US in WW2

You can find out if your dad won the bronze star in World War 2 by contacting the military records center in St. Louis, MO.

There exists a problem in defining a "battle", for the line between "battle", "siege", and "campaign" is a blurry, fuzzy one.

Indeed, the longer a "battle" goes, the better change is gets called a "siege" or broken up into smaller battles grouped together as a "campaign".

In ancient times, a battle generally could not last more than a couple of days - sufficient supplies were not available, and military strategy didn't encompass the idea of long-term combat. Sieges were generally distinct from battles, in that the siege was usually an occupation around a fixed geographic point, often with little actual combat.

In modern times, industrialization and technology have led us to "continuous combat" - that is, actual, significant fighting occurring throughout the day and night (though, not at the same time in all sections of the conflict), continuing on for weeks or months.

There is no real answer to your question, as it depends on arbitrary lines being drawn between a siege, a campaign, and a battle.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt and upon FDR's death in office he was succeeded by Harry S. Truman .

The bomb was exploded at a height of about 550 meters (1800) above ground.

The planned D-Day assault on the beaches of Normandy would be a complicated military operation. In order to prepare US troops and their commanders for this operation a beach in eastern England was chosen as a practice place for the invasion of Normandy. The English shoreline area that was chosen was considered to be almost a duplicate of the Utah Beach planned for the Normandy invasion. Due to failures in communications between British and American practice forces, approximately 1,000 US troops were killed by accidents during the practice assault.

Hiroshima was the city that was bombed for the first time in history with an atomic bomb. It killed around 100,000 people instantly and more afterward from radiation poison and injuries. Some died years later from cancer. This bomb was dropped to motivate the Japanese to surrender.

The second bombing of Nagasaki was the turning point to end the war. The second atomic bomb known as Fat Boy was dropped on Nagasaki two or three days after Hiroshima was bombed. Over 60,000 people died in that city.

Emperor Hirohito realized he had to surrender considering there was a probability the US could have more atomic bombs and totally destroy his empire. He had sworn to protect the throne and the Empire so he surrendered.

The US military was worried that Japanese agents would be involved in spying or sabotage on the Pacific coast. At the time, some suspected that Japan might mount an attack on the US mainland.
President Roosevelt was convinced to sign an executive order to exclude those of Japanese ancestry from the militarily important areas, and they were relocated to guarded camps, mostly in remote desert areas. More than 110,000 people had to leave their homes and live in crowded and inhospitable conditions. This internment lasted from early 1942 until 1945, when the US Supreme Court ruled that the summary detention of Japanese-American citizens was illegal.

Truman officially desegregated the military.

We had to get all of our naval vessels out of mothballs. Many had been decommissioned and designated for destruction. Many of these same vessells saw extensive conflict in the South Seas.

The B-17 had a capacity to carry 5,000 pounds of bombs. If the mission was a long one, to a very distant target, less bombs might be carried so more fuel could be put on board. The most commonly used bomb was the 500 lb General Purpose (GP), so on most missions the B-17s would have ten of these in the bomb bay. There was a narrow catwalk through the bomb bay between the two stacks of bombs, five to a side, hung in their shackles. After take-off the bombardier had to go back to the bomb bay and remove the safety pins from the nose fuses of the bombs, so they would arm themselves to explode when dropped.

Colonel Doolitle did that. When he returned from China after the raid he was promoted and became very famous. The raid was named after him. It was called the Doolittle Raid.

Canada provided a number of military units, ranging from infantry to artillery to armour, as well as fighter squadrons, and RCN ships on coastal patrols.

The Canadian Army units werea part of the Commonwealth Brigade, that was comprised of British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand troops.

The RCAF fighter pilots flew their own F86 jets, and some were "loaned " to USAF units to train them in close groundsupport to the Commonwealth Brigade, as they used a completely different method of "calling in the air support".

A small and dirty war, that is not much remembered now. Except by those who were there.

I think that a Government should not rule over different Immigrants, I think that they should all be given a chance to have a life where they can provide for their families. We all have different backgrounds, People in America do more harm than maybe a family from Mexico does. Having an easier access to being a citizen of America would be choice for people, except for the people Governing.

For his famous words of wisdom, "the only thing to fear is fear it's self"

In the revolutionary war people took sides as either a partiot or as a loyalist.

Patriots believed in freedom and no longer wished to be under British rule.

While Loyalist felt they had to be loyal to the British king and did not believe in the freedom the patriots had thought of. Thomas Paine had wrote a famous news collom called 'Common Sense' it talked about his beliefs towards the king of Britain and his own as a patriot. Thomas Paine was a patriot and made that very clear, he argued about British rule through 'Common Sense'. Patriots fought in war against the British and the British fought in war to try to keep their rule of America. The Boston tea party was held by patriots when the British refused to stop their taxation toward the colonies for tea.

During the Boston tea party patriots snuck on a British ship sending shipping their tea disguised as native Americans and dumped all of the tea into the harbor.

You may be wondering why tea was so important to the Americans. It was not the tea that meant so much. But, It was the overall fact of taxing the Americas for their goods that really bothered them. Patriots had won the war on the 4th of July. This would be a good topic to do some research on because this is a topic that reaches far more than what I can tell you!

The primary reason for the War of 1812 was that Great Britain issued trade restrictions which interfered with the United States' business relationship with France. Another main issue was the forced entry, most often referred to as impressment, of American citizens into Britain's Royal Navy. The last core issue of concern is that Great Britain was aiding American Indians who were up in arms against the people of the United States. The War of 1812 was critical in the United States of America's establishment of independence internationally, as not many at the time expected the fairly new country to stand up against the nation of its origin after a series of insulting actions by the latter.

Harry Truman was a demoncrat.
