WW2 Allied Powers

Britain and France were given most of Germany's territories after the war. France regained Alsace and Lorraine, and Russia gained Prussia.

Only Normandy, France. But there were five beaches. Each Country had there own. Omaha, Utah (American) Gold (mixed) Juno, and Sword (British)

Note to the person who wrote this: Juno was for Canada, & Gold was strictly a mix Of British craft & many smaller units of Icelandic, Scottish, & Irish craft

Poland is geographically distant from France and Britain. At least in terms of the technology of 1930s. However, viewed through the geopolitical situation of the time, the alliance made perfect sense to contain Soviet (communist) expansion into Wester Europe.

Further, when the war actually started, Poland was attacked on two fronts.

The Eastern front was where Soviet Union attacked. The Western, where the Germans struck. While France and Britain could conceivably assist Poland in an armed struggle against one of those powers, against two, the two allies were frozen into inaction. Remembering the lessons of WW1, with rapid advance of Germans through Belgium into France, France decided to stay their ground rather than strike Germany. Post war analysis shows that had France gone on the offensive, it would likely stop in Berlin, assuming good supply lines as Germany had practically no troops on the Western border at the time, commiting all to 'Operation Barbarossa'.

At the time, Soviet Union, a communist nation with an agenda of global conquest was a very real threat. Poland was an economic superpower industralising rapidly, with good technology research and development. Further, they were ideologically right leaning. In the 1920s, Soviet Union actually invaded Poland and it was only through desperate military defence that the Soviet Army was stopped mere kilometers from the Poland's capital Warsaw.

It was in the interest of Poland to seek alliance with France and Britain for that reason. The other two allies were interested in seeking to stop Communist progress through Western Europe.

The Germans were not considered a serious threat at the time of the treaty. Germany was weak. Allegedly stripped of its military capital after WW1 loss to the allies. They had also their own Communist problems, culminating in a brief and bloody armed struggle in central Germany.

During the English Civil War (1642-1651), the primary allies for the Royalists (Cavaliers) included supporters from the nobility, the Anglican Church, and those loyal to King Charles I. On the opposing side, the Parliamentarians (Roundheads) were allied with various factions, including the New Model Army, Puritans, and regional supporters who sought to limit the monarchy's power. Internationally, the Royalists received some support from France and Ireland, while the Parliamentarians garnered sympathy from the Scottish Covenanters.

The Allies did not "control" countries like the Axis did. The Axis occupied countries because their goal was to control the government. The Allies liberated countries, meaning they set them free from Axis rule and back into their own control. When the Allies "lost" land, it meant that they were defending another country and the Germans took that country over.

When, for example, the USSR "lost" land, it just means the Germans pushed them back.

The 3 main members of the allied powers in world war 1 were Great Britan, the U.S., and I belive Russia, (although they backed out during the Bulshivick Revolution which started the USSR.) They were fighting the Axis Powers, which mainly consisted of Germany and Austrai - Hungry

The Allies , along with Britain , won the Second World War .

The Poles, New Zealanders, Canadians, Americans, Ghurkas, French and Australians fought against the Nazi Germans at Monte Cassino. After a month of brutal fighting, The Polish Second Corps under General Wladyslaw Anders conquered the monastery located on the top of the Monte Cassino on May 18, 1944. The Polish casualties included 924 dead, 345 missing, and 2,930 injured. The total allied casualties were approximately 55,000. The battle of Monte Cassion is considered to be among the bloodiest battles of WWII, in addition to the battle of Stalingrad, The Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the battle of Kursk and the Normandy Landing.

Spain was neutral in WW1

In a school building (famously described as a little red schoolhouse) that Eisenhower was using as his headquarters in Reims, France at 2:41 in the morning. Michael Montagne The May 7th surrender document was signed in a Rheims school where the S.H.A.E.F. (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces) was headquartered ... This was General Eisenhower's headquarters at the time. vcs

The Allied countries included Great Britain, Russia, and the US, as well as Commonwealth forces (Canada, Australia, New Zealand), the Free Forces of France, Belgium, and Poland, and non-occupied China in the Pacific theater. In 1943, Italy was attacked and switched to the Allied side.

Asians who were targeted were mostly POW or the rare immigrants.

Asians generally weren't a problem during the Holocaust, it targeted Jews and Gypsies, but WW2 is separate from the Holocaust and people don't realize it. the US got involved in WW2 because of the Holocaust, which was Hitler's burning of Jews to get rid of the 'unclean' people. Then Japan attacked Pearl Harbor which got us involved in the war. The Holocaust is only a factor that was a part of WW2, but wasn't the only reason why we were at war with Germany and Japan.

Yalta is a Russian resort town. The United States and Great Britain saw the war in Europe was drawing to a close and these Western countries could see a protracted war with Japan. After Germany surrendered Russia was likely to end their involvement. These Western countries saw a major strategic advantage to Soviet participation in the Pacific theater, so they were likely to be courting the USSR and when Stalin insisted they meet in Crimea they agreed.

Yes: The Torch landings were opposed by the French to varying degrees of belligerance. I accept the British actions at Oran, Dakar & elsewhere gave the French cause for concern. But it must have been obvious, and it wasn't, that the US Forces, as well as the British indeed, were going, eventually, free France from Nazi occupation. As an English man I cannot understand the position of the French in North Africa in WW2. For the French to be defiant in their stance against Allies I find reprehensible in the extreme.

The Lend-Lease program was a note-worthy departure from neutrality because then US was openly supporting a known enemy of Germany and the Lend-Lease program later led to even more support to England and it's war with Nazi Germany .

The u.s tried to stay neutral in the conflicts betweeb France and Britain, but it was impossible to avoid getting involved. French and British ships also interfered with American trade across the Atlantic.

The flame thrower was considered a new weapons, though it can trace its roots to ancient Greece. The V-2 Rockets were new, but rockets have been used for centuries prior to that, just nothing on that large a scale. The Bazooka was new, but it was based on rockets and mortars. The Atomic Bomb was the biggest change and its development dominated world history for the next 50 years.

Negligible. Austrians were for the most part wanting to be a part of Germany, and the Austrian resistance to the Nazi regime was primarily one and the same with the German resistance -- they were not fighting for independence, but for a regime change.

Yes, both were in World War 2. They were allies in the Axis Force for a short time. Germany and Italy were their allies too but once Germany attacked the Soviet Union they gave up their alliance with Italy, Japan and Germany. The Japanese were responsible for attacking Pearl Harbor on 12-7-41. This caused the US to go to war with Japan and Germany. See related links below.

Franklin Roosevelt died before WWII was over. When he got elected as president for the 4th time serving over 10 yrs in office he died. Then his Vice president took over, after a while Japan surrendered and WWII was over.
