The Allied Powers of World War 2 were England, Canada, France, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, India, Brazil, Costa Rica, and the United States. They worked together by having a theater commander. In each area, one group of people would be in charge of the theater, and one general (or field marshall) would be in charge of moving the troops about.
The same rule applies in NATO. The headquarters are in Europe. The President of NATO is a European (Read Sir Winston Churchill or Winnie). The Supreme Military Commander is an American (Read General Dwight David Eisenhower or Ike).
(Winston Churchill said the Allies also had a secret weapon in World War 2, the English Language.)

Describe the importance of the airpower during World War 2 in the pacific?
Very important. The Pacific theater was made of small islands held by the Japanese. They were dug in, so it meant that the troops had to land on each island and fight ( just like DDay landings, but many more than one). Support from the air was important in taking the islands because they would bomb the islands first. The Japanese air force also had planes that would bomb our ships so they worked at keeping them away from the ships and to fight them in the air. Watch the series Victory at Sea and you will see real footage of the war in the Pacific.

To put an end to the war, President Harry S. Truman commanded an American bomber, the Enola Gay, to drop one of the first atomic bombs, nicknamed "Little Boy" on Hiroshima. On August 6, 1945, the Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" on Hiroshima. 3 days later, a larger bomb nicknamed "Fat Man'' because of it's size was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The Emperor of Japan described the nuclear bomb a "New and most cruel bomb". Japan surrendered aboard the Uss Missouri in Tokyo bay on August 15, 1945

Japan lost there colonys in the pacific, they also lost Korea. The communist controled the north, america controled the south. in the 1950s, the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. removed the troops and N.K. wanted to reunite the Koreas under one rule. So there was a korean war. NATO and the U.N. was formed to try to resolve and stop the spread of communism. the cold war didnt end untill the 1990s.
Each individual bringing something new to the group, like the old motto "Army of One" we are only as strong as our weakest link.
