WW2 Axis Powers

There were three. First, the Allies tried to get Greece to join them. They succeeded but the Nazis managed to take them over. Then, half of the USSR were taken over. Finally, a year before the war ended, France was occupied by Germany.

It was D-day. Also known as the invasion of Normandy (which is in France). It was a very planned out event by the United States

For the Allied Powers, Franklin D. Roosevelt was President of the U.S., Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of England, and Joseph Stalin was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. These were the "big three" of World War II, and some might also include Charles de Gaulle, the President of France, to make a fourth. Note that initially, the Russians were allied with Germany until they came under German attack. The Axis Powers included Adolph Hitler, the Chancellor and Head of State of Germany, Benito Mussolini, the Prime Minister of Italy, and Hirohito (Emperor Shōwa) the Emperor of Japan. There were other players, but these are considered the major ones. Use the links below to check facts and learn more.

there was only a world war 1 and world war 2

The Germans lost somwhere between 3000 and 3300 troops. There where between 3000 and 3300 Germans that died on D-Day. To be honest I would like to know the source to the number of casualities on the German side. It would be nice if we refered to source when giving such information. There will always be a question of reliability to the answere when there is no reference to where the information come from.

Italy invaded Ethiopia. Germany took Austria and Czechoslovakia claiming it wanted all Germans in one country. Japan invaded Korea and China. When Germany invaded Poland, France and Great Britain declared war. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy.

Germany surrendered and Hitler commited sucide and soviets lost over 20million men in the war

Malta was an island in the Mediterranean Sea that was held by the British. From this island, the British could strike Italy and disrupt the shipping lanes that was re-supplying the Axis troops fighting in North Africa. Malta was heavily bombed by Italian air force but the island never capitulated.

A machine gun, is a self-loading gun that can fire multiple shots with a single actuation of a trigger. It will fire for as long as the trigger is held pulled or pressed or until the ammunition runs out. Machine guns are also called automatic guns, or fully automatic, to distinguish from semi-auto self-loading guns that fire once per actuation of the trigger.

Machine guns can be recoil-operated, gas-operated, or externally driven by hydraulic, electric or other means. Most machine guns have a single barrel, however some have multiple barrels in a rotating assembly. The difference between those and other multi-barrel systems such as volley guns is that only one barrel fires at a time.

They never really started to rule, they somewhat came to power over the years. The great depression in the late '20's and early 30's affected not only the U.S. but also most of Europe, and the people needed someone to turn to, someone who will look out for them in time of need. Now, Hitler took some advantage of that and rallied the people using propaganda and public speeches to aid his rising power. Fascist leaders like Benito Mussalini, the Italian dictator, took liking to the ideas and actions of Hitler. This paragraph is only very brief of what really took place.

Hiroshima is a seaport city in Japan. Cities, to my knowledge, do not have capitals.

On May 2,1945 the Germans surrendered,which ended the War in Europe and the Battle of Berlin. Hitler committed suicide just days earlier. On Sept 2,1945 the Japanese surrendered,officially ending World War II. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 forced Japan to quit the War.

Allies - The US , Britain and Russia / Axis - Germany , Italy and Japan .

Italy

Firstly, South Africa was not involved in WW2.

Secondly, why is this titled under Australia in WW2?

No, these were two separate groups. The main characters and countries in the axis powers were Italy, Germany, and Japan. The main characters and countries in the allied powers were Russia, China, France, England, and America. Canada would sometimes come to the allied powers meetings, but would not be noticed. Ever.

he created the creation of old age pensions-1926

Unemployment insurance-1946

Those non-Jewish people risked their lives by hiding Jews or by helping them escape to neutral countries such as Switzerland or Sweden.

Germany, Japan , Italy, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were the Axis. The British, the Soviet Union, China and the U.S. were the allies. Finland was not in the Axis, but it fought against the Soviet Union and received help from Germany. Use this info in a good paper.

Sorry, no easy black or white answer to this question.

It would be difficult to find a better example than Wernher von Braun of the impact of a society' s choices on the moral behavior of an individual. Von Braun repeatedly visited the Dora-Mittelwerk facility in the Harz Mountains near Nordhausen, where concentration camp laborers were forced to assemble V-2 ballistic missiles under deplorable conditions that resulted in staggering mortality.(1) It has been estimated that ~20,000 workers died in V-2 production, as contrasted with the comparatively minuscule 2,541 (documented) people who died from the use of the V-2 as a weapon during World War II.(2) Von Braun acknowledged, in writing, that he personally selected workers for Mittelwerk from camp inmates at Buchenwald, who he described as in 'pitiful shape,' and he acknowledged that by 1944 he was aware that many of the slave laborers at Mittelwerk had been executed, that many others had succumbed to malnourishment and dysentery, and that the environment at Mittelwerk was "repulsive."(3) Under the proper definition of the term, von Braun was not a war criminal, per se, (4) but it is hard to argue that he was not a party to 'crimes against humanity' as defined today by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory Memorandum. (5) After immigrating to the US under the auspices of Operation Paperclip, von Braun became a US citizen and led a life that might best be described as mirroring the morality of his new masters. Aside from modest amounts of work on the exploitation of space as a (thermonuclear) weapons delivery platform, the vast body of his career was focused on efforts to colonize space. (6) Arguably, not unlike most men (consider the Milgram Experiment), von Braun was a moral chameleon who behaved as was needed to advance his own interests and survival; in his case the conquest of space. While there is evidence that he was not indifferent to the human suffering and murderous exploitation he observed at Mittelwerk (7), there is even more evidence that he was unwilling to take any action, direct or indirect, to change the status quo, or even to withdraw from participation in the Nazi rocket development program (incapacitating illness is always a viable excuse). Throughout his long career his only recorded incidents of insubordination or disobedience to orders are those that occurred when the interests of his prime directive, the exploration of space, conflicted with those of his masters. Notable examples are his disobedience of direct orders to destroy remaining V-2s as well as all drawings and documentation pertaining to the German rocketry program in the closing days of WWII, his forging of (contrary) orders to move him and his team into Allied hands (8), and his collaboration with Army General John Medaris who headed the US Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, AL (again in direct violation of orders) to assemble and secrete a Redstone launch vehicle and its satellite payload (the Jupiter-C, a modified Redstone intercontinental ballistic missile that launched America's first satellite, the Explorer probe) in anticipation of the failure of the US Vanguard effort to orbit an 'artificial moon.'(9) In short, he appears to have been committed to the realization of space flight at any cost. This may rightly be considered as unforgivable, but it should be remembered that countless others in human history have participated in such atrocities with nothing more grandiose at stake than the prospect of a better job, a little more money, higher standing in the community, or simply because they enjoyed the power and authority that accompanied their execrably inhumane jobs. Had humanity chosen to pursue space flight, instead of war and genocide, von Braun would almost certainly have been the man for the job; and a model citizen and untarnished hero in the bargain. 1) Jaroff, Leon (2002-03-26).
