US in WW2

Because during the Paris Peace Conference following WWI, Germany was left out of any discussion involving the new treaty. Germany was left with a large amount of reparations to pay and land being taken away from them. They were never given a voice, and during the 1920's, they suffered an economic downturn. When the Nazi's rose to power in the 1930's and 40's, they not only placed the blame on minorities and Jews, but the other countries that had treated them so unfairly.

The Soviet Union exploded their first atomic bomb for multiple reasons. Firstly, they wished to test their nuclear capabilities, and further refine their nuclear weapons. Secondly, they wished to say to the world, 'We have nuclear weapons!' This would allow them to have an extra bargaining chip in world discussions, and weakened the bargaining power of the US' nuclear weapons.

Hitler made the decision for the U.S. by declaring war on America (jointly with Mussolini's Facist Italy) on December 11, 1941 - 4 days after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

Why did Hitler declare war on the Americans? It could have been that he was over indulging in fulfilling his obligations to the Tripartite Pact that required military assistance versus any nation that attacked a signator (Japan, Germany, and Italy being the signers). But, America did not attack Japan, it was the other way around.

It could also have been that Hitler thought it was a way to get the Japanese to come into the war versus the Soviets. By December 11, 1941, the Germans were just starting to have setbacks in the attacks on Moscow and on December 5th, they had called off the attack. Although supremely confident in his victory, Hitler may have been trying to hedge his bets.

In America, FDR was all for declaring war on Germany (he had been waging an undeclared limited war against the Germans for some time with materials and anti-sub escorts for British cargo ships), however Congress was not. Even after Pearl Harbor, it took Hitler's declaration of war to get the Congress to act and declare war in return.

Dogs are given metal tags to put on their neck collars to identify them and tell people who are their owners. Therefore the troops dubbed their military identification tags worn around their necks dog tags.

Heinkel HE 219had 2 20MM cannon in wing roots and as many as 4 30MM cannon in a ventral tray under the fusalage.

Japan did not drop any atomic bombs. Rather, the US dropped two atomic bombs on them. The cities that were hit were Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Advertising created markets for goods by convincing consumers that they needed new products.

The U.S. struck Japanese forces almost immediately after Pearl Harbor. Japan was bombed for the first time in 42' during the Doolittle raid (named after the general who commenced it). Japanese homeland had American troops in it at Iwo Jima, 1945. This is part of Japanese sacred homeland and can be considered attacking the country of Japan (as in entering it's borders). Now, their could be other islands that were part of Japan that were attacked, but I don't know of any besides Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

Ray Novak is the Chief of Staff in Canada. He became Chief of Staff in 2013. The chief of staff serves for 2 years.

I think that FDR is amazing.

Second Answer: FDR was amazing. FDR and Winston Churchill were credited with saving the western world as we know it today and I totally agree. He was the President so he had to be in charge of the war and the military leaders and be in constant contact with the leaders of the Allied Nations. If it had not been for his wise decisions and ideas we probably would have lost a lot more people and it war could have cost more than it did. It is sad that he died before the end of the war.

Truman authorised the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki .

A US field army, such as the 7th, had no permanent subordinate units. An army usually consisted of at least two corps, and a corps usually consisted of at least two divisions. The organization of the WWII US Army was such that these corps could be shifted around, from army to army, and divisions could be shifted from corps to corps, as the situation demanded.

The first campaign of the 7th Army was Sicily. George S. Patton, Jr. commanded the army, which consisted of the II Corps, under Omar Bradley. Later Patton reorganized and created an additional "provisional corps" under Geoffrey Keyes. II Corps consisted of the 1st, 3rd and 45th Infantry Divisions. The 2nd Armored Division was a "floating reserve" kept aboard ship, to be landed if needed. The 9th Infantry Division was a reserve, kept in North Africa until entering the battle in its later stages. Part of the 82nd Airborne Division made a combat drop the night before the landings, and three of the army's four Ranger battalions were among the first ashore.

The US 7th Army has been slighted by history, in my opinion. This Army entered the fighting in France by way of the Riviera, the Mediterranean coast of southern France, in the "second D-Day" landings of August 15, 1944. Its commander now was the very able and experienced Alexander "Sandy" Patch, who had commanded the last half of the Guadalcanal campaign in the Pacific. The 7th Army, along with the French First Army, made up the 6th Army Group, commanded by another extremely capable officer, Jacob Devers. Neither Devers nor Patch were selected for these commands by Eisenhower, who got to select all other high-level commanders in France. This is one reason the 7th Army has suffered neglect in historical accounts - neither Devers nor Patch were "Eisenhower men". Another factor was that this southernmost Allied Army Group in France had little promise of getting anywhere important. Even if they fought their way to the Rhine and across, on the other side was the Black Forest, and no objectives of great value.

When the 7th Army landed in France it consisted of only the VI Corps. But the VI Corps had three very tough, veteran divisions, among the very best of the WWII US Army. VI Corps was commanded by Lucian K. Truscott, who had moved up from commanding the 3rd Infantry Division. Truscott would go on to command the US 5th Army. Probably the best US combat division, army or Marine, was the 3rd Infantry Division, which hit the beach along with the 36th and 45th Infantry Divisions as part of VI Corps. Also participating in the Operation Dragoon landings was the 1st Airborne Task Force, which was of near division strength, under Robert T. Frederick. Frederick had commanded the "Devil's Brigade" of movie fame in Italy, which was the First Special Service Force, a hand-picked, all volunteer outfit of Americans and Canadians. The Forcemen were the nucleus of this Airborne Task Force, and there were several US parachute battalions, a glider battalion, an airborne artillery battalion and some British paratroopers as well.

The 7th Army drove north for about 400 miles in a month, up the Valley of the Rhone River, and linked up with the 3rd Army coming from Normandy near Dijon, France, about September 13. After this linkup the VI Corps got two additional infantry divisions, the 100th and 103rd, and the 14th Armored Division, all brand new. Truscott departed for army command and Ned Brooks moved up from 2nd Armored Division to command VI Corps. 7th Army also got another Corps, the XV, under Wade Hampton Haislip. XV Corps had the 44th and 79th Infantry Divisions, and soon the 12th Armored Division.

In December the 42nd, 63rd and 70th Infantry Divisions were assigned to 7th Army.

In January the 7th Army got a third Corps, the XXI, under Frank W. Milburn. The XXI Corps had a new Division, the 75th, the veteran 3rd was moved in from VI Corps, and the 28th Infantry Division, refitted after being overrun the first morning of the Battle of the Bulge up north in Belgium. Later the 12th Armored Division was moved into XXI Corps from XV Corps.

In March the 13th Airborne Division was assigned to 7th Army, and the 10th Armored also was assigned, joining Brook's VI Corps.

The 14th Armored Division was switched to Patton's 3rd Army, just north of 7th Army, in late April. The 20th Armored Division was assigned to 7th Army at around the same time.

In addition to these divisions, the 7th Army and its Corps would have had what were called "army troops" or "corps troops". Many of these were "independent battalions", independent because they were not an organic permanent part of any larger formation. They were assigned to a corps or army, to be moved around to support the divisions as needed. There were a LOT of artillery battalions in this status, as well as engineers and signals, and so on. The Army also had a large number of independent tank battalions and tank destroyer battalions. Tank destroyers were tracked vehicles mounting a large gun (larger than US tanks), but were unarmored. They were intended to destroy enemy tanks, but the idea is obviously a poor one. Tank destroyers were better employed as self-propelled artillery. There was usually a tank battalion "attached" to each infantry division, sometimes more or less permanently. This gave tank support to the infantry and left the armored divisions free for exploitation of breakthroughs.

If youre interested in another type of unit or one of the independent battalions, you might want to search for an Order of Battle. This is a list of all units within a command at a certain time. So, say, search for "Order of Battle 7th Army Operation Dragoon" for instance.

The original date of May 1, 1944 was pushed back to allow for a much large force over a much larger area of the coast. The date tentatively set was June 4, although that was jeopardized by a disastrous attack during a rehearsal along the English coast on April 28.

There was another 2-day delay for bad weather on June 4. This would have made the crossing difficult and the landings impossible. Timing also had to allow for the tides, so that the beaches could have the proper water depth for the landing craft. Fortunately, the forecast was for a slight clearing on June 5, which gave the landing some element of surprise, as the stormy weather was followed abruptly by clear weather. The day-long assault by planes, ships, and landing craft was successfully completed on June 6, 1944.

The Soviet Union, Great Britain, China and France were the most significant of the Allies (excluding US), which is why these five countries now hold permanent seats on the UN Security Council.

They did not serve "combat" positions, however they did serve in dangerous roles as nurses and in other non combat military occupations. Most women in the military during WWII were used to free up jobs in the US, to allow for more Men to go overseas to fight. The largest role of women during WWII was leaving the home to take over jobs for men as they went off to war, by doing so, they ran factories, made bombs, equipment and kept our country running while the boys were off at war. The above answer applies to the United States only. Soviet women were
in actual "combat" in various capacities (pilots, snipers, etc.).

U.S. president Harry S Truman gave the order after much deliberation to drop the atom bomb on the Japanese industrial city of Hiroshima, in order to spare the United States the agony of losing over a million men (according to generals' estimates) in a land invasion of the island nation. The decision is still a controversial one, even as it may have been justified from a military point of view, since the United States remains the only country to use nuclear weapons against another, and of course the devastating collateral damage that ensued.

Because it affected the world and killed heaps

Mostly by Train and Ship. Later by truck and foot.

Both were large countries with large populations, and military structures in excess of what was needed for peacetime. Both had nuclear arsenals capable of destroying the world several times over. Great Britain, France, and the People's Republic of China also had nuclear weapons, but nothing to compare with the US and Soviet Union. China had the largest populaion of all, but lacked the ability to strike anywhere in the world.
