The Events Of 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.

The mountain men were known for their explorations and fur trapping in the Rocky Mountains and the great plains from about 1810 to 1880. Outside of their explorations and trapping, the Mountain Men also created Emigrant Trails which allowed Americans of the East to settle in the West. To some they [mountain men] symbolized the rugged freedom of the frontier, to others, anarchy and degradation. The debate surrounding mountain men was, at its core, really a debate about the nature of the West: was the frontier the site of healthy independence or dangerous dissolution? Through the rising and crashing of the trappers ' rendezvous in the 1840 's and the scarce enemies that the mountain men had, Christopher "Kit" Carson, Jim Bridger, and James "Jim" Beckwourth continued to lead the explorations and trappings in the Rocky Mountains making clear that those men were there promoting healthy independence across the frontier during the 1840 's.

“West Virginia was chosen for this training school because of the terrain was similar to Italy and its Apennine Mountains which was where the soldiers were headed next. Roughly 180 men and officers went through this school every two weeks to learn alpine combat techniques. The training included easy rock scrambling to extreme tension with pitons. It also included the use of assault ropes and pulleys. Each group made two tactical night climbs on unfamiliar rocks. (Bob Downing, Akron Beacon Journal (MCT)

On the morning of October 7, 1780, Campbell’s men reached Ferguson’s position and quietly approached the base of the mountain. The sound of the horses’ hooves muffled, the ground softened from the night’s rain. (Jones, 2009) Campbell faced a challenge, Ferguson’s campsite located at the southwest end of the mountain ridge dropped to a narrow “hogback” (U.S. Army War College, 1928) which gradually descended approximately 400 yards that ended in a steep drop to the highway. Campbell had to form a plan of attack. Campbell had no choice but to have his men leave their horses at the base of the mountain and ascend to the top of the mountain on foot. Campbell knew he had one advantage over Ferguson, the element of surprise and the knowledge

The United States Army Garrison Ansbach is no stranger to change. The first American Soldiers from the US Army 101st Calvary Group who occupied Storck Barracks in April 1945 would undoubtedly be astounded at what the future would bring and proud of the garrison’s 70 year role as a guarantor of European stability and global security. The changes and challenges facing us now are unparalleled in the history of this storied organization.

Mountain Men came to exist throughout the 1800’s but were at their peak between 1830 to 1850 mainly because of the Fur Trade. There was never a large number of mountain man to exist. Who can blame them? Living this sort of lifestyle was never easy; even for those who have acquired the knowledge needed to survive. They faced many obstacles while traveling from place to places such as extreme temperatures, starvation, and attacks from Indians and Grizzly bears. They played a large role in the fur trade and had a very

The Devil’s Brigade, also known as the 1st Special Service Force, was a Canadian-American unit trained in mountaineering, airborne, and close-combat skills that operated mostly in Italy and France. They excelled at close-quarters combat with numerically superior forces.

If a blueprint existed to create the perfect “mountain man,” that blueprint would be called Jim Bridger. The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office believes Bridger “had few, if any equals as a mountain main, guide, and entrepreneur.” Bridger may have ended his life a well-known figure, but before all that he was born March 17, 1804, (Encyclopedia.com) and would later be “handicapped by a frustrating shyness,” (Alter 1986, 6).

On Friday, May 10, 1861, Johann Voss drills with the rest of his 2nd Regiment on the grounds of the Marine Hospital. This is their usual practice in the morning. They drill for two hours under the watchful eye of their commander, a five-year veteran of the Austrian army, Colonel Henry Boernstein. (L174) (L175) (L272)

The “mountain men” were a group of people that lived or explored on the frontier from about the early 1800’s to the early 1870’s. They were the toughest of the tough of the time living on the brink of life and death every day with life expectancies never exceeding more than 10 years after moving out to the wilderness. Some of them would either move out to the edge of where people had not brought infrastructure to the wilderness and build houses, work for the military as a scout to map and explore the wild so they could build bases or raid native villages, or living sometimes living in native villages learning their culture and language to help U.S.-Native relations. People like Hugh Glass who traveled cross country over 200 miles on his hands and feet and survived being mauled by a bear and abandoned by his partners, Jim Bridger who stayed with glass for a time, was one of the first of the white people to see yellowstone, John “grizzly” Adams who used the largest bear trap for the time to capture a live bear and later tame it and catch and train a variety of animals for local circuses are some of the

In conclusion the 12th CAB has been a unique and impressive force in the United States Army arsenal and has always been above the call in every mission. From its introduction back in 1956, to over 10 operations they have participated in to include the four meritorious award and two crosses for outstanding achievement in Vietnam, Asia, Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army will continue to shift, downsize and restructure throughout the coming years but the lineage that is the 12th CAB will continue to reign strong in Europe, Middle East and the United States of America.

World War II was one of the most powerful wars the world has ever had. It was also one of the largest conflicts there has ever been. It was known as a “world war” because nearly every country in the world was involved. There were many tragic and chilling events throughout the war that were very significant. The war was known as one of the most disastrous wars of all time because of what the nations put each other through. Many innocent lives were taken during this mournful war. About 50 million troops lost their lives fighting in the war. In Nazi Germany nearly 9,000,000 troops were killed. 42,000,000 troops were killed in the Soviet Union. 4,000,000 were killed in China and 3,000,000 were killed in Japan. Although nearly every country was

From 1939 to 1945, the deadliest and most destructive war in history, known as World War II, was in full motion. Prior to the war, the economy was very poor in both the U.S. as well as Germany with unemployment at an all-time high due to inflation. During this time Hitler was persistant in occupying Europe and eventually taking over the world, forcing surrounding countries to step in and stop this insane man. Countries that opposed Hitler and his beliefs, like America, France, and Britain were part of the Allied powers in contrast, Japan and Germany were part of the Axis Powers. Once the war started in Europe, Franklin Roosevelt began to realize that the conflict would threat U.S. security so he began to investigate alternative plans that would benefit the cause without putting the U.S. directly in the war. Though the war began with Nazi Germany 's attack on Poland in September 1939, the U.S. stayed neutral until a surprise attack from Japan on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941 killing over 2,000 sailors and wounding 1,000 more. And though the Japanese thought the U.S. wouldn’t be able to build ships fast enough to continue to help Allies after the destruction, therefore allowing Germany to takeover the UK, but to their surprise, the ambush wasn’t as destructive as they thought and the U.S. Navy was ready to retaliate within twenty-four hours. Retaliation was on everyone’s mind so with the approval from Congress, the following day, with only one member opposing it, the United

Photography makes the first five minutes effective by using drones and helicopters through the mountains so you can see how huge they are and to show that it would have been really difficult to climb, it was also used so you could see how big the landscape was. The documentary starts with green mountainous scenery, dramatic cliffs, valleys and ridges. It appears to be an incredible/vast area of mountains. It ends with the view of the mountain to be climbed – an impressive peak covered in snow and ice.
