WW2 Allied Powers

The US economy entered 1975 in recession following the economic downturn which had begun in late 1973 and accelerated in 1974, but recovery was under way by mid-year, assisted by a $23bn Congressional tax cut. Inflation remained a major concern, but fell sharply from the 12% peak of late 1974. Unemployment fell from its May 1975 peak of 9%, but remained above the postwar average for the remainder of the decade and beyond.

The Russians held out at Stalingrad for many months. The Battle of Stalingrad was a long, epic, very bloody battle. It was the first time that German forces had been defeated and started a Soviet offensive.

Allied with Australia was the British Empire, China, the United States and the Free French.

Opposed were Germany, Japan and Italy.

Other than joining the actual combat there are two significant ways in which the U.S. helped its allies: (1) FRD's "Lend Lease" program which enabled England to purchase war materials and pay for them later and (2) helping England win the War in the Atlantic and thereby keeping the sea lanes across the Atlantic open. Without either England could not have held out against Germany prior to the Normandy Invasion.

The Soviets were supplied with half a million US trucks and jeeps during the war which enabled the Red Army to sustain their mobile offensives that ripped apart the Germans. The US supplied many other materials and supplies to the USSR but the trucks were probably the most important.

All The Above - Apex

The Treaty of Versailles set up certain restrictions for Germany, such as a ban the creation of wartime materials. When Adolf Hitler rose to power, he defied many of these restrictions and entered the Sudetenland, which is an area between Germany and France controlled by France at the time. What triggered a declaration of war was the invasion of Poland by Germany. Due to the defensive pacts Britain and France had with Poland, they declared war on Germany. Before this, however, Britain and France tried to pacify the growing Germany through a process known as appeasement, but war soon followed as stated above

Germany surrendered on November 11 1918. In doing so, they had to pay a huge price, which lead to World War Two years after.
May 7th, 1945

The British Expeditionary Force escaped from Dunkirk to avoid destruction and/or capture by German armed forces . The BEF reformed as the core of a reconstituted and resurgent British army that later fought with distinction on the European mainland (and elsewhere) .

Israel is now the allies of Egypt after they signed a peace treaty in 1979. However, they were not always allies. In 1967 Egypt and Israel went into a 6-day war. In 1956, Israel, along with other countries, invaded Egypt.

One major reason for allies winning ww2 was good Leadership of the Generals...

Maybe another as... Vast amounts of Military resources and overwhelming power may be another reason :D

Poor leadership from Axis side (irrational decisions by Hitler, in particular).

or maybe it was that the Russian winter slaughtered the Germans, along with the best army, and tanks.

Another reason the allies won in the pacific was the A-Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It pretty much showed the Japanese that they started the war by attacking the US and the US would win it by attacking their country. All in all, there were several big reasons the Allies won, there wasn't just one huge reason.

Morrison shelters, officially termed Table (Morrison) Indoor Shelters, were designed by John Baker and named after Herbert Morrison, the English Minister of Home Security at the time.

Anderson shelters were named after sir John Anderson and designed by sir John Wemyes.

The five largest countries affiliated with the Allies in World War 1 are the UK, Russia, France, Japan, and Italy. The United States was a large ally, but they're considered co-belligerent, rather than affiliated.

Africa was invaded by the Allies during Operation Torch on November 7, 1942. Many nations in Africa were French colonies, and became part of the Axis empire after the fall of France in 1940. The Allies invaded Casablanca, Morocco, and pushed east through Tunisia to meet up with British forces pushing west from Egypt.

Around 40,000 Scottish Soldiers were killed during World War 2.

The F-100 Super Sabre is the first US massed produced jet fighter to reach Mach 1 in level flight reaching Mach 1.05 May 25, 1953.

any plane could have reached Mach 1, but would have broken up.

The UK, the USA and the USSR were nicknamed the Big 3 of the nations that were part of the Allied Forces, much to the chagrin of the French. There were many other countries that were part of the allied forces. There were Europeans who were part of the allieds that wanted to out the Nazis from their own countries.

With Sweden being a Neutral country I think that most of its citizens were of the same mindset.Whereas Norway ,Denmark,etc being attacked and they're military forces opposing the enemy, albeit a small force compared to the German might,the overwhelmed but not defeated remnant fled to sanctuary in Britain and joined the fight from there in the S.O.E. or the free Norwegion or Danish forces, as did the Dutch ,French,Czech,Polish.There could very well have been Swedish citizens who, as individuals came and joined the fight.

There was several swedish volunteers figthing with british and American forces, i know there were a few swedish soldiers fighting with the Americans at Omaha beach.

However most of the swedish volunteers went to fight with the finns in the winter war, and a small number fought with the Germans.

The Allied powers were the countries like the US and Great Britain in world war 2 that opposed the axis powers in World War 2 or Italy and Germany.

Germany declared war on the U.S. on 11 December 1941 (yes, that way round). As is usual in such circumstances both countries recalled their embassy staff. It's a common fallacy to assume that a declaration of war has to be reciprocated. In other words, the U.S. had no need in international law to declare war on Germany.
