Yes, If it hadn't been for America entering the war then all of eastern Europe and most of Africa would be under Axis control
In the early part of the war, yes. In 1940-41 before the US entered the war, all of Eastern Europe except for Russia, and all of North Africa (except for Egypt which was controlled by the British) would have been under Axis control. Yet, America's entry into the war was determined by Japan which had aligned itself with Germany and Italy, and FDR's insistence that the enemy must fire the first shot. The destroyer USS Ward fired the actual first shot, but the bombs dropped at Pearl Harbor shortly after were considered the first shot. FDR then embarked on a "Germany First" policy, regarding Japan and Italy as second bananas, and sacrificing American troops in the Philippines and other Pacific locales. Churchill talked a tough line against Germany, but once aligned with the US he advocated strikes against the Vichy French in North Africa, and Italy which he described as the soft underbelly of Europe.

What is a women spies world war 2 essays?
I saw this question in our database and it is fairly old now. I thought I better let you know than an essay about women spies in World War 2 is exactly that: an essay that tells about women who spied for either the Axis Forces or the Allied Forces. There were women spies on both sides. There were more women spying for the Allied Nations than for the Axis nations.

of course
Who survived the World War 2?
No one survived, they all died. Second Answer: Both the Allies and the Axis forces did survive and citizens of the nations survived World War 2 even after 71 million worldwide died. People who died in the war died from war wounds, disease, widespread sicknesses, starvation, extermination and exposure to bad weather. They were both civilian and military personnel. More civilians died in World War 2 than did military people. The previous answer saying we all died is ridiculous.
What mistakes the allies made after World War 1 that led to World War 2?
They didn't give much to Italy and Japan, despite the fact that they had been equal allies with the other countries, such as the US and Britain. Their worst mistake, however, was the Treaty of Versailles. This was MUCH too harsh, and is actually remembered more as the major cause of WWII than as the end of WWI.
Why is World War 2 unique?
World War 2 was perhaps one of the few wars in the history of mankind where the fight was about something more than a political squabble. The War of 1812, WW1, Vietnam, none of these were like WW2. It was the closest we will ever get to a true good v evil war. Yes, the Allies did have Stalin, and the Axis did have redeeming features, but there was still a clear hero in the eyes of most. It is the most similar to a fairy tale: A noble side fighting in the name of freedom, sovereignty, and democracy, defending the world against an cohort of brutal, genocidal dictatorships.

Was Neville chamberlain allies or axis?
Allied, he was the Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1939 but resigned after the disastrous Norwegian Campaign.
Was Neville chamberlain an allies or axis?
No one is "an allies". "An" is singular, referring to 1 thing, and the word "allies" is plural, for 2 or more things. No one is an axis; in this case that is also the title for a team of countries. The word "ally" [pronounced like the name Al + the word 'lie'] means a war friend, some member in an alliance. Was Neville Chamberlain a person of the Allies or Axis? Germany, Italy, and later Japan were in an alliance, called the Axis, and Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and later the USA were in an alliance, called the Allies [Al + lies]. The Germans had fostered an "Axis" of power, "axis" like the line the Earth spins around, and a bunch of friendly countries, or "Allies", weren't okay with that. Get the word? The reason the Allies weren't okay with the Axis is because the Axis wanted to take over the world, including the countries of the Allies (They didn't always admit it out loud). The Axis thought they could, and it seems like they were almost right. In Europe, classically, they took over Poland and France, and more of mainland Europe. Great Britain had a prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, who was known for appeasement, which means letting people have what they want. He was the leader of Great Britain, one of the Allies, and his strategy for dealing with the power-hungry countries of the Axis was letting them do what they wanted, hoping they would leave his country alone. The next leader of Great Britain, Winston Churchill, had a famously better strategy, of fighting them to the last drop of blood. History remembers Churchill better than Chamberlain, but they were both World War II leaders of Great Britain, an important Ally. SRS
Why the Axis leaders represent evil in the eyes of so many and was their cause any less just than the Allies?
Yes, the cause of the Axis powers was definitely less just than that of the Allied powers. The Axis powers engaged in a campaign of global conquest and genocide, while the Allies acted in self defense.
Were Germany s European axis allies more invovled in the blitz than the battle of Britain in operation sealion?
Germany's Axis allies were not involved at all in the Blitz, the Battle of Britain or operation Sea Lion. All of those were exclusively German affairs.
