This varies widely from airport to airport.

The runways at your typical international airport are 10,000 to 12,000 feet long, but may be as short as 7,000 feet. 10,000 feet seems to be a pretty standard size.

The runways at your local municipal airport can range from 2,000 to 7,000 feet long, but in extreme cases may be as short as 1,200 feet! 3,000 and 5,000 feet are common lengths.

Why did Romania switch sides to Britain in World War 2?

In WW2, Romania tried to be a bit... on its own side. Romania was a monarchy, with a teenager king of German origin. A small rich country, full of oil and natural resources, a valuable stop for the German army marching on its way to Soviet Union. When the war started, USSR was neutral and all the countries around Romania had a Nazi/fascist regime and territorial claims. So, what Romania tried, being isolated, was to protect its borders. It played a neutral game, with a Pro Germany flavour, in order to get in peace with the German troops. In the meanwhile it tried to help - Polish heritage artifacts were saved, via Romania and Jews have been less hunted than in other places. Many gypsies have been saved from the Death trains. On 23rd of August 1944, Romania "turned the guns" against Germans and followed the Red Army on its way to Berlin. After war, Romania was treated like a "enemy" country, it lost territory and its Heritage (fine art, gold, historical artifact's, etc) and they entered in a dark age.

Why did the United States need a strategy for a two-front war during World War 2?

Because it is a rare situation when adquate troops and armament are available to confront such a situation. To waste forces in a piecemeal manner is a certain way to insure defeat. The concentration of forces is a military maxim that Custer failed to comprehend. Chairman Mao was a master at this, "when they attack, withdraw, when they halt attack". In WWII, the Allies established the Germany first policy. The Pacific was not just a defense, it was a strategic defense. MacArthur and Nimitz didn't always agree on the correct plans and policies for the Pacific War in which they held co-equal command, but they both knew an accepted that the war in Europe had priority.

Why didn't France join the Allies in World War 2?

The phrase refused to fight is very hard on the 150,000 French members of the regular forces and the 20,000 members of the Resistance who lost their lives fighting the Germans. That said, France's political leadership was poor, but please bear in mind that from 1934 onwards France was deeply divided and this weakened the country. (Compare with Spain, where the Fascists plunged the country into civil war and, with foreign help, overthrew the elected government by force).
