How many men in a UK World War 2 Division?
With varying numbers for all armies, the IJA (Imperial Japanese Army) basically had 3 categories of INFANTRY division organizations in the 20th century, but used primarily two of them: Square and Triangular Divisions. The Square Divisions normally had two Regiments to a Brigade and two Brigades to a Division...approximately 12,000 men. After 1936, the IJA went to Triangular Divisions of 3 regiments to a Brigade and 3 Brigades to a Division...approximately 20,000 men. Examples: The squared 91st Infantry Division deployed to the Philippines, and the 109th Infantry Division deployed to the volcanic regions...including Iwo Jima during WW2. The Iwo Jima Division was reinforced with Independent Divisions/Brigades/Regiments of Artillery, Tank, and Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF-Imperial Marines).
What happened to the U.S and the soviet union in 1941 when they joined the allies?
I hoped the yalta conference in the Atlantic solidified any plans for a counter attack against Germany.
Did the allies use captured German tanks in World War 2?
I do not know of any example of this, but that ain't saying much..... German armour was perceived to be better than the British counterpart, I say perceived, but, for example in North Africa, the German advances tended to be quick in the extreme. Allied attacks throughout the war, in the west at least, tended to be much more measured. The Germans certainly used captured US equipment in the Battle of the Bulge, but then they were dressed as Americans ! Whether the Russians ever captured a Tiger or Panther I do not know.
After the entry of the united States into the war Germany decided its only hope for victory was to?
Break through in the west before American troops arrived.

What 2 countries were invaded by the allies?

Why were Germany and her allies defeated in World War 2?
Answer Because her enemies had at least five times her population, not even counting Britain's empire, and perhaps as much as 20 times her industrial capacity. Against those odds victory was virtually impossible. Then to top it off Adolf Hitler assumed personal command of the German armed forces, a position for which he was utterly unqualified, with the result that the Germans, on his personal orders, made one disastrous strategic mistake after another. Even if the allies had been poorly led they still would have won but they weren't poorly led. They had excellent political leaders and military commanders. Comment In both World Wars the real surprise was that Germany managed to keep fighting for so long. As the above answer indicates, Germany had taken on a vast alliance with immense human, material and industrial resources.
What are some of France's military strengths during World War 2?
France's strength in WW2 was defence.It was rock solid in defend by convential means. It was not suited however for mobile warfare.The french were expected another trench war and they thought that because of the maginot line, they would win with out much of a fight.However, as GErmany had an effective military offensive capability they seept through the part of the maginot line covering t the side exposed to belgium which took longer to build due to high production costs.
FRances offensive capabiluity was almost none as they only were able to attack a few desolute German towns and villages in 1939.
As we would have never agreed with the Nazis and their fuhrer's fanatical beliefs and ideas. The atrocities they committed could never have been more evil. For they are undoubtedly impossible to beat.
What factors allowed the Allies to defeat the Axis?
Primarily because of the Axis-powers' screw ups. Japan bombing us, that was one big fatal mistake. The Battle of Britain was also a really crippling blow to the Axis-powers. The Battle of Stalingrad delivered a crippling blow like no other to the Axis forces attempting to take over Russia, which the Axis guys really never recovered from at all.
The Battle of Philippine Sea was the blow that finally convinced Japan that World War 2 was not winnable. We, the U.S., hadn't recovered fully, but still knew how to launch surprise attacks, with the battle being the one that landed a blow crippling enough to permanently halt the Japanese offense in the Pacific.
Why were the western allies willing to appease Hitler?
The western countries that were France, Italy- Benito Mussolini and Britain- Neville Chamberlain were appeasing to Hitler because he wanted Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia because it was occupied by a majority of a population of Germans... also Britain, Italy and France thought that if they agree to his demands in return of a favor of not invading any other territory. They signed this appeasement without the knowledge of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was shocked but could not do anything as it was not that powerful to defeat France, Italy, Germany, Britain or any of them.
What are the names of all Allies in World War 2?
The Allies in WWII consisted of the United States, the United Kingdom and its colonies, the Soviet Union , France and China.

Other countries such as Denmark and Norway were invaded by the Axis but were not Allied nations. Also, the official members may not have been so from 1939.

Why were the Allies able to withstand German assults?
The Allied Forces were not always able to withstand German assaults but they often did because they were well led, well supplied and they used ingenuity to find ways to conquer the Germans in many battles. My favorite solution they came up with was taking German metal blockades from the Normandy beaches and transforming them into pointed plow apparatuses for the tanks. They were able to crash through the hedgerows in France by doing that. Brilliant!
The Allies 'withstood' German assaults simply because there was more allied troops than axis troops - and over time the Germans were unable to replace their losses. Case to points - the Germans on average fielded 250 divisions on any given year, versus the Allied's average 517 divisions. However, because the Germans were better trained and often had the element of surprise on their side, they were able to win spectacular victories during the first two years of the war. However, after two major setbacks in Russia in 1942 and 1943 where they lost over a million men and thousands of tanks and planes, their army was shattered - and the Germans simply could not muster enough forces to defend their territorial gain, let alone continue the offensive. So a German defeat was inevitable in the end.
In Normandy, a combination of Hitler's meddling with Germany's battle strategy and lower quality troops (most of their veteran units were fighting in Russia) contributed to an eventual Allied victory there. The German's last desperate push through the Ardennes in 1944 failed due to lack of fuel, poor logistics, lack of air cover (most of their air force was destroyed in Russia) and once again, manpower. In the end, the incessant British and US bombing raids which destroyed its industry, and the approaching allied armies on three fronts was simply too much for the German's rapidly shrinking military to bear, and her defenses simply collapsed by 1945.
So yes, the Allied troops may have been reasonably well-led and well supplied - but I think the main reason why they won in the end is because the Germans were outnumbered.
It has been estaimated that around 65,000,000 people died during WW2, that is including civilians, allied and axis soldiers.Most being civilians tho.

In the Second World War, "the Allies" were Great Britain (and the British Commonwealth countries), France, Poland, Russia, and the United States of America.
Was Taiwan an allied country during World War 2?
Since Taiwan was occupied by Japan during that time, no, it wasn't. However, Taiwanese people were forced to live and work for supplying Japanese military needs. Young men were called to the battlefields in the Southern Pacific islands and never came back. After the Japanese surrendered, it gave up its sovereignty of Taiwan after 50 years of colonization(1895-1945). Some claim that Taiwan was "returned to China", however, the legality of this statement has been questioned. When the Chinese Civil War ensued, and the Nationalists were eventually defeated by the communists, General Chiang Kai Shek fled to Taiwan in 1947. He brought continued the Republic of China's government on the island. The plan was to regroup and attack/return to the mainland, but that never happened. Taiwan, ROC was an ally until 1979 when President Nixon switched US recognition from the ROC on Taiwan to the People's Rep. of China.

How did France respond to the invasion of Poland in 1939?
about your question "how did countries respond to the invasion of Poland is:
GB and France declared war to Germany but there were no military actions on their part in the meantime, apart of some "skirmishes" on the North Sea and the Atlantic (navy actions of GB and Germany and the German invasion in Norway in April 1940). This declaration of war was called "phony war" until German's invasion of France in May 1940.
Answer to the first part of the question "during 1939 what happened to Poland as a result of the invasion".
In compliance with the Ribbentrop-Molotov Agreement, Poland was divided into to parts between Germany and Soviet Union. The territory occupied by the Soviets have never been recovered by Poland, who after the war received as compensation German territories westward. It's worth to point out that during the last days of fighting, Poland has been also invaded by Soviet Army which hit
the Polish Army from behind.
