The Battle Of The Allied Powers During World War II

It was the place were they had great success against the French people in the beginning of the war. The Germans also selected it because it was easy to hide troops in the hills which they did at the first major offensive. Hitler code-named this attack as the “watch am Rein” The Americans the area were in a thin line because they wanted to give support to the flank were the attack was expected so they thought.

The invasion of D-Day is the largest joint sea born invasion in the history of the world. Although very well planned, the amphibious landings were a gamble made by the Allied forces to gain foothold in Europe. Every American has heard about the Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe on D-Day. However, how many Americans stop and think about how much planning, preparation and luck that went into making it the success that it is remembered for? I will attempt to depict what it took to conquer the Normandy beaches using historical and military facts that make it such an iconic event in the world’s history still today.

During the First World War (1914- 1918) The United Kingdom was one of the Allied Powers, fighting against the Central Powers (the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria).

World War II, the second time of the world war, lasted from September 1th, 1939 to September 2th 1945. There were two difference alliances in the WWII, the Axis and Anti-fascist Alliance. The winner of the WWII was Allies, and there are many reasons that can explain why Allies can win it. The most important reason is that Allies gained most support from the public and citizens because Allies represented the justice side. However, there is also a crucial factor that helps the Allies to win the WWII which is the new invention and technology. Inventors made new weapons such as tanks, proximity fuses and atom bomb. The impacts of these weapons were positive to Allies in WWII and those new inventions make a big step of human progress.

The purpose of this invasion was to free Europe from the Nazis. It took place in Normandy and they were able to defeat the Nazis in about a week.

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.

Britain and France desperately awaited the moment when the US would fully join in the fighting in Europe during World War II, and D-Day brought that full fledged involvement. If not for the efforts of the United States of America, its cooperation and planning with its allies, the invasion would not have been successful. It was successful, however, due to previous planning, the level of supplies and men from the US combined with the European allies, as well as the divided German forces. D-Day was the beginning of liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. Hitler had known that in order for the Allies to be successful, there would have to be an invasion of mainland Europe - which his forces controlled most of - and that it would come from northwestern Europe, with Great Britain being the jumping off point. But if he was expecting the attack, why was he not better prepared? The planning that had gone into the invasion at the beaches of Normandy on the coast of France had been thorough and extensive, with a large part of that planning being the intentional disinformation about the location of the invasion, thus fooling the Nazi leader. These factors explain why Operation Overlord was successful, and thus became the turning point in the world war.

On September 1, 1939, there was a World War II between the Allies and Axis. The main Allies leaders were Joseph Stalin from the Soviet Union, Franklin D. Roosevelt from the United States, Winston Churchill from the United Kingdom, and Chiang Kai-shek from China. The main Axis leaders were Adolf Hitler from the Nazi in Germany, Hirohito from Japan, and Benito Mussolini from the Kingdom of Italy. WWII started when German troops invaded Poland and France was declaring a war against Germany. In May 7, 1945, Europe ended with Germany’s surrendering. The war end when Japan surrendered on September 2. 1945. In World War II, there was over 2.5 million African American that registered for the drafts. Only one million of them were accepted to served

The Allies used many tactics to help with the deception, like fake equipment, a phantom army, and fraudulent radios. June 5th was the original day for the invasion. Unfortunately bad weather caused the attack to be postponed until the next day. On June 6th, at dawn, the Allied troops invaded Western Europe from the sea. The Allied armies spent several months preparing for this large amphibious attack. In addition, air attacks were used to keep German forces from moving troops in to protect the

(Source B). The Allies had sent troops on the beach and they covered 50 miles of the land. This was the largest military assault in history (Source F). While the Americans were landing, strong tides swept them away and they did not have any cover to protect them. The number of Allies grew fast as incoming troops got involved. Two million men fought at Normandy. Germany could not send troops from France to assist since the tides were too strong for them to land, therefor they were not allowed to bring in more numbers from France. As Germany fought they began to lose the battle and the Americans pushed until they met with the USSR. This was the first time Germany was attacked. Most of the Nazis soldiers were just 16 years old and the Americans marched over them (Source C). The Germans fought a willing and difficult fight against the Allies. Airborne troops were shot down in Germany (Source

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

The Normandy Invasion may have been the single most important battle on the Western Front of World War II. Much planning went into the siege of these beaches that ensured a tough, but inevitable victory, as well as other factors, such as the exploitation of the Germans’ ignorance of the attack.

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.

Normandy Invasion – As the tension betweenGermany and theUnited States grew, it became obvious that a French invasion was crucial to liberate Europe and lay the ground work for defeating Hitler. Five beaches were stormed using the amphibious forces of theUnited States,Canada andGreat Britain.

A few primary goals for the Axis powers to invade North Africa. The first goal they had in mind was that of cutting off the Allies’ oil access in the Middle East. As oil was a big strategic advantage. Armies were becoming more modernized and they became more mechanized by oil powering. Another objective was the control of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was a valuable connection for Britain of its international rule. As well as providing a valuable link with the Mediterranean Sea (www.historynet.com). The ultimate goal for the invasion was to prevent the British from gaining too much in North Africa. War fired up in North Africa when Italy declared for war in 1940. Italy was a key piece to the puzzle for Britain’s control of the Mediterranean. If Italy would continue neutrality, Britain
