WW2 Allied Powers

Anne's diary began on June 14, 1942, and ended on August 1st, 1944.

In World War 2? Probably Bolivia or Peru. Loads of south American countries joined the Allies days before the end just so they could have a say in the post war talks. Most of them didn't actually contribute though.

If you read James Bradley's "FLYBOYS" you will get a good in depth answer to your question. The short answer is that the conditions were horrible. The Japanese felt that they were a superior race and all other nations were treated with complete disregard. The pilots that this book follows were all killed by the Japanese that held them. Some within days of capture, one was alive for a couple months. As for the camps themselves the captured Americans were - as I understand - lucky to survive the ordeal. Minimal food, poor shelter, etc.

There were various types of shelter constructed.

The most popular was the Anderson shelter which consisted of curved sections of corrugated tin bolted together and half buried. The top was covered with a thick layer of earth. They were very strong but couldn't stand a direct hit.

Larger shelters were often constructed from concrete and brick though deep shelters used at military sites along the south coast were dug from the chalk cliffs and then lined with corrugated tin.

Another type of shelter (IIRC the Morrison shelter) was a steel table that you could shelter underneath indoors that would protect against falling debris.

Great Britain, aided by its commonwealth allies, as well of New France, liberated Western Europe. USSR, supported by the United States, pushed the Nazis out of their territory and liberated Eastern Europe. The United States strained Japan's expansion in the Pacific ocean.

A division is a large military unit or formation usually consisting of around ten to fifteen thousand soldiers. In most armies a division is composed of several regiments or brigades, and in turn several divisions make up a corps.

The traditonal Marine Corps Divison from 1940 to at least 1980 was three Regiments of Infantry eachi having three battaions of a thousand Marines each and an Artillery regiment plus a headquarters staff plus other supporting units and totaled aboutb 20,000 men. Three Divisions equaled a Corps, three Corps equals an Army, and that's a bunch of troops. While it was still a Corps, the US Marines at one time had five Divisision, four Wings and support and Headquarters troops. It was bigger than an "Army" and in the battle of Okinawa a Marine Corps Officer once commanded a US Army in combat. It was payback for the time when a US Army officer named Robert E. Lee was in command of Marines trying to stop John Brown at Harper's Ferry. War and life are always filled with strange little twists.

Morale would have been increased with the thought of the many children being safe from bombings. With this, people would have been able to perform better with their war efforts. However, the effect of saying goodbye to one's child could also effect it in a negative way.

The Army trains some men with the specialty of a sharpshooter. There is no license for this.

The Nazi- Soviet Pact was an agreement between Germany and Russia that promised neither would attack the other for 10 years. There was also an economic agreement attached it to that said Germany would exchange manufactured goods for Russia's raw materials. The pact only lasted 2 years before Germany invaded Russia. It was said that from the beginning Hitler considered the agreement a very tactical, temporary movement.

yes. Much of the world was part of the allies in WWII but what is more intersting about Mexico is that a Mexican Air Squadron (air planes) acutally fought in a battle during WWII. I belive it was in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

American, British and Canadian forces went ashore in Normandy in France on D Day - 6th June 1944 and gradually fought their way through France to the German border. While this was happening, Allied bombers were continually bombing Germany. At the same time, Soviet forces were attacking Germany from the east until the Allies all met up in Germany and Germany then surrendered. It is interesting to note that it took the three most powerful countries in the world acting together, before Germany could be beaten.

Egypt loaned Great Britian 3Million Pounds during World War I. proof in the British Archives. It Also sent workers to dig trenches in Belgium and there are films to prove this. Where Egyptian soldiers on camel backs attacking Germans. and there graves are in parts of Europe. I am surprised that I don't see any of this mention in any written history. the Egyptians were promised that the British would leave Egypt which of course they didn't and it started the revolution in Egypt in 1919.

Britain, France, and Russia, but Russia became an ally when they realized that Hitler had gone back on their promise. I do not know about France, but I am pretty sure.

D-Day was so important because it was the day that the Allied nations grabber their first strong foothold on Europe. Thus, it was the beginning of the end of the war because from the beach of Normanday (the beach captured because of D-Day) the push into France and eventually Germany comenced.

America suffered practically no damage. Other than harmless balloon bombs, and those fierce U-Boats, there were hardly, if not any civilians that died because of Axis attacks... Now if you see Russia, everything from Poland to Moscow was burned, which contained about 60% of everything Russia had, about 1/18th of the country was gone.... In a matter of 1 year.... Germany suffered a whole lot too...

Even if you add up all the little Pacific islands controlled at one time by Japan, and throw in Spain ("controlled" by Germany) and Ethiopia ("controlled" by Italy), plus the nations of Japan, Germany and Italy, and all the occupied areas of Europe, such as Poland, part of France, Belgium, Holland, etc. you don't get anywhere near the land area "controlled" by the Allies. Russia alone probably exceeds the combined land area of the axis nations, and perhaps England alone, considering that at the time England "controlled" not only the British Isles but Canada, South Africa, India and Australia (and maybe a few smaller members of the commonwealth that I've forgotten.

OMG has no one answered this? Serious? Anyway, the answer is Germany ,on the 30 April 1945,when Hitler killed himself, his wife and children in his bunker. It didn't take long after that for them to surrender!

The maximum age of enlistment depends upon the branch of service, and if you have previously served before.

Currently for first time enlistees the highest age limit is 40 and is for the Army only.

Reenlisting in the military follows a much stricter guideline but may allow you to reenlist up to 54 years of age.

Benito Mussolini(Dictator of Italy during this time (1922-1954) was a dictator, and he was the first to make a European country Fascist. They were considered one of the 'Axis Power' along with Germany and Japan. Which I strongly believe that the relationship with the US and Italy wasn't strong, nor was it good either.

Answer It's difficult to answer a question like that. Allies lost so many people in an attempt to gain a beachhead in France that it's difficult to say that we "won" on that day. But the events of D-Day were necessary to winning the war in Europe. The Allies were able to invade the beaches that day and establish a place for troops and equipment to come ashore. With the forces that came, the allies were able to defeat the Axis powers and eventually destroy Hitler.

Operation Overlord: 5 beaches in Normandy (Parachute landings by US & British Airborne) jn Normandy Code names Gold Juno Sword Omaha & Utah Operation Dragoon (Also known as Anvil) Landings in Southern France on the Mediterranean coast.

The three MAIN countries in the Allied powers of World War II were Britain, The U.S., and France (surrendered). the States joined after the bombing on Pearl Harbor. RUSSIA cause France technical didn't fight so. US Britain and Russia
