WW2 Allied Powers

The difference between cash and carry and lend-lease is that with cash and carry something is paid for outright. With a lend-lease something is leased for a portion of the cost, or it is loaned.

The united nations was a group created around 1945. There purpose was to bring all nations of the world together to work for peace and development. They were based on humanity an the well being of the people.

Hitler was a nervous wreck. He attempted to initiate a "Scorched-Earth Policy". Basically this was brought by the idea "If I can't have it no one can".

Some historians claim that it was during this time period that Hitler's addiction to amphetamines worsened, perhaps effecting the outcome of the Second World War. At his worst point, Hitler was getting injected with amphetamines 7-8 times a day by his incompetant physician, Dr. Theodor Morell. We can only assume in his doped state his mental capacity wasn't quite as sharp as it needed to be.

At the start of the war on 1 September 1939, the Allies consisted of France, Poland and the United Kingdom, and dependent states, such as the British India. Within days they were joined by the independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. After the start of the German invasion of North Europe till the Balkan Campaign, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece and Yugoslavia joined the Allies. After first having cooperated with Germany in invading Poland whilst remaining neutral in the Allied-Axis conflict, the Soviet Union perforce joined the Allies in June 1941 after being invaded by Germany. The United States provided war materiel and money all along, and officially joined in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. China had already been in a prolonged war with Japan since the Lugou Bridge Incident of 1937, but officially joined the Allies in 1941.

No one actually knows, but Anne and her family were wondering as soon as they got arrested by the Nazis. I personally think it was one of the people who knew about the Secret Annex.

France was on both sides. At the start of the war France was allied with Great Britain against Germany. Then the Germans invaded France and overran the country. The Germans then installed a puppet regime, called the "Vichy" French, after the town of Vichy, where this government was based. The Germans rounded up an octogenarian hero of WWI, Field Marshal Petain, and made him head of this new pro-German government. The "Vichy regime" was despised by many, if not most Frenchmen, but it was the new official government and was a German ally. This was important because it meant that all of France's colonies, which were numerous in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and on Pacific Islands, were now officially pro-German territory. Some Frenchmen escaped to Great Britain and started a "government in exile", which became the French government once France was liberated from the Germans. When Americans invaded North Africa in November 1942 they went ashore in French colonies (Algeria, Morocco) and for three or four days fought the French troops there. But nobody had their heart in this combat and the French troops soon quit fighting the Americans and came over to the Allied side. But, thousands of Frenchmen were true Fascists, and cooperated willingly with the Germans, denouncing their fellow Frenchmen and causing them to be imprisoned and killed by the Germans. There was an entire German SS division, the Charlemange Division, made up of French volunteers. But, probably more Frenchmen were members of the underground, also called the maquis or the FFI (French Forces of the Interior), waging an extremely hazardous clandestine campaign against the occupying Germans. Thousands were tortured and shot on suspicion of being members of the Resistance. The situation in France after the war was very complicated. There were thousands of court trials, with defendants facing the death penalty for collaboration with the Germans. Many Frenchman had had to go along with the Germans, or be killed. The French understandably prefer to remember the bravery of the Resistance, rather than those who went along with events to preserve life, or who enthusiastically collaborated. In every French town after it was liberated there were ugly scenes as young women who had dated German soldiers during the occupation had their heads shaven before jeering crowds.

Russia fought alongside the 'Entente', so its allies were Serbia, France, Britain and the British Empire, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Following the Bolshevik Revolution of November 1917, Russia pulled out of the war and made a separate peace with Germany and Austria-Hungary in March 1918. Russia's allies were furious.

6821 Americans died, but none of them were soldiers. Soldiers belong to the Army, and it was the US Marines who took Iwo Jima. So all the casualties were Marines, or medics serving with the Marines, who are US Navy Corpsmen. There were also 19,217 US wounded.

There were two: The battle of Coral Sea stopped the IJN's advance towards Australia, and the battle of Midway stopped their advance everywhere else; because their offensive power was destroyed at Midway (offensive power=aircraft carrier pilots and deck crewmen/the planes & carriers could be replaced, but not the airmen).

They can be used in war in many ways. Bombers and attack aircraft can be used to deliver artilary and bombs miles behind the front lines of battle. Observation aircraft can be used to track enemy movements, early warning radar aircraft can report enemy aircraft at miles away, long range fighters can escort our bombers, short range fighter interceptors can intercept enemy bombers, transport helicopters can deliver troops enywhere in a battle field, and tanker aircraft can provide mid air refueling for all these aircraft

If the war is about to begin you will run 2 the air raid shelter and u will be protected by the bombers .

With World War Two beginning in September of 1939, the approximate six years between then and 1945 seems to be the accuracy required for the question. With that said, however, it can be debated that this war actually began earlier. The massive invasion of China by Japan coupled with the annexation of Austria and the Italian bombing of Ethiopia all were "part" of the much larger war to begin in 1939.

The decline of the League of Nations in the 1930s reflected the inability of Britain, France, and the United States to oppose the increasingly nationalist-imperialist and militaristic trajectories of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The post-1919 international order that resulted from the Treaty of Versailles was fragile, and the league embodied that fragility.

Especially in those days there was a sense of pride among Australians in being a part of the British empire. they felt a responsibility to come to the aid of Britain in her time of need.

I would have to say after the American Civil War and during the mass wave of immigration and the Industrial Age that relations were normalized. Before the Civil War, Britain and America were engaged in several border disputes in relation to British North America-- Pig War, Aroostook War, etc. During the Civil War, US and UK relations were very cold and frosty almost to the point of Britain siding and fighting with the Confederacy. In the sense of becoming allies, it was not totally evident until World War One when the U.S. formally sided with the Allied Powers over the Axis Powers. World War Two and onwards into the present reaffirmed their commitment to the "special relationship."

Russia is the country, along with Nazi Germany, that invaded their country in WWII and Russia is being held suspect as one of the countries that brang down the plane that killed their president, head of bank and many other influiencial Polish leaders.

Nations or even individuals with common enemies become allies. This was true for the US and Russia during WWII on two counts. First, Germany had declared war on both Russia and the US. So in fighting the same enemy, US and Russia become allies. Secondly, Japan had invaded most of eastern Asia including parts of eastern USSR during the 30's. One of the rare Japanese military defeats during the 30's came at the hand of Russian armies. The tension between Japan and the USSR remained until the end of the war. So again the US and Russia had a common enemy and thus became allies. because it made defeat of the Nazis so much easier. however it was an unlikely alliance that was never going to last as they had so many differences e.g. political spectrums - USSR was communist, US was Nationalist. i was wondering when the two became allies, does anyone know???

They forced the German army into retreat from France, allowing the Allies to liberate the country.

The Allies tried the highest up leaders of the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials. Some were killed and others were put into prison for many years. Now, your question is HOW should the Allies deal with the Nazi war criminals after the war? That is a opinion question so I will tell you what I would have done. I would have dispensed all the civility (even though I am a Christian) and I would have had them all shot at one time with a very stern message to them about the sinfulness of what they did and they can now face their maker. The Nuremberg Trials took over a year and cost the taxpayers a lot of money. Do you think the Nazis gave fair trials to others? Not on your life. They just killed people at will. So even though I am a civil person I still would have dished out to them what they dished out to the Jews. I would have made them live in the concentration camps for 3 months with the amount of disgusting food they gave the Jews. Then I would have them shot.

Evacuation of the British army from France. Battle of Britain - the defeat of the German air force at the hands of the raf, thus putting off the invasion of England Stalingrad - The defeat of the German 6th army by the Russians. El Alamein - British 8th army defeat the Afrika Korps. Kasserine pass - Americans take heavy losses at the hand of the Afrika Korps. Battle for Normandy - Allied troops successfully gain a foothold in France and begin to retake the country, heavy casualties were taken in the process Market Garden - British 1st airborne is essentially destroyed at Arnhem, Americans airborne takes heavy losses holding the corridor to Arnhem open for XXX corps, the attack to take bridges to cross the Rhine and win the war quicker fails. Ardennes Offensive - German counter attack through the Ardennes finally fails but after heavy casualties to the Americans and Germans. Battle of Berlin - over 2 millions Russians assault Berlin and finally capture it, ending the war. The race for the completion of the atom bomb was, an unfortunate, but, arguably the most vital victory for the allies throughout the war. I also think That the opening of a third front through Italy was another vital factor in the defeat of the axis forces.

During the WWII 607 divisions of Hitler and his allies were defeated by Soviet Army. The Allied forces (without the USSR) smashed 176 divisions of the Axis. In the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk the Axis troops losses were 2.5 millions. In 1943 near Kursk 3444 Soviet tanks and 2733 Hitler tanks have engaged. That was the greatest tank battle in human history.

Some of the major victories for the Allies were: The Battle of Britain, which took place in Great Britain, where Luttwaffe bombed British airports, radar, powerplants, etc. Battle of Stalingrad, which took place in Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad. The Soviet Scorched Earch strategy took its toll on the German invaders. The battle alone resulted more Russian deaths than the USA suffered in the entire war. Stalingrad was Nazi Germany's furthest expansion. The Battle of Midway, which took place in the Pacific Ocean, were the Japanese Navy suffered one of its worst defeats. Midway was the turning point of the American-Japanese war in the Pacific Ocean. The fall of Berlin, which took place in Berlin, Germany, were the Red Army entered the Nazi capital city, and caused the end of Hitler and his conquest of Europe. The war in Europe was over!

Axis powers-Germany, Japan, and Italy-were part of a military alliance on the signing of the Tripartite Pact in September 1940, which officially founded the Axis powers. At their zenith, the Axis powers ruled empires that dominated large parts of Europe, Africa, East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, but World War II ended with their total defeat and dissolution. Like the Allies, membership of the Axis was fluid, and other nations entered and later left the Axis during the course of the war.
