It was December 16, 1944 and the war in Europe was coming to a head. The Allied forces were taking

Dunkirk is a sea port located in The North-East regions of France. Having WW2 commenced, Germany has successfully invaded such countries as Poland, Denmark, and Norway with Britain sending their forces to help Norway yet, the German forces and navy became very advanced in all aspects of the war that it seemed no country would be able to even see a sight of victory against a strong and well prepared German Side which had their ‘Blitzkrieg (Lightening War)’ tactic which saw them defeat the big countries of Europe. Soon enough the Nazis invaded Belgium and Holland also and had another victorious spell with Belgium in surrender and Holland in no state to even stand a chance of winning. On the 10th May 1940, France too

On June 6, 160,000 allied troops landed along a fifty mile stretch of land to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircrafts helped on the invasion. Once on the beach they faced death, without any shields or protection for two hundred yards, due to the sacrifices each man made that day Fortress Europe had been breached.

"After World War II began, Germany invaded and occupied northwestern France beginning in May 1940. The Americans entered the war in December 1941, and by 1942 they and the British (who had been evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940 after being cut off by the Germans in the Battle of France) were considering the possibility of a major Allied invasion across the English Channel."

She starts crying and accepts his proposal if he just stays with her, “Alas! I thought I had only a friendship for you, but the grief I now feel convinces me, that I cannot live without you.”(Beaumont). Then the beast is transformed into a handsome prince and they live happily ever after. The Disney version starts with a spoiled, selfish and unkind prince is transformed into a hideous beast by a misleading and beautiful enchantress, “She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.”(Beauty And The Beast 1991). If he cannot learn to love another and earn her love also before his 21st birthday the spell will never be broken and he is doomed to remain a beast for the rest of his life. A few years after the spell was placed on him Belle’s father gets lost in the woods near the beast´s castle and he is chased by wolves into the castle to get shelter, where he is captured by the beast and is thrown into the dungeon for being a trespasser. While the father is imprisoned by the beast, Belle is in the village being harassed by the village strongman Gaston who asks her frequently to marry him. Belle soon starts to worry about her father and ends up finding him in the castle where she trades him places. When the beast finally gets her to warm up to him Belle’s father is sick, and he allows her to go save

Two years of preparation finally came to fruition. In April 1942, allied forces attacked the Nazis in France that occupied Europe. Germany, under Adolf Hitler, had gained control of most of Western Europe. Allied forces realized that timing was right for an assault, which if successful, would establish a land foothold from which to stage a push across Europe freeing the occupied countries from German control.

May 1940. Germany had attacked France, Belgium and Holland. Within six weeks all three countries had surrendered. Germany’s success lay at the feet of a new and successful war technique: Blitzkrieg. This was the fast and overwhelmingly successful invasion of a country using tanks, air craft, artillery and infantry all working together communicating by7 radio. The BEF (British Expeditionary Force) was sent to help in France in 1939 at the start of the war, but was caught up in disaster, retreating from the German Front back to France and eventually the beaches

The Battle of Dunkirk happened in Northern France between May 26 and June 4 1940 and was a major battle of the Second World War which occurred between 1939-1945. The Second World War was very different to the first with rapid movement covering huge amounts of land in very little time. This was due to the German Army’s speed which used “Blitzkrieg” or “Lightning war” tactics.

Before the battle of Dunkirk, the Germans had the upper hand in the war. The Germans surrounded and trapped the Allied soldiers at Dunkirk. However, Hitler made the mistake of halting the attack and not finishing off the soldiers. He allowed for the Allied forces to escape because he claimed he wanted to make peace with Winston Churchill and he wanted to rest his troops. In later documents, it was revealed he stopped the attack to display his power and show the other military leaders that he was in charge. Nonetheless, the escape at Dunkirk was a significant event in the war because it allowed Britain to save a large number of soldiers that were needed to win later battles.

The Battle of Britain is regarded as the most famous military engagement of World War II. The fall of France in June 1940 to Nazi Germany not only left Britain as the only European power working actively against the Germans but also left them vulnerable to bombing campaigns launched from Northern France, having only to travel twenty-five miles across the English Channel to reach targets in south-east England1. The quick surrender of France allowed German forces to direct their attention towards Britain. Although Hitler had publicly stated a desire to negotiate peace terms with Britain, preparations had been made for an amphibious invasion of the British Isles, codenamed Operation Sealion2. German High Command was aware of the fact that

Germany invaded France in 1940 and easily dominated the country, controlling the area from the beginning of the war. The Germans attacked through the Ardennes region, following the invasion Adolf Hitler placed Commander Erwin Rommel in charge of securing the Atlantic wall, 2,400 miles of fortified coastline. The United Stated entered World War II in 1941, following the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor. The Allied forces took control of France following the success of Operation Overlord June 6th 1941. United States, Canada, and Great Britain invaded Normandy Beach on June 6th 1944, by June 11th the beaches were fully secured. Following the momentum the Allies moved west capturing the port of Cherbourg by the end of June. This proved to be a pivotal acquisition for the Allied force, allowing for easier movement of forces, equipment, and supplies. This monumental success was a major turning point and a beginning to the end for the Germans on the western front.

With a strong backup, the Allied troops were able to advance through the enemy-occupied countries with lightening speed. Therefore, the attack not only led to the French people’s freedom, but also to the quick downfall of Nazi Germany. (Naval History and Heritage- D-Day, the Normandy Invasion, 6 - 25 June 1944)

The Invasion of Normandy took place on Saturday, June 6th,1944 in Western Europe. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adolf Hitler were leaders of this war. Eisenhower was a Commanding General and Hitler was the leader of Germany. Eisenhower launched an attack along French Coast. German leaders couldn’t believe Allies attacked Normandy. Allied soldiers parachuted behind German line and dropped bombs. The next morning ships approached beaches with men and supplies. They built forces in France and had 90,000 vehicles and 10,000 men with them. Hitler was furious and ordered his troops to join the fight. In August, Allied troops tried to move into the Netherland but the Germans were successful in stopping them. Allied troops won Eindhoven and Nijmegen but the Germans won British ‘Red Devil’ troops at Arnhem.Although the Germans had that successful feat, Allied forces reigned almost all of France.

The film, “Coco”, in my opinion was directed very creatively while focus on the theme of family and culture. The film voices were portrayed by the Latino actors/ actress to maintain a strong latino aesthetic as this revolve around their tradition and the explanation was well done that most could comphered it. Even though, the film is focus on a latino tradition but the theme of family and chasing one's dreams can be related to almost anyone. The film, “Coco”, was directed by Lee unkrich and Adrian Molin, and distributed by the Walt disney studios in 2017. The film begins with the tale of a small family named the Riviera: its made of a father ,mother and a daughter named Coco , where the father has decided to chases his dream of becoming
