The Battle of the Coral Sea came shortly after the beginning of the war in the Pacific. The Japanese military was concerned that the United States would use Australia as a giant naval and airforce base from which to conduct the war against the Japanese in the southern Pacific and threaten the Japanese oil sources in the nearby Dutch East Indies. The Japanese strategy was to isolate Australia by occupying New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Samoa and Fiji. The Japanese Navy was dispatched to do the job. There they met the United States Navy -- with their big carriers. The result was the Battle of the Coral Sea. vcs

During wartime in the 1940's African-Americans were no different than they were prior to the war. In fact, they were enlisting and being drafted just the same as anyone else. However, they did not share the same combat groups as their non-African-American counter-parts because the military was not desegregated until Harry S. Truman ordered it to be done during his presidency after the war.

Did you know that World War II also saw the first African-American military aviators in The United States' Armed Forces?

The Enola Gay was a nickname applied to the B29 that dropped the first atom bomb in history. The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. The pilot of the aircraft, Paul Tibbits, named the aircraft after his mother.

The answer is yes. The United States was pondering a coastal invasion of Japan, which at the time was a heavily fortified army base. The Japanese government did not care about its people and was ready to fight the invading Americans to the death. The projected deaths of American soldiers for this invasion was close to a million. to put that into perspective, about 400,000 Americans ended up dieing in the war all together.

The two atomic bombs dropped were used to send a message to japan that the US had the weapons and was not afraid to use them. They killed approximately 300,000 Japanese citizens and right after they were dropped, japan surrendered and the war was over. Many people believe that decision by Harry Truman to drop the bomb actually saved lives. The war would have lasted much longer and would have been much bloodier if the atomic bomb was not used.

It was basically Pearl Harbor. The majority of the US was isolationist before Pearl Harbor but the unexpected attack on Pearl Harbor changed everything. Now the whole country was in an uproar, and army sign-up stations were filling by the thoisands. Now, the US was hungry for revenge.

The bomb created a blast equivalent to about 13 kilotons of TNT. The radius of total destruction was about one mile, Fires resulting from the explosion spread out to an area of radius of about 4.4 miles Japanese officials determined that 69% of Hiroshima's buildings were destroyed and about 7% damaged. 20 US military captives were killed.

The war decreased the number of plastic and metal non-nessities available and the buying of food was restricted by food stamps. Also most Women had to go to work. Children had less new toys to play with and were always spending their money on war stamps instead of candy

No there are not.

Midway is where Japan lost their best and experienced airmen; the Philippine Sea in 1944 (two years later) is where Japan lost the rest of their carriers and airmen.

There are ten non-permanent members of the UNSC who are selected on a two year basis, of which five are replaced every year. They are selected from a set of regional blocs.

From the 1st of January, 2009 to the 31st of December, 2010:-

Austria (Western Europe and Others)

Japan (Asia)

Mexico (Latin America and Caribbean)

Turkey (Western Europe and Others)

Uganda (Africa)

From the 1st of January, 2010 to the 31st of December, 2011:-

Bosnia and Herzegovina (Eastern Europe)

Brazil (Latin America and Caribbean)

Gabon (Africa)

Lebanon (Asia and Arab)

Nigeria (Africa)

As above, there are a certain number of representatives from each of the regional blocs.

Africa - 3

Latin America and Caribbean - 2

Asia - 2

Western Europe and Others - 2

Eastern Europe - 1

There must also be an "Arab" nation, alternatively from the Asian and African bloc. This is currently Lebanon, thus the group for 1st of January, 2011 to 31st of December, 2012, will have a representative from an Arab nation as part of the African group.

Japan surrendered to USA because USA dropped an atomic bomb which destroyed Hiroshima in World War II. USA dropped the bomb because the Japanese dropped a bomb first in their army bay so they could not attack by sea.

Yes, under Gen. "Blackjack" Pershing. The US Horse Cavalry wasn't officially disbanded until 1942. The US Army's last "horse cavalry" battle was conducted by the US 26th Cavalry...against Japanese Type 95 light tanks in 1942.

My late father was in this battalion and I have a "yearbook" of sorts that contains pictures of all the soldiers and a history of the tasks it performed. If you do not have it already, I can make a photocopy of it for you.

After the atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Nagasaki 9th of August 1945 the Japanese government capitulated to Allied demands of an unconditional surrender six days later upon 15th August 1945 . On the 2nd of September the Japanese signed documents of surrender .

In March 1941, Congress approved the Lend-Lease Act. It authorized Roosevelt to "sell, transfer title to, exchange, lease, lend, or otherwise dispose of, to any such government any defense article" whenever Roosevelt thought it was "necessary in the interests of the defense of the United States." By 1945, the United States had sent more than $40 billion of Lend-Lease aid to the Allies, including the Soviet Union. The Lend-Lease Act was nothing less than an economic declaration of war against Germany and the Axis Powers.

Both the armed forces are meant for the security of the nation.
