US in WW2

Not really very thick at all. Some of the British carriers had armored decks, but their were the only ones. US carrier decks were sheet steel welded into place and covered over with heavy planking. The ship carried extra planking so damaged areas could be repaired at sea by the crew. This thin skin meant that even regular high explosive bombs could smash through the flight deck on impact and then explode as they came into the hanger deck space below. This caused the loss of several US carriers, as explosions from bombs penetrating into the hanger deck could ignite gasoline vapors from refueling planes, or detonate ordnance being loaded onto planes, such as bombs or torpedoes. These powerful secondary explosions could be ship killers. The Japanese also lost carriers to this type of hit, all those sunk at Midway, for instance. Battleships had armored decks. The weather deck was thick enough to start the fuse of an armor piercing shell, but the next deck below the weather deck was the really thick one, against which the plunging armor piercing shells were to detonate, before they could penetrate into the ships vitals and do fatal damage.

Not good. There were 10 interment camps located in 7 states. Depending on the location within that state would depend on how hot it got in the summer or how cold it got in the winter. Over 120,000 Japanese of American descent were interred in these camps. They were housed in tar paper covered wooden framed barracks with no modern plumbing or cooking facilities, they were heated with pot bellied stoves. Latrines were used for toilets (try using one of those on a cold winter day). Mess halls were where they ate. The one near Delta, Utah (Topaz, opened Sept., 1942) housed 8,000 internees (overcrowding). It had extreme heat of 100's plus in summer and below freezing temperature in the winter. The camps were closed after the war and the last one closed in 1946.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was the immediate reason for the U.S. entering the war. President Roosevelt declared war on Japan and the U.S. Congress ratified that decision and the U.S. officially entered the war. This country was helping the Allies economically before it officially entered the war on the side of the Allies.

General of the American army, Douglas MacArthur, departed from Japan on April, 1951.

They joined the war. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they committed an act of war. The US had no other option but to declare war on Japan, and in so doing declare war on Japan's allies, essentially Germany, and Italy. Joining the war, the US injected massive numbers of troops, equipment, and ordnance, as well as food and supplies for Britain and the other Allied Power Nations. Most importantly, the US made available massive industrial and production capabilities.

No, while Operation Overlord (the Allied landings at Normandy) is the largest amphibious invasion in history with over 156,000 invading troops taking part in the landing, Operation Barbarossa (the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941) is the largest overall invasion in history, involving 4,500,000 troops and nearly resulting in the captures of Moscow and Leningrad.

The Battle of Stalingrad, occurred from August 1942 until February 1943 in the city of modern day Volgograd, Russia. The battle occurred between German forces of the Wehrmacht and Soviet Union forces. The battle was the first significant defeat of German forces in the Soviet Union since their invasion in June 1941.

The alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan

In September 1949, the first Russian bomb created a changed situation.

At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

Six reasons why the United States entered World War Two:

1. Pearl Harbor

2. Germany and Italy declared war on the USA

3. USA thinks of itself as the protector of freedom and democracy

4. The USA was already sending volunteer pilots to China

5. The USA had already sold 50 destroyers to Britain

6.German U-boats had been sinking US merchant ships

Why not two more:

7. The USA had been selling war materials to Britain, the USSR, and most the other Allies under the Lend Lease act

8. Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to join the war

The Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb, code-named "Little Boy", to be used in war, by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the attack on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, just before the end of World War II.

yes, it is allowed

You don't meed any subjects im particular, you just need to be passing what classes you do have.

Life for immigrants was better because they found jobs but torture because they had to stay in a little house with like 7 people in there and there was diseases that were spreading and rodents would get in to the houses. Also the houses had no indoor plumbing so if they wanted water they had to get it in either the hallway or they had to find a place were they had water.

This means the BIG THREE AUTO MAKERS. Ford, GMC, Chrysler. The are the largest 3 car makers in the country. They met with congress to discuss their economic future. They were all struggling financially do to the economy.

As long as the tank can bring its protected firepower, and with the development of powerful and reliable automotive systems, mobility and agility as well as its phsycological shock to the battlefield, then there will be a place for it.

Since the first use of tanks, and development of anti-tank weapons, certain groups have been crying that the end is nigh, usually for financial savings) yet they are still here.

Perhaps armour should move into the third dimension by the development of better armoured (stealth) and armed helicopters.

By 1776 a typical infantry regiment had a regimental staff and eight companies. Along with three field officers and six staff officers, the regimental staff included four staff NCOs: a sergeant major, a quartermaster sergeant, and two lead musicians (a drum major and a fife major).

Nobody really knows all the names of the people who survived. There were too many death names, and not so many survived names but there were still too many to remember.

The name of the pilot who flew the first plane to drop an atomic bomb is Colonel Paul Tibbets. He was the pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb.
