What was the United States in World War 2?
The only legitimate fault that the US could be attributed to was it's failure to join the League of Nations. As it was not a member, it lost the chance to urge action against Japan, Italy and Germany. But due to the large isolationist movement after the Great Depression, it is doubtful any President could have acted with a more vigorous and forceful international policy. The US had it's hands full dealing with it's own problems after Black Friday
When did medieval warfare take place?
The term "medieval" is applied to the Middle Ages, which is the period between the fall of the Roman civilization (476 AD) and the Renaissance which was roughly the 14th through 17th centuries.
The Middle Ages are therefore the period of about 800 to 1000 years when Europe existed in a state of feudalism. This was marked by the establishment of ethnic and national realms among the once-primitive tribes, and by the Crusades launched against Islamic occupation of the Holy Lands of the Middle East.

What is people's opinions about Holocaust?
Terrible
There were those who thought that this was a black period in history and there were those that to this day think it was a good thing. and there are those that deny it ever happened. they have to be careful that they do not say this in public as they don't have the same political clout as the Jewish lobby who seem to think they deserve some sort of special treatment. My own opinion is that this period was just another terrible example of what happens when we let our politicians and our prejudices get out of control. Granted the Jews put them selves apart as the special chosen ones and see everyone else in a lower light. but then does that not happen with every religion and cult. the Jews were not the only people that were brutally murdered during these few years of human history. they were but a small part of the whole.

Adolf Hitler was not a bad person, really he was one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. A reason why people might think he is bad is because his Nasos party was related to the SS Black Guard which unlawfully executed jewish people in internment camps. Most of the world confuses the political National Socialist Party with The National Affairs group ran by Heinrich Himmler which was the group that really was be blamed for the genocide that took place during World War 2. Without Adolf Hitler Germany's economy would have fell and never recover due to the famine and syphilis that plagued western and northern Germany.
Fascist leaders in Italy and Germany came to power in the 1920 and 1930 because they?
Because there was no plan to take care of Italy and Germany after the Great War these nations were left in great ruins with high levels of unemployment. When these conditions happen people will look to there governments for hope and changes. Guys like Hiltler offered change. They said that the Jewish people were taking all the jobs. And they were lining their owns pockets with the dollars of Hard Working Germans. He could only look at History the Jews had been bankers since there earliest day.
Because these poor conditions were allowed to happen the US developed the Marshall plan. This plan in a sense rebuilds the country that the US has a war with. By doing this you win the Hearts and Minds of the people. You achieve a prewar economy quicky and can move the population to a non militant stance. You allow them to retain there nationality and pride.

Was Romania damaged by World War 2?
Romania picked the wrong side in two world wars. In WWI they thought the Russians were doing well in 1916 and so joined with them. Romania was quickly overrun by German / Austrian troops and occupied for the duration of the war. In WWII, the Romanians thought they knew better. They sided with Germany from the start (what was the alternative? siding with Stalinist Russia was not really an option.) Germany assisted Romania in the war by proving military supplies and various trade. Romania provided most of Germany's natural petroleum supplies. Romania's military fought well alongside Germany's, on the Russian front. About 500,000 Romanian troops died here including large numbers in the Stalingrad campaign of 1942-43. The western allies bombed what parts of the country they could, but the long distances involved prevented the mass terror bombing perpetrated on Germany. After the war, Romania suffered like the rest of eastern Europe at the hands of the Soviets. The country was brutalized by Soviet occupation. Some territory was stripped away. A puppet pro-Soviet government was set up. Secret police terrorized the populace. Eventually the Soviets withdrew and Communism collapsed. The pro-Soviet leadership was disbanded or executed. The Romanians did extremely well out of WW1. They gained Transylvania, the Banat and several adjoining districts, the Bukovina and Bessarabia. The country doubled in size! They were in very good standing with the West because they suppressed the Bela Kun's Communist uprising in Hungary in 1919.

Who were prisoners of war in World War 2?
Enemies captured by the other side For about the last hundred years, most nations have agreed on who are POW's and what rights and protections all POW's must be given. All that is written into a series of treaties called the Geneva-Hague Conventions. A conventional POW is a uniformed member of a national military who was captured by another national military outside his/her home nation during a military operation. The two nations need not be at war, but usually are in conflict. A conventional POW must be removed from the dangers of the combat zone, must be fed and sheltered and offered medical care, and cannot be physically abused or publicly humiliated. A POW has no right of appeal of his/her detention, and is held until the conflict ends (in WWII and Korea, the US held POWs for years, until those conflicts ended). POWs can be interrogated, but not tortured (as international law defines torture). Usually prisoners have the privilege of sending and receiving letters and packages (searched), International Red Cross inspections of POW facilities, and confirmation of POW capture is communicated to his/her home nation. Fighters not in uniform ("belligerents"), or not subject to the official discipline of higher commanders (e.g. mercenaries) who are not in national militaries are not entitled to POW rights and protections. A prisoner of war is a person that is held captive for being on the opposite side of a war, not for committing crimes. They are held until the end of the conflict unless traded.
Is fascist or fascism and offensive word like Nazi?
The word fascist is sometimes used to denigrate people, institutions, or groups that would not describe themselves as ideologically fascist, and that may not fall within the formal definition of the word. The Fascist party that developed in Italy in the 1920s rigidly enforced conservative values and behavior norms during the Mussolini regime. As a political epithet, fascist was subsequently used in an anti-authoritarian sense to emphasize the common ideology of governmental suppression of individual freedom. It has also been applied to a broad range of people and groups, including people of many religiousfaiths, particularly fundamentalist groups. The individual, institution, or group(s) called fascist often find the use of the term in this way to be highly offensive and inappropriate.
