it's guns.

Yes, the Congressional Medal of Honour is the highest US military award.

Death marches transported Jews from concentration camp to concentration camp as the Allies neared.
