I live in Germany is "Je vis en Allemagne" or "j'habite en Allemagne" in French.

North Africa was a "launch pad" into southern Europe.

For the invasion of Italy the Allies needed to dominate the Mediteranean. To do so they needed to have control of the north African coast.

During WWII, the United States formed a alliance along with 3 other countries, this alliance was know as the "big four". Out of the 3 other countries, the closest allie is Great Britain. Great Britain was also a allie of the United States during WWI.

the leader of Russia.

Allies:

USA: Franklin Roosevelt

Great Britain: Winston Churchill

Free France/ Government in exile: Charles de Gualle

USSR/ Soviet Union: Josef Stalin

Axis:

Germany: Adolf Hitler

Japan: Emperor Hirohito, but Prime Minister Tojo had the real power

Italy: Benito Mussolini

Belgium probably use to be our allies because long time ago the Americans were basically fighting against everybody who were not on their side because they were fighting over North America. That was during the civil war. I'm not a 100% positive.

Culturally similar, tensions existed between the US and the UK from the Revolution through the end of the Civil War. WWI and WWII were the building blocks of the trans-atlantic alliance.

The US and UK are allies through mutual national interests. The UK needs US military support to pursue its interests and the US needs British bases throughout the world to project its power. Many key US bases are actually on British territory. Also, if the US wants to project its power somewhere, its politically useful to have even a token British presence on the gunline and at the UN Security Council. Also, since its usually illegal for either country to spy on its own citizens, its handy having a friendly and trustworthy power to do it for you and vice versa.

The US were helping Britain without getting personally involved - lease lend being one example of helping on the quiet. Then the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour and directly brought America into the war. America declared war on Japan, and then Germany declared war on America (as part of a treaty between Germany and Japan). It was the industrial might, and the mass numbers of American troops available that eventually swung the war into the Allies favour.

The Allies invaded the Northern African countries first and booted Germany out of Africa. Next they went after Italy.

Yes, many allied soldiers died in an attempt to turn back the Japanese attempt to take over the Pacific, but the outcome was inevitable.

After Germany invaded Poland the Allied forces were ;

Poland,Australia, France,India, New Zealand, Great Britain, South Africa, Canada,Denmark, Norway

The Triple Entente, or Allied Powers, declared war on the Ottoman Empire on November 4.1914.

This gives you an idea of which nations allied with another in World War 2.

In world war 1 the central powers (which you called the axis powers) were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. The allies where The British empire, France, Russia and later the United states. Later, though, Italy switched from the Central Powers do the Ally Powers.

The sherman was mass produced and dependable. it was designed so that the average joe could quickly pick it up and fight with it. The main gun was underpowered for long range engagements. The sherman could manuever more easily thru wooded terrain than its German counter part and was also easier to maintain and when hit could be repaired quickly and put back in the fight. The sherman definitely relied on combined arms, to include artillary and air support to counter the German advantages in armour.

The panther was a very capable tank for the time with a high velocity main gun and had decent frontal and side armour. The only disadvantage that i know of from reading the accounts of German tankers, was the sheer numbers of shermans, as well as allied fighters. mechanically the panther proved to be reliable, once the inital bugs were worked out. i have also read accounts that the Germans had rude night vision sights installed in some of there later produced tanks. This was a definite tactical advantage, that any soldier would desire.

America joined the war when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor

About 1.5 million (Jewish) children were killed in the holocaust. If you include Romany and Sinta children (Gypsies), and children of any race or background who had disabilities, the number grows to about 2.5 million.

Any number of reasons. Among others: > Revulsion in Britain at the thought of another war, since they had lost virtually an entire generation of young men just 20 years earlier. For example, see JFK's famous book, "Why England Slept". > A blindered sense of fair play among many high-ranking officials in the British government. They felt that everyone should run their lives based on being nice to each other and observing the same set of standards. Excellent idealism, terrible reality. Even spying was looked down upon because gentlemen did not engage in snooping. > A longstanding desire on the part of the U.S. to avoid "foreign entanglements". There were strong isolationist movements (involving among others, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh) that sought to keep the U.S. out of involvement with Europe's troubles. > The lack of instant and penetrating communication. Information ways conveyed by newspaper and radio, so people did not see foreign events in real time. Events in Europe were as distant as the Martian rovers are today. > An inability of many people to comprehend the rapid technological advances that were going on just below the surface. For most people, a radio, a car, some lights, and possibly a telephone comprised most of their technology. Oceans - and even the English Channel - were seen as significant barriers to invasion. Few people foresaw that aviation technology would completely negate those protections. For example, read about Howard Hughes' difficulties convincing the Army Air Force that it should fund development of long-range transport planes, how Robert Goddard's missile experiments were dismissed as an eccentric's hobby, or how Sir Frank Whittle's proposal to build a jet fighter (in 1939!) was rejected by the RAF because "an airplane without propellers is impossible". There's plenty more. Please expand on this! The mockery of the RAF as backward-looking is misplaced. From 1930 onwards it had an excellent R&D department headed by Hugh Dowding, who later commanded Britain's fighters in the Battle of Britain. In the 1930s the RAF did in fact develop two types of very effective fighters, which proved their worth in the Battle of Britain in 1940. At the same time, the RAF succeeded in persuading politicians to provide the necessary money to make all RAF runways concrete (instead of grass). Above all, with the development of radar, the RAF put in place an effective co-ordinated early warning system. None of this suggests backwardness. Whittle first present his plans for a jet engine to the RAF in 1929, and I wonder if the reference to 1939 doesn't include a typo, perhaps in the source. When Britain began to rearm in earnest in 1934-35 there was no point in choosing options that involved an unduly long time for R&D.

several reasons, industries in Germany being bombed, aloss in proctivity. It has been said thou that German industries did "defied" the bombers and kept pumping out tanks and planes.

The bombing of oilfields and sythentic oil production plants, left Germany with an oil shortage

Hitlers "medeling" with plans, for example his halt order to his panzer forces closing in on Dunkirk, as some historians have said let the british army escape. Replacing and firing compendent Generals because he or they disagreed with one another.

Not knocking Russia or Britain out of the war. Because of this American and UK forces were able to build up in Britain and Egypt and fight the Germans on 2 fronts. Not defeating russia, dragged germnay into a war of attrition whcih they could not win with the Russians.

The SS had nothing to do with the Allies. the first part of this paragraph is true and correct but everything else is incorrect

The United States new after Nazi Germany took over France that they would have to be invloved in the war, Great Britain would be alone with no help. Great Britain resisted the invasion and also succeeded. Also after Pearl Harbor the U.S declared war on Japan and its Aliies.
