The US Army had about 1,100 serve during WW 2. Listing them all or even
the top 50 would be beyond the scope of this forum. Lieutenant General
Simon Bolivar Butler was the senior General Officer killed during the war.
He was Commanding the 10th Army on Okinawa at the time.
Ten other Army Generals were killed in action and two were taken as POW's by the Japanese and were executed.
Generals George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
and Omar N. Bradley were the senior US Army Generals with the rank of
General of the Army (5 Stars).

What nation was an ally of the United states during world war 2?

Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France


Did Great Britain rule the world?

They didn't rule the world, but they colonized most countries in the world.


Why do you think foreign nations supported the colonists rather than Great Britain?

During the American Revolutionary War, foreign nations (European nations, particularly) supported the Colonists rather than the British for primarily one reason: they were competing with Great Britain for supremacy in the Old World and elsewhere. Thus, to see Great Britain defeated in America would weaken that nation while at the same time strengthening Great Britain's competitors, especially France and Spain.


Why did the US become allies with England in World War 1?

"England isn't a country. We sided with Great Britain." Wrong again. Great Britain is not a country either. The country at the time which allied with the US, was the UK; united kingdom of Great Britain and [at the time not northern] Ireland. It is like saying "mainland america", it is a geographical term, more commonly mistaken for "the island of Britain", Great Britain being the outlying islands. Only Americans call it Great Britain. NO ONE in the UK calls it Great Britain apart from an atlas which includes all the islands around it.


Why did the US end up trading exclusively with Great Britain in world war 1?

During World War I, the U.S. ended up trading predominantly with Great Britain due to Britain's naval blockade of Germany, which severely limited Germany's ability to trade with neutral countries, including the U.S. Additionally, strong cultural and economic ties between the U.S. and the U.K., along with Britain’s financial investments in American industries, made transatlantic trade more favorable. As the war progressed, American public sentiment shifted towards the Allies, further solidifying trade relations with Great Britain over Germany.
