US in WW2

The German Blitz bombing in England went from 7 September 1940 and 10 May 1941 for 247 Nights; of which poor London had 76 consecutive nights of bombing. Other cities did not get that many consecutive nights of bombings.

The distance from Maui to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii is 112 miles. This is equal to 180. 2 kilometers or 97. 33 nautical miles.

American battleships were bombed at Pearl Harbor. The main target for the Japanese forces were the American aircraft carriers but luckly for the Americans the aircraft carriers were out doing training so Japanese forces hit the battleships, airplanes landed at the airbase in Pearl Harbor. Five battleships were sunk, three light cruisers, three destroyers, three smaller vessels, 188 aircrafts were destoried. 2,335 servicemen were killed, 68 civilians were killed, 1,178 were wounded. asalman88

During WW 2 the efforts of production were concentrated mainly on goods that would directly benefit the military. These include of weapons, clothes, and other miscellaneous goods used in the war. Increasing the production of these types of goods lowers the overall production of consumer goods such as foods, clothes, cars, etc. This can be represented in something called the Production Possibilities Curve. This is a graph that depicts the amount of production of both military and consumer goods and how both are inversely related; meaning that if military production goes up then consumer production goes down and vise versa. This leads us into the rationing the US had to go through in order for this to happen. Many had to do without things they would normally have bought such as underwear and tires. Now because of the increased demand for people to work in these factories, jobs were created and more money started to circulate. This combined with the limited spending caused by the rationing resulted in a rise of general wealth throughout the population. Now after the war was over these factories that had been working like crazy to mass produce military goods found themselves needing to produce consumer goods instead. So they started to produce tons of consumer goods which promoted heavy spending by the general population. This combined with a sort of technological boom created a huge increase in our economic growth as a country.

this is the short answer, but because of rising tensions due to cold war escalation, new countries either had to pick capitalism or communism (allegiance to NATO (US)or the Warsaw Pact (USSR))

Aluminum.

The current DOD (Dept of Defense) dog tag spec calls for stainless steel military dog tags. Stainless steel is durable and will not corrode.

US Infantrymen carried either a rifle (M-14 in the beginning, an M-16 later in the war), or a machingun (M-60, belt fed), or an M-79 grenade launcher (later the M-203 over an under). If the grunt was a radio operator (RTO-Radio Telephone Operator) he also carried a radio ON HIS BACK. Medics, (whom may or may not have been authorized to carry arms, usually carried an M-16 or a .45 pistol). Straight leg infantry (those that were NOT designated Mechanized or Airmobile or Airborne) were issued back packs (RUCK sacks) with round edged aluminum frames. Airmobile and Airborne grunts could be issued those packs too. Mechanized Infantrymen were not issued RUCK sacks nor bayonets, if they were, they were turned in later in the war. All straight leg grunts carried an average of about 6 (1 qt) green plastic canteens attached to their rucks. Or the newly issued 2 qt canteens, which were square shaped. Straight leggers also carried 3 to 6 or more hand grenades and a bayonet. Plus 100 or 200 rounds of machingun ammo, and two to four bandoliers of M-16 ammo (seven M-16 magazine pockets to the bandolier, each magazine normally loaded with only 18 rounds of 5.56mm; capacity was 20 rounds, but to preserve the magazine's spring it was compressed with only18 rounds). All of these items, added to his steel helmet, gave him a miserable extra 30, 40 or more pounds to carry in the extreme humidity, thru knee deep mud, and up jungle strewn hill tops. 2 Frag grenades - 2 lb., 2 Smoke grenades - 3 lb., 1 claymore mine - 3.5 lb., Helmet - 5 lb., boots - 2 lb., Poncho and liner 3 lb., entrenching shovel - 5 lb., gas mask 2.5 lb, M16 ammo - 14 lb, 200 hundred M60 ammo in can - 13 lb, rifle - 7.5 lb., 3-4 days C rations 6 lb., 1 1/2 gal. water - 12 lb adds up to 78.5 pounds. additionally a fire team shared equipment to include a full sized shovel, a full sized pick, starlight scope, LAW and radio batteries for about another 7 lbs. The 173rd Airborne Brigade humped that load 7 days a week. The 173rd did not wear flak jackets because of the heat and heavy load. I believe most if not all light infantry units carried the same load in high heat and humidity

It scared the Military commanders. No intelligence assesment had considered that Germany had any of the forces available at this late stage in the war to launch a counter offensive. When it began, the Allies were simply taking a breather until their supply lines had an opportunity to advance and consolidate, the top brass really thought that the war was over.

On paper, 12 grunts (infantrymen) to a squad. In actual combat, the numbered almost always varied.

In response to the japanese attack on pearl harbour which cost usa hundreds of lives and ships. The 2 cities are bombed on aug 8 , 1942. Truman chose the bombs rather than risk millions of American lives in an invasion of the Japanese mainland, following the extremely high causalities on Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Truman was president all of 1950-51 and 52.

During this time, North Korea invaded South Korea. AUN force, mostly Amercan, attempted to defend South Korea and regain lost ground. China entered the war on the side of North Korea. Truman replaced MacArthur, the chief of US military operations and the war dragged on, hurting the Democrats in the 1952 election.

In 1952, Truman ordered federal seizure of steel mills whose workers were threatening to strike. After two months the supreme courts ruled that this seizure was unconstitutional and negated the order.

After Truman left office in January, 1953, he retired to his home in Independence, Mo but stayed active in the Democratic party and campaigned for Democratic candidates. In 1954 he almost died from a drug reaction following emergency gall bladder surgery.

It think it was so that when the used phones or walkie talkies and they said im in Arizona that only the people at the base would know they were talking about the boats and not the state so if other countries or spies or something were listening that they would think they were in the state.. I think im not sure

i don't know for sure, but they weren't really allies in ww2, you see, the soviet union became friends with Germany so that they could split Poland, but, what both parties did not know was that they were both using each other, and socialism and the American way, are very different, and always, to superpowers always become rivals

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was CINCPAC (Commander in Chief Pacific) from just after the Pearl Harbor attack, throughout the rest of the war. Nimitz wore two hats - he was the head of the US Navy in the Pacific, and, he was a Theater Commander. The Pacific was divided into two Theaters of Operations. The Central Pacific theater, and all Allied personnel in it, were under Nimitz. Army General Douglas MacArthur commanded the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations, and all Allied personnel there.

From time to time Nimitz had army troops under his command, in his role as Theater Commander.

Similarly, a few times MacArthur had Marines (which are a part of the US Navy) and always had some naval forces under his control.

December 7, 1941

The estimated total of over 10,000 casualties of Allied troops is quoted in Normandy landing operation. The U.S. Army Center of Military History cites a total casualty figure for U.S. forces at 6,036. The Heritage Foundation claims 4,900 US troops as dead on D-day. About 3,000 British and Canadian troops have been quoted as dead .
