The And Italian Campaign Of World War II

All because of Canada’s workers intelligence, from scratch, they created the best gear such as handguns, fighter planes, armoured personnel carriers that were to be used overseas. “Canadian industry produced more than 800,000 military transport vehicles, 50,000 tanks, 40,000 field, naval, and anti-aircraft guns, and 1,700,000 small arms”. All of these vehicles, and guns were either designed and put onto blue prints in Canada or the United Kingdom but each and every single vehicle and gun was produced in Canada’s factories. Of the eight hundred thousand military vehicles, approximately one hundred sixty eight thousand were issued to Canadian forces. This meant that our Canadian army had an approximate soldier to vehicle ratio of three soldiers to one vehicle. When the Great Britain joined into the Italian campaign, they had eighty thousand vehicles, and seventy five thousand of those were left behind in the evacuation of Dunkirk. Britain relied on Canada to almost “bail” them out with relief vehicles. Once Canada shipped in their obscene amount of vehicles across the Atlantic, the Germans would find themselves overwhelmed and were forced to retreat out of Sicily, thus proving how strong of a threat Canadians posed to the Axis powers. Not only did the contribution of land vehicles support the Allied troops, on the other hand, but the influx of antiaircraft guns help the

The Italian Campaign put Allied troops in Europe. Lesser objectives of the invasion included a chance to capitalize on the collapse of Italian resistance; to immediately use Allied forces; to engage German forces that could be sent to Russia and northern France; to take control of airfields that could be used for bombing missions; and to gain control of the Mediterranean.

To begin, a major battle that contributed to the development of Canada is the Battle of Ortona. This battle was also known as Operation Husky. The Battle of Ortona major players were Canada against Germany. This battle is one of the best known Canadian battles in World War II. This battle happened in July 1943 in Italy.

The capture of Ortona, known to those who fought it as the “Italian Stalingrad”, is considered among Canada’s greatest victories during the war. That’s why Battle of Ortona is important for

First, the study will begin with an examination of how the individual Canadian soldier at Vimy Ridge is mythically portrayed to possess superior qualities compared to the soldiers of allied armies. This myth will be debunked using statistics, showing that Canadian soldiers were not markedly superior in any quantitative way. Second, the myth that Vimy Ridge was an impregnable defence which Canadians miraculously overcame will be scrutinized. Conversely, this study will show that the German position was far from secure, greatly devaluing the ridge’s mythical status. Third, the false pretense that The Canadian Corps could achieve objectives that allied armies could not will be evaluated. Rather, it will be demonstrated that there was no attempt to take the Ridge in the two years prior to the Canadian assault of April 1917. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, the myth that the Canadian Corps would employ brand new, innovative tactics will be refuted with the evidence that there was nothing innovative nor new about the tactics employed. Finally, this paper will provide an explanation of the myth’s purpose, and how the myth proliferated so

During World War Two, Canadians distinguished themselves on the home front, in the air, at sea, and in the battles spread all across Europe. They distinguished themselves in battles such as Juno Beach and Ortona. Juno Beach shows the great middle power known as Canada and Ortona shows the great Canadian Ingenuity. But, neither of those battles were the most important or most significant to the future of Canada. The battle of Hochwald Gap was more important to Canadians because, it showed that Canadians although being a middle power could perform just as well as the Superpowers. The battle shows the greatness of Canadian leadership, how great the Canadian troops were, and how greatly it affected Canada. The operation of this battle, Operation

The Invasion of Italy was planned in order to weaken the fascist regime. Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britain at the time, had planned the invasion of Sicily with the help of President Roosevelt from the US. The Invasion of Italy had been a turning point for the allied powers because of the US and British armies strategic plans to invade, the fall of Mussolini, Italy joining the allied powers and the bringing in of Hitler on a two front war in order to weaken the axis powers leaving just Germany and Japan on the axis side.

The development of the allied military strategy in World War II (WWII) presented challenges for the U.S. and Great Britain as they worked together to defeat the Axis powers. First, this paper will review the environment at the time of WWII when Admiral Stark penned the “Plan Dog” memorandum and MAJ Wedemeyer’s War Defense Team put together the “Victory Plan”. Next, it will look at the advantages and disadvantages of coalition operations with supporting examples. Then, a review of two major meetings between U.S. and Great Britain will identify what strategic decisions were made and the effects they have on the war. Finally, this paper will explore the foundations of strategy (Clausewitz and Sun Tzu) by which the allied forces used and

After World War I, many Americans feared the idea that communism would spread, they called this concern “The Red Scare”. Americans were wary of the spreading of communism after the Russian Revolution, in their paranoia America attempted to block new incomers, especially eastern and southern Europeans. In addition to The Red Scare, there were limited jobs in America, because of this generations of workers whose families had immigrated before the 1900s, began to view new incomers as a threat because they would work for lower pay and further reduce the jobs available for the nativists . Due to these concerns, immigration regulations went into effect. For instance,

World War II. World War II began 20 short years after World War I occurred. There were many memorable and momentous events that have occurred during this World War. The events that happened before the war is just as important as the events that happened during the war. It all began with the ideas of Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany and Head of the Nazi Party. Hitler planned on making Germany the Third Reich by expanding and creating an “Aryan” racial state. Hitler believed that the superior nations had the right to lebensraum. Lebensraum was living space through expansion. Lebensraum gave the superior individuals the ability to gain authoritarian leadership. This is how Hitler came to power. While Spain was fighting

The Canadian Troops acted in their first raid of the new war, not only were our troops part of this attack on Dieppe but we led it. This operation marks the first Canadian Army engagement in this European war. Our army, navy, and airforce were involved in the battle, which began at dawn and ended by noon.

The Battle of Anzio was a good plan executed poorly, which led to a stalemate resulting in one of the highest concentrations of field artillery in history. The Battle of Anzio or Operation Shingle would turn into a bloody stalemate lasting nearly four months. The Battle of Anzio happened during World War II. World War II was the largest, most destructive war ever fought. Fought all over the world, World War II resulted in an estimated fifty to seventy million deaths. (Gibson) World War II began in Europe when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. Upon the invasion of Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. Battles would rage for the next two years before America entered the war when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and immediately following the attack Germany declared war on the United States.

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, which went from the periods of September 3, 1939 - May 8, 1945. This battle is given to the name of the war fought between ships, submarines, and airplanes. In the beginning, it was the Britain and Canada against the Germans. Then to the middle of 1940 the Italians joined the German’s side. Then from September 1941 the United States decided to the join the Allies.

World War 2 happened in 1941-1945. It was a war against Germany and Japan against Russia, Europe, and Asia. We were brought in it at the attack at Pearl Harbor. The attack was from the Japan attacking us and we got involved in the war. When we got involved in the war we joined up with Russia, and Europe and the other countries that was joined with them.

The conflict between the Allies and the Axis was a horrific and deadly one, which consisted of genocide and mass bombings. Innocent citizens were killed with the estimated sixty million casualties, which lead to the question as to the morality of the different actors—Germany, Japan, England and America— in WWII. In order to truly assess their guilt, meaning their moral innocence, each country will be measured upon the morality of their intent and execution of the different controversial mass killings that Germany (the Holocaust), Japan (Nanking), and the Allied forces (Dresden and Hiroshima) took part in. This hierarchy of evil can be judged upon how Japan’s tyranny and the Allies’ area bombing compare to the genocide performed by Germany. Similarly, these countries will be judged on the whether these different acts were premeditated versus in response to another act, as well as the proportionality to which these acts were carried out. This measurement of evil places each party on an overall scale, which depicts the total guilt that each country or countries deserve. WWII exemplifies that while war is an unavoidable aspect of human nature, there is no such thing as a just war. Similarly, while there is a definite hierarchy of morality between the different actors of WWII, each of the countries at play are immoral in their intent and execution of the attacks on opposing countries.
