WW2 Allied Powers

Because germany had been defeated in war (twice). The occupation was to insure that Germany would not attempt to regain the ability to make war, and to help preserve the lives of the residents of Germany. The nation had been badly damaged by the war, leaving people without shelter, warmth, food, clothing, or medical care.

I heve not long finished reading 'The Last Escape' by John Nichol & Tony Rennel: fascinating & illuminating story of the Allied Pow in Germany. It does throw some light on the Russian pow situation, which is quite grim. And shows the beginnings of the Cold War. The differences between that situation and that of the Soviet regime & the Japanese treatment of Pow is however quite stark. Therefore I heartily recommend reading this book, but the answer to the question, I really do not know......

It was about 31 000

The attack on Pearl Harbor left no doubt it was time to step up to the plate and fight Japan and her ally Germany. They were incensed about the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

At the end of the war when they found the concentration camps many Americans wished they had gone against Hitler much sooner.

He demilitarized the Rhineland,

united with Austria,

increased his army,

expanded his country and began to take more land (eg. Sudetenland)

They came into Normandy on the beaches of France and then worked their way up into the rest of Europe. This is what is called "D Day." A good example of what happened is the HBO series Saving Private Ryan.

The USA, together with Britain, France and Russia formed the Allies. Their enemies were the Axis Powers, consisting of Germany (including Austria), Italy, and Japan.

Axis powers also had Romania , Bulgaria along with nationals from many other countries like the Dutch and Belgians who fought against communist forces

the beach was very hard to take because the barriers were not cleared and there was not any of the tanks there. The German army also had the beach covered with heavy machine guns.

Well, in 1945 Hitler shot himself, so he kind of defeated himself.

Roosevelt believed, probably correctly, that the Germans would continue the war whether or not Japan was able to continue fighting and furthermore, probably erroneously, that the Japanese were likely to capitulate as soon as the Germans surrendered. Therefore, a victory in Europe might well kill two birds with one stone, saving much money and many lives.

Many public (including the London underground) and private (anderson) bomb shelters. Complex network of early warning systems (radar) to give people time to get into shelter. Barrage balloons prevent low level attacks, anti aircraft batteries, and intercept fighter squadrons to break up the bomber formations. Preemptive raids on enemy airfield when possible.

The Japanese were on the defensive and dug in deeply on those islands waiting for the Americans to arrive. After the first few battles, they would let U.S. forces onto the island without resistance and then start firing on the troops. Japanese forces also refused to surrender so for them it was victory, or death and they fought hard for every square inch of those islands. In the mind of the Japanese they were fighting for their honor. All of those factors produced a hard fighting enemy that gave the U.S. troops a difficult foe to defeat. As a result, the Americans took heavy losses on several of the islands. Those losses and knowledge of the mindset of the Japanese soldier was part of the rationale to use atomic weapons on Japan to end the war in the Pacific theater. An invasion of mainland Japan would have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives which would have not been popular for a war weary United States whose victory in Europe had already been secured.

The allies bombed Germany a lot. Dresden (a demilitarized city and one of the most beautiful European medieval cities) was completely destroyed in February of 1945 by allied fire bombing.

Stalin wanted the Allies to open a second front which would have relieved the pressure on the Russian Front by causing the Germans to divide their military assets .

The figure generally given is 5 million, of whom about 3 million were Jews. It has become customary to list the dead in the areas annexed by the USSR in 1939 with the Ukrainian and Belorussian dead. If one takes the territory of Poland on the eve of World War 2, the figure would be higher. Joncey

The Filipinos fought with the Americans, but they lost the war in the Philippine's, So that makes them on the axis side.

They had landed directly on enemy controlled beaches about 200 miles southeast from where the Germans were expecting them. -Even after the invasion started, the German high Command were convinced it would happen at Calais.

Firstly,before the attack of Pearl Harbour, US did help its allies by condemning the Japanese act of taking lands in China and Manchuria illegally and ask the troops the leave.

Secondly, US did made a trade embargo on Japan things like rubber, iron and oil etc that were necessary for war because the Japanese still did not withdrew the troops in the 2 areas mentioned above.(Manchuria & China)

yes, The use of tank warfare reduced the use of trench warfare
