How did the us defeat the axis powers in World War 2?

In the World War 2 period there was no one power that could be called "the World Superpower" so the US did not defeat it.

At present some call the US "the World Superpower." Whether that is a valid description or not is a matter of opinion, but even if true it is still not possible for the US to defeat itself so the US has never defeated "the World Superpower."

When did axis powers declare war on the United States?

Germany and Italy declared war on the USA on 11 December 1941. The US got involved in World War II when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, so US and UK declared war on Japan.

After that USA made military camps in Britain and helping UK with Operation Overlord (D-day) in 1944, as well as in many other battle theatres.

What was the defeat Hitler first strategy?

Save Great Britain first was the translation. Only Britain opposed Germany until the spring of 1941. By spring of '41 Russian and Germany were at it. The policy was to preserve England, not let it lose to Germany; and US men and material went to Europe first to defeat Germany first. This was all the result of Winston Churchill's lobbying effort to FDR...which apparently worked. The People of the United States WANTED to attack Japan first...but good ole Churchill...

Did Axis powers occupy whole or parts of Morocco Tunisia and Algeria during World War 2?

Briefly yes, mostly the areas near the northern, Mediterranean coast. These nations were all colonies of European nations. Morocco was divided between France and Spain, and Algeria and Tunisia were French colonies. After the Germans conquered France they installed a puppet government in France, called the "Vichy Regime". This was the national government of France, and was an ally of Germany.

Italy tried to conquer Libya, and made such a mess of it that Hitler had to step in and help them out. The Germans sent the Afrika Korps to help the Italians fight the British troops, which were based in the British colonies of Egypt and Palestine.

US troops landed in November 1942 in Morocco and Algeria, and for three or four days the Vichy French military forces tried to fight them, before giving up and changing sides.

The British were pushing the Afrika Korps westward from Egypt, and US forces closed in from behind, and the end of the struggle came in Tunisia, with the Germans and Italians completely defeated.

What were the political policies of the axis countries?

There was a stark contrast between Russia and the other Allied powers. Russia was communist, while the others were democracies. As a result, they often conflicted while working together to stop the Axis powers. At the end of the war, tensions between Russia and its former Allies were at an all time high. This led to the Cold War.

What was the importance of the Battle of El Alamein?

The Second Battle of el Alamein pushed all German forces out of North Africa and opened up the way for the Invasion of Sicily and Italy. It was a major defeat for Rommel's Desert Army.

Winston Chuchill was quoted as saying: "before Alamein we never won a battle, after Alamein we never lost one".

== The Battle was a turning point in the North African campaign. Just prior to this, the British changed their commanders. Gen. Alexander took over the command of the British forces with General Montgomery under his command. Under their command, they formed 2 mobile armored divisions that were trained for desert war. The Allied air forces and navy began cutting off the Axis supply lines.

All these changes lead up to the victory at El Alamein and the battle resulted in a change of attitude for the British 8th Army. The German army began to realize that they could not win without more supplies reaching their ports.

What was Czechoslovakia during world war 2 allies or axis?

Even though being occupied by Germany shortly before World War 2 (Also known as Munich Dictate which forced Czechoslovaks to not put any fight against Germans and cede Sudetenland even though Germans occupied whole country later), it was considered to be part of allies because official government fled to Great Britain after the country´s annexation by Germany.

Two new axis satelites (Bohemia-Moravia and Slovakia) emerged from occupied countries during WW2, but legitimate government of Czechoslovakia fought from exile and formed sizeable Czechoslovak units on both eastern and western fronts.

How did the allies defeat the axis powers during World War 2?

A thorough answer to this extends well beyond the scope of Answers.com, but in rather short form: Hitler got himself into a defensive position in a two-front war when he failed to conquer Britain and Russia both - and the invasion of Normandy came just as German supply and fuel lines were breaking down - from that point, it was a matter of out-supplying and out-lasting the Third Reich. The U.S.Navy had re-grouped in time to put all necessary effort into the Battle of Midway in the Pacific, and Japan never fully recovered from that loss, making their defeat inevitable, though the path to that defeat was greatly shortened by the use of the atomic bomb.

What were the benefits for Great Britain to be in the allied powers?

Each Allied Nation seemed to offer the correct element for a win at some time of the conflict. The US could provide a seemingly inexhaustible armory of Military Weapons and advanced technology, Americas bread basket seemed bottomless. Bottomless was the manpower pool of the USSR and they were putting out the only tank that could face German forces nose to nose and come out on top. Great Britian? Yes that was the question. They offered the full support of the Empire. They also had the best signals intelligence and cryptographic unit in the world at Bethchley Park. And they had a weapon of great importance and value, they had Winston Churchill.

Tojo approved the attack on Great Britain, the United States and the Dutch East Indies in 1941. Though they had early victories, the country faced severe losses as war went on.

Why was Nuremberg trial important?

The Nuremberg trials were necessary because they addressed the crimes of the officers, supports and political leaders of the Third Reich. Trying these leaders of Nazi Germany helped to make sure someone answered for the crimes of the second world war.

Was Austria part of the Axis Powers?

In March 1938 Austria became the first country to be annexed by Germany. (In other words, it was added to Germany). In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with hysterical enthusiasm that made even the Nuremberg rallies look tame. In Vienna some people celebrated by making Jews sweep the streets with tooth-brushes, while crowds looked on and jeered and laughed. Austrians were heavily represented in the German army and in the Nazi terror apparatus. It was only after Stalingrad that it became fashionable in Austria to say that the country had been a victim of Nazi agression. I hope this answers the question. Joncey Let's not forget that Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889 and only moved to Munich when he was 24 years old.
