Why was Australia so loyal to Britain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At Federation in 1901, the vast majority of people living in Australia were either born somewhere in the United Kingdom or had parents or grandparents born there. At that time, many Australians might have referred to Britain as "home".

As late as the 1950's, many Australians referred to England as "Mother England", amongst other things.

Britain was also Australia's largest trading partner for many years up to the 1960's.

Things cooled off a little during World War 2 when Britain refused to allow Australian troops to return to Australia to defend the country against the expected Japanese invasion.

What important strategy was used by the American forces in the Pacific?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Island hopping, also called leapfrogging, was an important military strategy in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The strategy was to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan

What is the length of an airport runway?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This varies widely from airport to airport.

The runways at your typical international airport are 10,000 to 12,000 feet long, but may be as short as 7,000 feet. 10,000 feet seems to be a pretty standard size.

The runways at your local municipal airport can range from 2,000 to 7,000 feet long, but in extreme cases may be as short as 1,200 feet! 3,000 and 5,000 feet are common lengths.

There is a runway at Edwards Air force base, where they used to land the Space Shuttle, that is 15,000 feet long.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have interviewed multiple veterans. The answer I get to this question is always Tommy Prince. Prince is given the honour of being the most decorated First Nations soldier but he is also the most decorated Canadian soldier. I do not have documents to prove this only the testimony of multiple veterans who served in the military during the same years as Tommy Prince has.

Why did Romania switch sides to Britain in World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In WW2, Romania tried to be a bit... on its own side. Romania was a monarchy, with a teenager king of German origin. A small rich country, full of oil and natural resources, a valuable stop for the German army marching on its way to Soviet Union. When the war started, USSR was neutral and all the countries around Romania had a Nazi/fascist regime and territorial claims. So, what Romania tried, being isolated, was to protect its borders. It played a neutral game, with a Pro Germany flavour, in order to get in peace with the German troops. In the meanwhile it tried to help - Polish heritage artifacts were saved, via Romania and Jews have been less hunted than in other places. Many gypsies have been saved from the Death trains. On 23rd of August 1944, Romania "turned the guns" against Germans and followed the Red Army on its way to Berlin. After war, Romania was treated like a "enemy" country, it lost territory and its Heritage (fine art, gold, historical artifact's, etc) and they entered in a dark age.

Why did the United States need a strategy for a two-front war during World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because it is a rare situation when adquate troops and armament are available to confront such a situation. To waste forces in a piecemeal manner is a certain way to insure defeat. The concentration of forces is a military maxim that Custer failed to comprehend. Chairman Mao was a master at this, "when they attack, withdraw, when they halt attack". In WWII, the Allies established the Germany first policy. The Pacific was not just a defense, it was a strategic defense. MacArthur and Nimitz didn't always agree on the correct plans and policies for the Pacific War in which they held co-equal command, but they both knew an accepted that the war in Europe had priority.

What happened after the allies attacked Sicily?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After Sicily was attacked by the Allies, it was obvious that Italy was going to be next. By then, much of the Italian Army was either killed or taken prisoner, and an Allied invasion could not be repulsed. Therefore, Mussolini was overthrown and Italy entered into negotiations for surrender. The German Army quickly moved to occupy Italy and prepare for the forthcoming Allied invasion.
