What did the Allies do to help the world recover after World War 2?
The only country after the war that was in any position to help the Europeans, were the Americans. We were the only country whose economy improved dramatically by the end of the war. The Marshall Plan was passed by Congress and over $15 billions was spent on rebuilding war torn Europe. It was a great success that kept the communists out. Had their not been a Marshall Plan, it is highly likely that many of these countries could have been seized by communists, supported by the Soviet Union.
When did the allies turn the tide?
Well, the turning points were different for the 3 countries. They all occurred in 1942. Italy had the war turn against them after defeats in North Africa. Japan after a series of naval defeats. Germany took a blow after the defeats in North Africa, but the turning point against Germany was after the Battle of Stalingrad.
Why was Greece involved in World War 2?
Yes. Greece chose to go to war when given the option to simply provide passage, and made the first victory against the axis. Greece was the only country forced to confront the armies of 4 countries simultaneously. Greece resisted the German/Italian/Bulgarian/ Albanian attacks for more than 7 months (219 days). In comparison, Norway lasted 61 days, France only lasted 43 days and Poland 30 days (the rest of the countries lasted much less, if not directly surrendering). 10% of the whole population died during that period, where in comparison Russia comes second loosing 2.8% of its population. Many amongst whom Roosevelt, Churchill, Mussolini, Stalin, Charles de Gaul and even Hitler at his speech at Reichstag commented on Greece's resistance. A typical quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt: "On the 28th of October 1940 Greece was given a deadline of three hours to decide on war or peace but even if a three days or three weeks or three years were given, the response would have been the same. The Greeks taught dignity throughout the centuries. When the entire world had lost all hope, the Greek people dared to question the invincibility of the German monster raising against it the proud spirit of freedom."
What was the most common guns used in World War 2 by the allies?
There were many, but the Colt M1911 (American), the Browning Hi-Power (Canadian), the Webley (British), and the Tokarev (Russian) are a few of the main ones. * John Moses Browning designed the M1911 for the US and the Hi-Power for Belgium. Germany overran Belgium and captured the factory, but the plans for the Hi-Power pistol were sent to Canada. British paratroopers also used them, but most of Great Britain's armed forces used the old Webley revolver.

In which direction did Allied troops move after liberating Paris?
North, to Germany.
Answer: Germany is East of Paris. The Allies formed a front line that ran basically North/South and advanced Eastward. True, there was a thrust across Belgium to the North but that was intended to drive into Germany around the flank.
Why did Germany enter World War 2?
Germany *started* World War II. Their purpose was spelled out very clearly in Hitler's book, "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle). Hitler wanted revenge on France and Britain for Their victory in the first war and he wanted to acquire vast territories in Eastern Europe, exterminate or enslave the people living there, and let Germans live there. Michael Montagne Germany didn't "enter" World War Two, Germany "started" World War Two by invading Poland in September, 1939. A better (historically more accurate) question might be, "Why did Germany start World War Two?"
Germany didn't enter World War 2. They helped it on it's way. Basically, Hitler wanted to break the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and he pushed it too far and conflict was ignited.
How did the Allies respond to the Holocaust?
In December 1941, when the first reports about routine mass gassings reached London, a Foreign Office official wrote in the margin; 'Bolshevist propaganda?'
The Allies didn't really want to know about it and seem to have seen it as a distraction from the war effort. Beyond announcing that they intended to punish those responsible they did nothing specifically to stop the Holocaust. Please see the related question.

When did the nazis invade North Africa?
Hitler/Germany did not invade Greece. Mussolini did. Hitler had been making moves in Checzslovakia and other countries and was not consulting Mussolini. Mussolini wanted to show that he could act on his own. So, he launched an attack on Greece. Italian troops crossed the Albanian border on 28 October, 1940. Hitler was returning from a visit with Franco and learned of the invasion when he arrived at the train station at Florence. When Hitler met with the jubilient Mussolini, he could not speak of the invasion but gave false predictions that Spain would join the Axis alliance. There is a photo of them together on a podium in front of the crowds and Hitler doesn't look happy. As it turned out, Mussolini's troops became bogged down (literally in the muddy mountains) and Hitler did send troops attacked from the North (or right flank) and rescued Mussolini from embarassment.
Why did the Allies win World War I?
There are many of reasons but the main reason why the allies did actually win World War 1 is mainly because that the German army was very undated in tank inventory and Britain and France worked together to make a high-level tank. The Germans had themselves to blame as they sank the American ships which caused the Americans to enter the war as well.
This gave Britain and France a extra boost in terms of men, weapons and money and then the attack began and the Germans were hungry and tired as Britain and France blocked German ports so that food couldn't get in so then the German ruler Kaiser Wilhelm had no choices left.

What are the major countries that made up the allied powers?
In World War Two the "Allied" Powers fought and defeated the "Axis" powers.
The major powers that led the "Allies" were France (later called the Free French), Great Britain (& Commonwealth nations), China, United States, and the Soviet Union. There were dozens of other Allied Powers that played various roles, such as Poland, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Greece.
The major "Axis" Powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan. I would add Vichy France to the list of major powers opposing the Allies. Also the Soviet Union helped the Axis from 1939 until 22 June 1941 when it was attacked by Germany & other minor Axis powers.

Where did the d-day invasion take place?
The Normandy landings, codenamed Operation Neptune, were the landing operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, in Operation Overlord, during World War II. The landings commenced on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (D-Day), beginning at 6:30 am British Double Summer Time (GMT+2). In planning, as for most Allied operations, the term D-Day was used for the day of the actual landing, which was dependent on final approval.
The landings were conducted in two phases: an airborne assault landing of 24,000 British, American, Canadian and Free French airborne troops shortly after midnight, and an amphibious landing[4] of Allied infantry and armoured divisions on the coast of France starting at 6:30 am. Surprise was achieved thanks to inclement weather and a comprehensive deception plan implemented in the months before the landings, Operation Bodyguard, to distract German attention from the possibility of landings in Normandy. A key success was to convince Adolf Hitler that the landings would actually occur to the north near Calais. There were also decoy operations taking place simultaneously with the landings under the codenames Operation Glimmer and Operation Taxable to distract the German forces from the real landing areas.[5]
Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces was General Dwight Eisenhower while overall command of ground forces (21st Army Group) was given to General Bernard Montgomery. The operation, planned by a team under Lieutenant-General Frederick Morgan, was the largest amphibious invasion in world history and was executed by land, sea and air elements under direct British command with over 160,000[6] soldiers landing on 6 June 1944: 73,000 Americans, 61,715 British and 21,400 Canadians.[7] 195,700[8] Allied naval and merchant navy personnel in over 5,000[6] ships were also involved. The invasion required the transport of soldiers and materiel from the United Kingdom by troop-laden aircraft and ships, the assault landings, air support, naval interdiction of the English Channel and naval fire-support. The landings took place along a 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.
