WW2 Axis Powers

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party commonly known as the Nazi Party. He was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and, after 1934, also head of state as Führer und Reichskanzler, ruling the country as an absolute dictator. He was the leader of the German axis power. Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was an Italian politician who led the National Fascist Party and is credited with being one of the key figures in the creation of Fascism. He was the leader of the Italy's axis power.

The United States viewed Japan's joining the Tripartite Pact in September 1940 with significant concern and alarm, as it solidified an alliance among the Axis powers, which included Germany and Italy. This move heightened U.S. fears of Japanese expansion in the Pacific and the potential threat to American territories and interests in Asia. As tensions escalated, the U.S. began to take measures to counteract Japanese aggression, ultimately contributing to the decision to impose economic sanctions and embargoes against Japan. These developments were pivotal in leading to the eventual conflict between the U.S. and Japan, culminating in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

Von Braun was brought to the US as part of Operation Paper Clip, which brought German scientists to the US, initially without their families, as part of the beginning of the Cold War confrontation between the US and the USSR.

There were really no difference in the actual invasions (except in battle tactics that were specifically altered because of the different geography).

The difference was that Poland had a standing alliance with Britain and France, so Germany's invasion of Poland provoked Britain and France into declaring open war on Germany. China had no alliances with any Western country, so the Japanese invaded China with impunity.

It's difficult to put a price on a genuine Panzer from WW2. There aren't that many running around. However, to give an idea of what it might cost, someone is currently selling (June 2012) an authentic restored 1943 M18 Hellcat for $469,000 USD. A high quality replica (non functional guns) has just been marked down to $149,000 USD. I guess it's hard to find a place to park a 26 ton 11' wide behemouth without having the neigbours complain.

In 2008, a stash of 22 rusted out, stripped Panzer tanks from WW2 were auctioned off in Bulgaria. They were left over from the war and sold off - starting bids for these rusted out relics was $124,467 USD. No word on what the final bids were.

Eggland and Llama land

Germany wanted revenge after world war 1.

Denmark and Norway were occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940 and remained so until liberated in 1945. Finland was attacked by the Soviet Union before Russia and Germany went to war and, although she put up a good fight, was forced to make concessions to the Soviets and had to maintain a careful neutrality for the rest of the war. Even thought Finland "won" the continuation war, peace treaty made Soviet Union winner because Finland was fighting with German

in 1936, Japan signed with Germany a Anti-communism pact to cooperate against Russian communism. Italy joined after, thus creating the axis of powers.

Actually because they were the central powers of the axis

The history of the Romanian people is a history of wars; XXth: Balkanic War, World War I, World War II.

Napoleon III of France was forced to give up the territory of ALSACE-LORRAINE (in German - Elsass-Lohringen) to the new German Empire.

Several smaller European countries joined with the Axis at various times, but while not tehnically involved Spain had strong ties with the Fascists.

its true

Hitler and Mussolini were able to gain political power because of political/economic problems.

After WW1 Germany had to pay reparations for starting the war. France invaded a big industrial center of Germany. German workers went on strike and the government gave them money but created more marks(German $) in circulation causing inflation. In 1914 4.2 German marks = $1 in 1923 4.2 trillion marks = $1

Unemployment was also high and at one point 40% of German workforce did not have a job. Many turned to radical groups like the Nazis.

In Italy inflation and unemplyoment played a role as well. There was a fear of Communism rising to power in Italy. Mussolini was able to create a police(OVRA) that was able to keep Italy from falling into Communism. and Hitler appealed to the peoples sense of pride through slick speeches . he made groups such as the Hitler youth and he promised changr

The bomb created a blast equivalent to about 13 kilotons of TNT. The radius of total destruction was about one mile, Fires resulting from the explosion spread out to an area of radius of about 4.4 miles Japanese officials determined that 69% of Hiroshima's buildings were destroyed and about 7% damaged. 20 US military captives were killed.

World War One was significant in a negative manner. It was the first world wide war that involved many nations and many battles. Loss of lives was immense. Some 5 billion people died. It was so brutal that it was called the "war to end all wars". It did give birth to the League of Nations, designed to prevent wars, but it was ineffective. The war brought into play new weapons, and trench warfare.

When talking about history the word 'Anschluss' (a German word for 'link, connection') refers to the invasion and annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938. The word 'annexation' is misleading, though correct in terms of international law. In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with delirious applause that made even the Nuremberg rallies seem tame. In Vienna there was an explosion of Jew-baiting and elderly Jews were forced to sweep the streets with tooth brushes while onlookers laughed and hooted with glee. Joncey
