The Battle Of The World War II

World War2, many events took place in history. In World War2,these events had most been written about the holocaust, ration books, Green Police, and the famous concentration and death camp of that time. In 1939, people started and needed to use ration books. German submarines attacked British and American ships, so many supplies had to be cut short. During this time, the Nazi created an organization of soldiers called “Gestapo” or “Green Police”. Later on, in 1945, Auschwitz was created and became famous for the deaths of thousands of people. While World War2 was going on, many events changed the lives of many people. Some of the events connected to the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” and characters.

On 15 January, Porter continued to be in position to provide their most massive bombardment yet in preparation for the attack. At noon, 1600 sailors and 400 marines executed the ground assault along the beach about a mile and a half north of the fort. By 1500 the marines’ new position was now unable to effectively provide cover for the ensuing assault and failed to keep the Confederate riflemen off the fort’s parapet. As 1500 passed, the sailors quickly became restless for the army’s attack signal. Not waiting for visual confirmation of the army’s attack as directed, 1600 sailors ran across the open beach, and the naval attack very quickly became a rout. The sailors with only their pistols and cutlasses were no match for the Confederate riflemen, canister, and grape. After only 20 minutes the assault was repulsed, with the men retreating in droves, leaving over three hundred dead or wounded sailors and marines. Many of the wounded were left to drown in the rising tide. This was not the outcome Admiral Porter’s had envisioned.

Confederates enter the war with a belief that would also sustain them during war years and ultimately shape the south after the war, a durable belief in their invincibility. Even after major turning points of the war, diehard Rebels continued to express a resilient belief in their invincibility. They were unconquerable and they truly stuck it about because they expected to win. Their ethos; beliefs of being highly favored children of God, attitudes of invincibility (homegrown and those spread through propaganda), patriotism, masculinity, and veteran comradery - on many different levels help to shape the war and the New South.

“Tis only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated ... that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation,” said Union General William Tecumseh Sherman at the end of our nation’s deadliest war, the Civil War. Determined to end the war after four long years, the Union called on Sherman to execute a controversial war strategy to defeat the Confederacy. His tactic, deemed total war by historians, aimed to bring the horrors of war to civilians in the heart of the South. Sherman’s focus on destroying the manufacturing, logistical, and farming bases that supported the Confederate soldiers and civilians, is viewed by many as heinous and unnecessarily brutal. The strategy

World War II, intensified tensions between two of the strongest countries in the 1940s, the United States of America and Japan. On December 7,1941, Japanese planes and submarines attacked the American Naval base at pearl harbor, one of America’s largest bases and the largest base in the Pacific Ocean.The attack caused serious damage to the base, taking out America’s strongest battleships, killing thousands of people, and destroying hundreds of planes. America officially enters World War II. The Battle of Midway was a crucial battle in a long line of other battles fought for dominance in the Pacific Ocean. The Battle of Midway was a turning point in World War II. It was the first decisive American victory and provided a morale boost for American troops after the Pearl Harbor attack.

After World War I legacy the Great Depression brought isolationism. The best work produced by President Roosevelt was the Four Freedoms; freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. President Roosevelt was the leader of the Allies, he used this statement as part of his Allies aim. The Soviet Union joined the Allies after being invaded by Germany. Millions of art were sold and reprinted as it publicizes the Four Freedom in 1943. In 1940s after tension between the United States and Japan over East Asia, on December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. There was no warning of this attack happening as a result United States declared war on Japan. The Good neighbors policy was, brought into place by President Roosevelt and Hoover in 1930s. This was a policy that would help the relationship between Latin American countries and the Unites States. The good neighbors policy would not only help the Latin countries but also the United States with trade and military.

Some of the ways that lead to the war were all the different revenue acts being passed England was taxing everything they could. The Colonies felt that England had no right to pass laws when the Colonies didn’t even have a voice in the government. The Colonies had no one representing them in the government, but England felt that the Colonies were only there because they allowed them to be; so why should the Colonies have representation in their government?

It is generally considered that the Pacific War began on 7/8 December 1941, when Japan invaded Thailand and attacked the British Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong as well as America’s state of Hawaii, where they bombed the military bases there. Australia entered World War II shortly after the invasion of Poland, declaring war on Germany on 3rd September 1939. By the end of the war, almost a million Australians had served in the armed forces, who fought primarily in the European theatre, North African campaign, and the South Pacific theatre. The Second World War saw the involvement of Australian troops more than ever and the closest to home. In addition, for the first time in history, attacks were aimed at mainland Australia. According to esteemed British author and military historian Antony Beevor, “The Second World War was such a huge combination of different conflicts that it’s almost impossible to point to a single battle as a turning point” During the war some turning points for the Allies were; The Fall of Singapore, The Bombing of Darwin, The Battle of the Coral Sea, The Battle of Midway and The Kokoda Campaign. The United States Forces also played a big role in the war in The Pacific Theatre and the turning points for The Australian Forces.

The Battle of Midway was one of the most important naval battles of WWII. This three day offensive between June 4th and 7th of 1942 inflicted irreparable damage on the Japanese fleet. The Japanese sought to eliminate the America as a strategic power in the Pacific, thereby giving Japan a free lane to establish a greater dominance on the Pacific hemisphere. The plan was faulty from the start due to American code breakers who were able to decipher the date and location of the attack, forewarning the U.S. Navy to set up its own ambush. After midway and the lost of the Soloman Islands, Japans shipbuilding and pilot training programs were unable to keep pace in replacing their losses while the U.S steadily increased its output in both areas due to the increased women labor force.

On December 7, 1941, the fate of the United States of America changed forever. At the time, the global conflict known as World War II had been brutally raging on for over two years. American forces had managed to stay out of the war. However, when the Japanese bombed the naval base in Hawaii, at Pearl Harbor, the Americans could no longer hold out. On December 7, 1941, the United States of America entered WWII (“Origins of the Normandy Landing”).

A soldier in World War II is on the battlefield fighting for his country. Suddenly he is captured and finds himself in a strange place. He realizes he is in now a prisoner of war camp in a foreign country, and he prays he is treated well and gets to go back home soon. World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved countries such as America, Germany, Japan, and Italy, just to name a few. There were millions of casualties, and every involved country suffered a loss. The Geneva Convention of 1929 set the standard for captured prisoner treatment; American camps took pride in following the Convention’s rules, but German camps, specifically Camp Berga, cut corners on inmate conditions.

One of the most unfortunate yet necessary aspects of leading a nation is facing the prospect of war. As devastating as war can be, it often is key to ensuring a nation 's freedom and protection. One war that was certainly devastating on both sides of the battlefield was World War II. The tension in the Japanese-American relationship had been boiling for a while, between the military blockade of Japan, and Japan’s intrusion into China in direct violation of the Open-Door policy, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was the exploding point for the War that would eventually lead up to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The weapons dropped on these two cities were used for a number of reasons, but ultimately this decision would end up

World War One was the cause of over eleven million military personnel deaths. Six million of those came from the side of the Triple Entente, or Allies. New fighting strategies that emphasized throwing more and more men into the fight only exacerbated the problem. Military leaders on the side of the Allies failed to adapt and sacrificed the lives of many that could have been avoided. Based on concrete evidence that was collected, this was a major factor in high casualty numbers during the war because of the use of outdated tactics, pre-determined mindsets of leaders, and the continued use of strategies that were ineffective.

World War II would shape the minds of a countless number of individuals whether they knew it or not. While war itself is horrible there are times where people feel that they have no other choice but to fight in one. WWII became one of those wars. The war was necessary and worth fighting at the time due to the aggressive nature of the German and Japanese cultures. However at the same time the war would produce a greater number of problems throughout the post war years with the invention of the bomb and Soviet tensions. Ultimately it appears as though Terkel takes a similar stance.

As the world knows, World War Two is among the most widely known historical events of our past. One of the major events that makes this time period so unique is the Holocaust which claimed the lives of around 11,000,000 victims most of which were those in the practice of the Jewish religion. A broad observation sure seems to be an eye opener, but what accounts for an even bigger shock was what you would find while taking a closer look on a more micro perspective. Many of the events in the world’s past that dealt with the elimination of a group of people were simply brushed off and ignored. And this in a large part was due to the disbelief that anything so extreme could be done by anyone. Anyone however holds more truth to it than it sounds as not every perpetrator came from a military or political setting. As we are human and possess the capability of education: from examples, what people teach us, and our personal experience. Christopher Browning, Jan Gross, Milgram, and Zimbardo, several significant individuals took it upon themselves to illustrate, illuminate, and help us understand the idea on the reasons involved, which drove so many people to be directly apart of one of the biggest number of killings recorded to this day, the genocidal attempt on the Jewish people.
