WW2 Axis Powers

25 degrees...very close to earth's 23.5 degrees.

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).

The most prominent members of the Axis Powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan, but there were also Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Vichy France, Siam, Burma, Manchukuo, Mengjiang, and the non-belligerent Spain and Portugal.

Italy fell to the Americans in 1943. Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary fell to the Soviets in 1944. Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Japan in August 1945.

They were the alliances formed by Germany, Italy, Japan, and several other Balkan countries (Axis) against USA, Britain, Russia, China, and host of other countries, Such as South Africa, Brazil, Canada, India, etc etc. there main goal was to... fight eachother? this is too broad of a question.

The unification of Italy

The Franco-Prussian War

The unification of Germany

At the beginning of WW2 the axis (particularly Germany) was ahead of the U.S. in almost everything. Their navy was superior as well as the air force. The army received better training and some will argue to say that if Hitler had not cut the funding on the air force and had listened to his generals that the war would have lasted a lot longer. The only advantage I can see that the Japs would have was the element of surprise (Pearl Harbor) and the jet stream that was above Japan that made it difficult for allied precision bombing. Towards the end of the war the U.S. pulled out in front with key advancements such as the M1 Garrand, P-51 Mustang, B-29 Superfortress, and of course the atomic bomb.

Answer

The technology of aircraft design made great changes during WW1. When the war began, many aircraft were designed similar to the Wright Brothers (even though the Wright Bros fought to keep their design a secret by use of patents, the foreign aircraft designers used their designs and improved on them.) Some of the features of the early design included:

A- Elevator controls in front of the wings

B- Pusher engines mounted in rear of the pilot

C- Warped wing flight controls

D- Heavy engines that produced very little horsepower, usually 2 or 4 cycliners

E- Guns were mounted in rear and operated by separate gunner/observer

As the war progressed, aircraft design improved the performance and maneuverabilty of the aircraft. Even though the Rotary Engines became a popular design that produced good thrust-to-weight, it eventually became out-dated. The Rotary Engine would turn with the propellor on a fixed shaft. (A Radial Engine is a fixed engine with its cyclinders mounted around the propellor shaft---it doesn't rotate.) With the improvement of engine technology, the typical engine became the water-cooled, straight-line,multi-cylinder engine. New engines included 12-cylinder engines or V-8 engines that were much lighter and produced more horsepower.

The elevator controls moved to the rear and the engines moved to the front. Eventually the armament was mounted on the fuselage so the pilot would fly the aircraft at his intended target. The common flight controls were hinged control surfaces.

All of these changes became the norm for the post-war aircraft.

We talk a lot about the effects of nuclear weapons on human health, but it is also important to ask what effects the knowledge of the world's nuclear arsenals and their destructive power may have on the human psyche. Do we really feel okay about living under the constant threat of annihilation posed by nuclear weapons? Many of us may not even have the energy to think about it, because the idea seems frightening, abstract and overwhelming.

-

Even though nuclear weapons are high-technological devices, we have to remember that in the end it is man who holds the finger on the trigger; it is man who has developed these weapons and who controls them and has the capacity to launch them - and get rid of them. History shows that on a number of occasions man has been a hair's breadth from using nuclear weapons by mistake, due to human errors and misinterpretations. How would it feel to be the one responsible for life and death - for the "to be or not to be" of mankind?

-

Only twice during the nuclear age have nuclear weapons been used in war: in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Close to 200 000 people were killed, but many survived. The Japanese call these survivors of the bomb Hibakusha. Today, many of the Hibakusha who are still alive travel the world to tell about their experience and memories. Many of them tell sad stories of exclusion and social stigmatization - of how society has rather not seen and offered a place to them, since they carry the memory of the terrible things that affected Japan in 1945.

The Nazis wanted to take over all of Europe and eliminate all Jewish people

I think Italy wanted whatever Germany wanted im pretty sure they just sided with Germany so Germany wouldn't invade them and beat them bloody

Japan wanted to take control of all the Pacific Islands to create and island empire

The Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia He took this without force. The first non-Germanic country he took with force was Poland.

Yes. The allies were Great Britain, France, USA, Australia, Holland, New Zealand, Canada, Greece, Norway, Finland, China and the Soviet Union. The Axis was Germany, Italy, Vichy France, Romania, and Japan.

The union of Germany and Austria was called the "Anschluss" and occured in 1938.

Winston Churchill

Spain Spain? Intriguing - I would have thought an alliance with Mussolini, Italy's leader.
