WW2 Allied Powers

They divided Berlin into 4 zones not Germany, Germany was divided into east and west Germany simply due to the hostility of the USSR and western countries keen to keep eastern Europe non communist and vice versa for the USSR. Berlin being in the USSR's half was divided into 4 zone as being the capital it was a important economic and political symbol for Germany, it would be unfair to give it all to one country. Therefore it was divided into 4 zones, among the four "super powers": France, Britain, America and the USSR

At the conclusion of World War II, the Allies divided Berlin into occupation zones for several reasons. One reason was to include the major powers of the European Theater in the occupational duties as a kind of honor or point of prestige; another was to distribute administrative responsibilities and burdens among the major powers.

Germany fought in northern Italy until April of 1945, but in central and southern Italy they were used as a base for ops in northern Italy. Southern France and the U.S. used their resources for the end of the war.

Before the United States officially entered the war at the end of 1941, then president Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the Allies by providing them with supplies through the Lend Lease Act, which started in 1941 and played a pivotal role in the eventual success of the Allies in World War II.

The United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Greece and a few others were on the Allies. They were all against Germany aka Nazi or The Axis. Those are the main people who fought in the Invasion of Normandy.

Answer

The technology of aircraft design made great changes during WW1. When the war began, many aircraft were designed similar to the Wright Brothers (even though the Wright Bros fought to keep their design a secret by use of patents, the foreign aircraft designers used their designs and improved on them.) Some of the features of the early design included:

A- Elevator controls in front of the wings

B- Pusher engines mounted in rear of the pilot

C- Warped wing flight controls

D- Heavy engines that produced very little horsepower, usually 2 or 4 cycliners

E- Guns were mounted in rear and operated by separate gunner/observer

As the war progressed, aircraft design improved the performance and maneuverabilty of the aircraft. Even though the Rotary Engines became a popular design that produced good thrust-to-weight, it eventually became out-dated. The Rotary Engine would turn with the propellor on a fixed shaft. (A Radial Engine is a fixed engine with its cyclinders mounted around the propellor shaft---it doesn't rotate.) With the improvement of engine technology, the typical engine became the water-cooled, straight-line,multi-cylinder engine. New engines included 12-cylinder engines or V-8 engines that were much lighter and produced more horsepower.

The elevator controls moved to the rear and the engines moved to the front. Eventually the armament was mounted on the fuselage so the pilot would fly the aircraft at his intended target. The common flight controls were hinged control surfaces.

All of these changes became the norm for the post-war aircraft.

America first joined the Brits. Then, Germany attacked Russia. The Americans gave aid to the Russians to help defeat Germany. America either sent a ton of tanks to Russia or helped them build a ton of tanks. I can't remember exactly which way that worked. I think America helped Russia build tanks by improving their designs.

Portugal is the England's oldest ally...both countries have an alliance which is still in force

From Stalin, whose troops occupied most of Eastern Europe, Truman demanded that free elections be held in those countries. Unfortunately, the Soviets controlled the governments and ensured that communist puppet parties gained power, leading to the Warsaw Pact and Russian hegemony.

The Marshall Plan was presented in a meeting to the United Nations and Europe. The Marshall Plan provided assistance and loans to the desperate European nations.

The United States' strongest ally is Israel.

During WW2, Great Britain, France and Russia were attacked by the enemy, mainly Germany and Italy. They formed an alliance in order to win the war by fighting back together. It can be also said, that they formed an alliance for more power.

Winston Churchill

The Soviet Union did not exist until after the First World War.

During the First World War, the Russian Empire fought with the Allies. However, it effectively withdrew from the war about the same time the USA entered the war.

Compared to so many Wars before and after, WW2 was not particularly long. Morevoer, as it pertains to the war in Europe, perhaps because of all the movies and stories glorifying it, many modern Americans don't appreciate how short much of the actual conflict really was. D Day on Normandy beach in France really was when the allied forces started an active ground combat in Europe. Certianly, there were air and naval battles for years before, but the point of the invasion force was that is what got the allies their military foothold. The campaign through Europe was certainly fierce but Germany fell only about 9 months after D - Day. The Pacific theatre was vicious a vicious combat for longer, really starting with or shortly after Pearl Harbor and ending with VJ day which was after V day in Europe...albeit again compared to many conflicts, not a super long time.

The Islands of Makin and Tarawa were the objectives of the V- th Amphibious Corps consisting of the Army's 27th Infantry Division and the 2nd Marine Division and was code named Galvanic. Makin was the Army's target and it was defended by about 300 Japanese and 500 Korean laborers. Tarawa's 4,800 defenders were the Marine's objective, and the island was taken with 3,301 casualties including 1,000 killed. There were Japanese and Korean labor survivors. Makin had cost the 27th Infantry 66 killed and 152 wounded and 395 of Makin's defenders were killed. The biggest American tragedy of the Gilbert Islands campaign was the loss of the Liscome Bay, an escort carrier and the 642 sailors who went down with the ship. This was a US victory that the Corps commander said had "no particular strategic importance".

The meeting of Allied leaders in July of 1945 was called the Potsdam Conference. This meeting took place in Potsdam, Germany from July until August.

During World War 2 Ireland was neutral. In a strict legal sense Ireland was then still a dominion of the British Empire. However, relations between Ireland and Britain had been strained for many years. Irish citizens could serve in the British armed forces and about 38,554 did see serve.
