Who has the most airplanes US Navy or US Air Force?
I think that china has 3500 fighter jets and can hide alot more if they want to with a country as big as they are in every kind of way. Money is abundant and wages are cheep. The people know that if they are to advance beside the States they have to come out with unmistakable power and be smart to have more hidden so not to alarm countries. Lets face it they like to live and drive cars, eat cake, and make it with their women. So that could combat war nicely. But on the other hand we could look back in history and see not a bunch of Nazi like government people but a government dressed in nice suits inspecting factories and war machines looking all innocent like. Nice camouflage.
Western Front was a term used during the First and Second World Wars to describe the "contested armed frontier" between lands controlled by Germany to the East and the Allies to the West. A "contested armed frontier" during a war is called a "front". For most of both world wars there was also an Eastern Front. After the first few months of World War I (WWI) which started in August 1914, until the last few months during the summer of 1918, the Western Front consisted of a relatively static line of trench systems which stretched from the coast of the North Sea southwards to the Swiss border. To try to break through the opposing lines of trenches and barbed wire entanglements, both sides employed huge artillery bombardments followed by attacks by tens of thousands of soldiers. Battles could last for months and lead to casualties measured in hundreds of thousands for attacker and defender alike. After most of these attacks, only a short section of the front would have moved and only by a kilometer or two. The principal adversaries on the Western Front, who fielded armies of millions of men, were Germany to the East against a western alliance to the West consisting of: France and the United Kingdom with sizable contingents from the British Empire and British Dominions. The United States entered the war in 1917 and by the summer of 1918 had an army of around half a million men which rose to a million by the time the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. The Alpine Front between Italy which was a member of the western alliance and Austro-Hungarian Empire which was allied to Germany and the Ottoman Empire, is usually considered to be a separate front. The Western Front of World War II was generally restricted to the same geographic regions as during World War I. During the war the front moved much further, as far West as the English Channel and as far East as line which would become the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Although fighting took place in Norway and Italy these are not usually included as part of the Western Front but as separate campaigns. The Western Front had three distinct phases during the World War II. The first phase lasted from September 1939 until 1940. It started with the Phony War with the allies taking up positions which created a front similar to that held during most of World War I. The first phase lasted until the Germans attacked and won a stunningly fast victory in June 1940. The British had to withdraw the British Expeditionary Force to Britain with an evacuation through Dunkirk Operation Dynamo and France was forced to capitulate. The second phase from the late summer of 1940 until the early summer of 1944 consisted of a stalemate along the English Channel where neither side were strong enough to invade the other's territory with anything more than commando raids. The third and final phase started on June 6, 1944 with the invasion of Normandy on the D-Day of Operation Overlord, When an allied force consisting of American British and Canada Army Groups (with units from many other nations), successfully gained a beach head in Normandy in northern France. By the early autumn of 1944 the front was approximately where the World War I front had been. It ended on May 8, 1945 with the unconditional surrender of Germany. By that time western allied forces were on a front which stretched from the Baltic east of Denmark, southwards along the river Elbe, through the German/Czechoslovakia border into Austria and North Italy. This was a great delay in the war.

What powers made up the central powers at the beginning of World War 1?
At the beginning of world war one the central powers was called the triple alliance and consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.
What did Woodrow Wilson want from Treaty of Versailles?
1) Woodrow Wilson (the US president at the time) believed that Germany should be punished, but not so severely. He wanted a just (Fair) settlement that wouldn't leave Germany fealing powerless.
2) Woodrow also wanted to set up an international organisation called "The Legue Of Nations" which/who would settle the disputes fairly
3) The US didn't support these ideas. They soon became fed up with the involvement in the European problems that they had. The US became more of an ISOLATIONIST
In world war 1 the central powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. Italy was part of that alliance but because it switched sides before the name changed from the triple alliance to the central powers it is generally not considered a central power.
Before WW1, in 1882, Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany signed the Triple Alliance, mainly to isolate France from the rest of Europe. Then France, Russia and Great Britain signed the Triple Entente, to oppose the powerful German block. At the outbreak of WW1, the Entente all declared war on Germany and Austria, and they become the Alliance of Powers. Italy broke the treaty declaring itself neutral at the outbreak of the war, even joining the allied powers in 1915. That left Austria and Germany alone until they recived the aid from the Ottoman Empire in 1914 and Bulgaria in 1915, forming the Central powers, because all of them were between France and the Western front and Russia and the rest of the Eastern front.
What was the outcome of Russia's presence in world war 1?
German soldiers who were high in morale after defeating Russia flooded the Western Front. Had America not sent troops when they did, France, England and Italy would have been overwhelmed and defeated.
It basically is the formation of coalition or mobilisation of states to counter an in coming or allready existing domination by one or more states.states form alliances to counter a threat to security and survival of other states to bring about an equilibrum of power among states.
What important events happened in the late 1990s and 2000s in the U.S.?
Several things happened from 1990 to 2000. For example, George bush was elected to be the president, the dot com bubble burst in the stock market, the Persian Gulf War(Operation Desert Storm) was fought, and during Clinton's administration, the social welfare program rapidly increased.
Was Great Britain industrialized in World War 1?
"There is no denying the fact that the Industrial Revolution began in England sometime after the middle of the 18th century. England was the "First Industrial Nation." As one economic historian commented in the 1960s, it was England which first executed "the takeoff into self-sustained growth." And by 1850, England had become an economic titan". http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/lecture17a.html Dates of the WWI: Major conflict fought in Europe and around the world between July 28th 1914 and November 11th 1918. http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/worldwar1/p/ww1101.htm
What are forces that result in motion?
Motion does not require a force; if no force is acting on a body in motion, its motion will be constant. A force is required to change motion, and any unbalanced force acting on an object can do this.
Who declared war on Germany in World War 1?
France Supported, Russia because of a pact they have made and are very good importing/exporting partners.But, France said that France will only support Russia if Germany attacked first .However, Unaware of the Russian-french pact Germany attacked.
Did the US remain neutral in the great war and not get involved?
Throughout most of the many wars England has had with France the U.S.A was a British Colony, the only time before WW1 that Britain, France and the U.S.A were involved in conflict was during the battle for independence the French supplied the U.S with money supplies and men with which to fight the British.
Apart from this the U.S.A has had nothing to do with any war between Britain and France
What are some countries made up the allied forces?

When did the allied forces invade Germany to help end the war?
Major Allies:Poland - September 1, 1939; British Commonwealth and France - September 3, 1939(with Germans, from December 8, 1941 - with Japan); Soviet Union - June 22, 1941(august 9, 1945 - with Japan), United States - December 8, 1941(Japan), December 11, 1941(Germany).
Does centripetal mean balanced or unbalanced?
Velocity is continually changing direction if not speed. This means an orbiting object is accelerating and the direction of acceleration is toward the center. In fact, centripetal means "center seeking."
A person at rest on the surface of the Earth is being acted upon by a centripetal force (toward the center of the Earth, that is, down) which is exactly equal and opposite to the spring force of the Earth's matter pushing up. Thus, in this case, the centripetal force is balanced.
The previous answer (below) is generally incorrect.
No,because when a body revolves round an orbit,its CENTRIPETAL force is balanced by the WEIGHT of the body!thank you!!How did the alliances help cause world war1?
After Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by a Serbian national, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The alliance countries of each took sides and WWI began. The triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. The Triple Entente consisted of England, France, and Russia. Italy left the Triple Alliance in 1915 and joined the other side. Russia bowed out to fight the Russian Revolution. The USA joined with the Triple Entente to create the Allied Forces. Germany and Austria-Hungary joined with Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire to create the Central Powers.
Who won the battle of fedricksburg?
The Battle of Fredericksburg was a lop-side Confederate victory by the Army of Northern Virginia under command of general Robert E. Lee.
What countries used propaganda posters?
Propaganda can serve to rally people behind a cause, but often at the cost of exaggerating, misrepresenting, or even lying about the issues in order to gain that support. While the issue of propaganda often is discussed in the context of militarism, war and war-mongering, it is around us in all aspects of life. At times of war, or build up for war, messages of extremities and hate, combined with emotions of honor and righteousness interplay to provide powerful propaganda for a cause.
Why did japan switch sides during World War 1?
Japan sided with the Entente powers in WWI because it was a great opportunity to pick off Germany's colonies in the Pacific free of charge. The Japanese picked up all of Germany's Pacific holdings at the Versailles Peace Conference, including the Marshall Islands, the Mariana Islands, and the Caroline Islands. The Marshalls and Marianas were to cost the US much blood in WWII, wresting them from the Japanese. These came to Japan as "mandated" territories under the League of Nations and were not supposed to be militarized, but Japan spent twenty years burrowing tunnels and pillboxes into these coral islands.
In WWII the Japanese sided with the axis because Germany was going to fight Japan's old rival, the Russians, who have a Pacific Coast. The Japanese and Russians had fought a war in 1905, and the Japanese hoped the Germans would keep the Russians too busy to interfere with Japanese conquests in Asia. (Germany hoped Japan might kick the Russians around again, like they did in 1905). Additionally the British and French had colonies in Asia, and a military presence there, and looked like they would be fighting Germany again. My enemy's enemy is my friend. After Germany overran France and installed the collaborationsist Vicky regime as the government of France, the Vichy government "invited" the Japanese to take over French Indochina, which included Vietnam. The Japanese got much more out of the alliance than the Germans and Italians did. 85% of US war effort went to Europe until Germany was defeated, meaning the war against Japan was run on a shoestring for most of the time.
How did things change as a result of World War I?
Emancipation Proclamation ensured that all African-American slaves were freed. White governments set up segregation which separated whites from blacks.

When did Britain pay America back for their help in World War 1?
Actually, it lwas the other way round. Britain recently paid back the war loans from the USA in December 2006
What was unique about the Western Front?
Life in the trenches was pure misery. The trenches swarmed with rats and the mud was always present, which made the people get sick with Trechfoot, a disease that killed a lot of soldiers and some of them even had to have their feet cutter off. Fresh food was nonexistent and Sleep was nearly impossible.
