Two waves of aircraft attacked and destroyed many planes and ships before they were capable of responding. Soon after that the Japanese attacked the Philippines by land, sea, and air and eventually drove the Americans from the islands and captured over 10,000 American soldiers. The Japanese also attacked and conquered some smaller American islands in the Pacific. The Germans were initially quite successful at using submarines to sink American shipping off the Atlantic coast.

What is the Definition of longitudinal axis?
longitudinal axis:
An axis along the lengthwise direction of the figure or body, usually passing through its center of gravity.
Why wont your axis and allies not work?
There could be several reasons why your Axis and Allies game isn't working. It might be due to a damaged or missing component, such as game pieces or the board itself. Additionally, if the rules aren't being followed correctly or if players are not familiar with the game mechanics, it could lead to confusion and a lack of enjoyment.

Who rescued Mussolini and What did they do with him?
A little background info:
In 1943, Italy was losing their part in World War II, and by that summer, the Allies had driven Italian forces out of North Africa and even had invaded Sicily. The war was extremely unpopular among Italians- to the point that even Mussolini's Fascist Party turned against him. On July 25, 1943, the King of Italy fired Mussolini and had him arrested. The new Prime Minister soon began negotiations for Italy to switch sides and join the Allies against Germany. In early September, the deal was finalized and Italy officially switched sides- just as the Allies were starting their invasions of Italy itself.
Mussolini was rescued from prison a few days afterward.An elite unit of German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) led by Major Otto-Harald Mors and special SS commandos led by Captain Otto Skorzeny landed in gliders on the mountain where Mussolini was held. The troops used surprise to overwhelm the Italian guards, and escape with Mussolini without firing a shot. For propaganda reasons, the SS troops and Skorzeny got most of the credit for carrying out the raid.
After the successful mission, Mussolini was brought to German territory. Shortly thereafter, the Germans created the "Italian Social Republic" in northern Italy, with Mussolini as its first (and only) ruler. However, Germany was actually in control of it, and did most of the fighting as the war continued.
Eventually, as the Allies continued to push the Germans out of Italy, Mussolini decided to try to escape to neutral Switzerland with his girlfriend and a few of his remaining close friends. The group was captured by anti-fascist rebels near the Italian-Swiss border at the end of April 1945. Mussolini and his band were executed, and their bodies were hung at a gas station in Milan. People were able to spit on the bodies and throw things at it, to show how much they hated them.

98,000,728 acres of land was
Which axis power was more important?
Germany was warring with the major industrial powers in the world at that time, Europe; and was strongly established as a land power. Japan was warring with sparsely distributed industrial powers in the world at the time, Asia; and was strongly established as a sea power.
How do you calculate a planet's orbital semi major axis?
The equation of an ellipse is
((x-x0)^2)/b^2)+((y-y0)^2/a^2)=1
hope that helps! : )
____________________________________________________
that equation is for an ellipse, true, but that's not what is needed here.
In this case you can just use Kepler's 3rd law which is: p^2=a^3
Which means the period (in years) squared is equal to the radius (or semi major axis) in AU cubed.
Which of the following best describes a theory?
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has withstood repeated testing and scrutiny. It integrates a wide range of observations and hypotheses to provide a coherent understanding of a phenomenon. Unlike a simple idea or speculation, a theory is rigorously validated and can be used to make predictions about future events or observations.
The Axis expansion refers to the territorial and military growth of the Axis Powers—primarily Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan—during the late 1930s and early 1940s. This expansion was marked by aggressive invasions and occupations, such as Germany's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland, Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and Japan's expansion into China and other parts of Asia. The goal was to establish dominance and create empires, leading to significant geopolitical changes and ultimately contributing to the outbreak of World War II.
Who were the 3 main axis powers and who were the main allies?
The three main Axis Powers were Germany, Japan & Italy.
The main Allies were, USA, Britain (UK), Canada, Australia, and Russia (at times)
What did allies do to punish axis leaders after the war?
This question can refer to the First and or Second World War. The aftermath of the First was Germany viewed as the humiliating terms of surrender under the Treaty of Versailles. The Second involved the partition and military occupation of Germany after 1945. Those Nazis that escaped trials and arrest were hunted, the chief example of which was Eichmann who was captured by the Israelis in South America.
