Sweden During World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sweden remained neutral, it did not participate in the war and was not attacked. Sometimes allied bombers which could not make it back to England would land in Sweden which, as a neutral power, was required under international law to imprison their crews until the end of the war. There is some controversy about Sweden's sales of iron and various goods to Germany - and also to Britain. Sweden allowed the Germans to use their railways which aided in the invasion and occupation of her sister country, Norway, which had also attempted to be neutral. I traveled extensively in Norway during the early 70s, and the WW2 generation never forgot that about Sweden. Put yourself in Hitler's or for that matter any in the German high command's shoes. What does Sweden offer in terms of strategic or tactical warfare? Nothing. In order to fight the British, the only useful country is Norway, which the Germans took. As far as the Soviet front was concerned , Hitler found an already willing ally with Finland. So why disrupt matters by sending German troops into a country which is militarily useless but economicaly important because of their iron production? The best way to handle the measure is by doing business with Sweden, not attacking them.

What kind of music does New Zealand listen to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As Aotearoa New Zealand * is now a largely westernized country, people in Aotearoa New Zealand listen to a lot of the same music as people in other western nations. The pop charts reflect the same musical trends as other English-speaking countries. Reggae and Hip hop are very popular, particularly among Maori and other Polynesians. There is also a thriving home-grown music industry that has slowly developed over the last 30 years or so. Musical genres such as Reggae and Hip hop have evolved their own distinctive Pacific flavor. Of course with the rise of the internet, more people in Aotearoa New Zealand have access to the same music as the rest of the world.

* Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand.

Who opposed the atomic bomb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ultimate decision to use the bomb or not lay with the President of the United States. The bomb was originally built to use on Germany. Once it was defeated they had to consider whether or not to use it on Japan to motivate them Japanese leaders to surrender and capitulate to the Potsdam Declaration. Based on all the information provided to President Truman he chose to drop the bombs in the hopes of ending the war and avoid having millions of Japanese and Allied Forces killed in an mainland invasion.

He had to weigh the advantage of murdering hundreds of thousand Japanese over the loss of millions people from Japan, the USA, Australia and other countries. He opted for the lesser of two evils. At the time the bombs were dropped they had no guarantee the bombs would even work or motivate the Japanese to surrender. The Allied Forces did not learn until years later that the Japanese were building the atomic bomb and had planned to use it on the United States. So It is likely the decision to drop the bombs prevented the Japanese from using them on the USA.

What are similarities and differences between the World War 2 era and today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In WWII the us and other countries converted virtually ALL industry to the war. that's part of the reason why WWI and II are called world wars. after WWII the US has fought what are called Limited Wars- wars which domestic businesses are not greatly effected as in the World Wars. Most limited wars have no major draft(except Vietnam)that effected domestic life as well. women do not have to take place of men overseas and so on.

i believe i answered this question more on a logistics base than a squad based battle field tactics which i believe you were looking for.

Who was fighting who in the WW2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In WW II we had two opposed alliances: the Allied Powers consisting of England, France, Russia, the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the Axis Powers of Germany, Austria, Italy, and Japan. The conflict was mainly motivated by Germany's dissatisfaction with the outcome of the previous great war, WW I, and the desire of the Axis powers to increase their wealth and power by conquering other nations (who naturally did not wish to be conquered).

How did the Great Depression help start World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

World war2 brought jobs. Factories had to make the airplanes, tanks, and ships. Young men signed up to fight. Since many women went to work the government opened day cares and that required teachers. The banks and businesses were able to make profits from selling items to Allied countries and still bought/sold gas and oil from/to Germany.

______________________________________________

The great depression did not have a significant impact on the start of WWII. The Asian theater was all about Japanese imperial ambitions, and their designs to become a world super-power. The European theater was all about Germany feeling harshly treated by the conditions of the peace negotiations of WWI and Germany's desire to be the dominant nation in Europe.

It is true that depression generally leads to the popularity of extremist parties, but it is very low on the list of factors of any of the belligerent nations of WWII.
