Ww2 Analysis

The Maxim-gun, an oil-cooled machine-gun designed by Hiram Maxim in 1884 that didn’t require hand-cranking or any other kind of manual intervention, had been offered to the British military by Hiram. However, the British High Command rejected the inventor’s offer, believing that there was no real need for it. The Germans, on the other hand, quickly grasped the strategic advantages that it offered and began developing their own version of Maxim’s design. Consequently, when the war broke out in 1914, Germany had a much greater arsenal of machine-guns. This is reflected by articles in The Sphere, which reported in 1914 that Germany had a new type of machine-gun with a telescopic sight, and The Illustrated War News, which noted that the weapon had revolutionised German artillery

I believe that World War II was a continuation of World War I because of some not resolved issues. Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles by expanding the military and invading Poland. One of the events that led to the beginning of World War 1 was: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism; which stands for MAIN. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia but they then joined up with Russia. After, Germany declared war on Russia which caused the war to expand. World War I ended in 1918 when Germany surrendered. It also had a great impact on European countries after it ended.

Prompt 1 Bourne's statement reflects accurately what the government hoped to do with its people. The War was something the president was hesitant to be involved in. In fact he declared America as neutral in the war on August 4, 1914 (Nash, 496). Many Americans especially young men had forgotten the hardship of war. Only remembering the Splendid Little War (Nash, 497) they were eager for action and adventure.

In the days of the Second World War, the United States was thrusted into being the primary provider of supplies whether it was food or steel. This presented many challenges; how would the U.S. truly get out of the great depression? How would the country amply provide a work force in a world where males dominated the labor industry, the same males that would go off to fight the war? To answer these questions, we must look at several sources such as Roosevelt's famous fireside chats, how the U.S. population at home aided the war effort and the role of minorities.

This essay illustrates and identifies the contributions made by Engineers during the Battle of the Bulge. The Battle of the Bulge (aka the Ardennes Offensive) was a major German offensive launched through the thinly forested Ardennes mountain region on the Western Front (History Net, 2015). Nevertheless, the battle ended up being a decisive allied victory, depleting an already weakened German army as both valuable reserves and equipment were lost. It will be discussed how the Engineers and their contributions affected the final outcome of the war as well as the future of the world itself. Additionally, the contribution U.S Army Engineer Regiment to help stop the German counter offensive in December 1944 will be assessed and evaluated.

Question #5: Because of what full-blooded Japanese were given honorary Aryan status in the German Empire?

Which weapons were created during WW2 and what was their impact on our society today? WW2 was a very industrious and devastating period in time, in which many weapons and massive bombs were manufactured to help win the war, killing many innocent people in the process. Some of the main innovations include infantry weapons, military vehicles, and a massive nuke called the atomic bomb.

The third WWII poster shows the negative stereotypes of the Japanese. It refers to the Japanese as “Murdering Jap”. This shows the stereotype that many Americans had about the Japanese. Many believed all from Japanese descent; even the ones born and raised in America were disloyal to the United States. This stereotype that all Japanese people are “murdering japs”, caused a dilemma in the United States. Consequently, the United States passed the Executive Order 9066, which allowed military officers to assign areas specifically for military purpose. This allowed military officers to assign areas for the Japanese-Americans. This showed the negative stereotypes of the perceived enemy, the Japanese.

In the books of history, World War II was the most widespread and by far the deadliest war ever recorded in history. According to “article by History.com” (2016), “the Second World War involved more than 30 countries in the world and was responsible for more than 50 million both military and civilian deaths”. (Para 1). The Second World War commenced by the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany lead by the famous Adolf Hitler and lasted for around six noxious years before both Germany and Japan were conquered in 1945. The battle in the World War II adopted various techniques during the war including the Navy, the Army and the Air Force. The major component however during the war was the air warfare that presented the major threats during the

During the years leading up to the United States’ entry into World War II, the state also faced the threat posed by the European dictators and the Japanese military clique. Wartime preparations lead to great economic dislocations and social tensions. Labor shortages, rationing, and finding enough transportation were only a few of the new challenges. The need to house defense workers became a high priority. Military training camps, shipyards, and aircraft factories also had to be constructed quickly. Nothing could be allowed to impede the speeding of planes, tanks, guns to the fighting front. California’s war industries drew workers from all parts of the United States. The state demolished its “bum blockade” formerly elevated against

Personal Response: These specific passages, show the agonizing and dreadful times of the holocaust during the World War II era. Both of these passages, highlight the idea of death, through the usage of chimneys which extinguishes burning, hot flames or in this case, gas chambers and crematories. The memoir gives a unique perspective of how many Jews died through the eyes of a holocaust survivor during that time period. Literary devices depicted in these passages include suspense and theme. Suspense is used, as the reader feels a sense of urgency when reading these passages and wonders if it is foreshadowing the fate of his family members. The major theme, seen in these quotes, is “Morality” as Elie must follow specific principles to save himself

The factors that played into the decision to use the bomb were overall reflective of America during the World War II era. The military factors in the decision reflected the nature of the war—specifically the Pacific Theater. The war was deadly, brutal, and dehumanizing to all those involved. Additionally, the military factors in the war demonstrated the lasting nature of the war and the effect of war-weariness that four years of total war caused on a nation. The racial factors reflected the overall racial attitudes towards those ethnically descended from the enemies in the war.

As we examine warfare from 1914 to the 1990s, we examine multiple tactics that include one lethal weapon, the tank. At the introduction to World War I during the Battle of the Marne trench warfare began to appear. A few months later a stalemate was in place and neither side could advance through the thick machine gunfire the moment a soldier stood. It became apparent that a reliable breakthrough vehicle was necessary to assault the heavily armed trenches that the germans dug. The weapon soon appeared as the tank, the tank was extremely heavily armed and armored with the weaponry that was required to break the stalemate during World War I. After the conclusion of World War I, Hitler's panzer army broke into poland and occupied the small country. During

“Hitler’s Army,” by Omar Bartov narrows in on the army. Bartov argues that this war was so horrendous because of the technological

This image is of a part of a building that was destroyed during bombing campaign. Railroad tracks, towns, villages an factories were destroyed during the years leading up to the end of World War 2. Many places in Europe were destroyed, in France about 500,000 building were destroyed. The USSR suffered the most damages with 70,000 villages destroyed, 1,700 towns and 40,000 miles of railroad tracks destroyed during the bombing. Destroying all these buildings left millions of Russian and Germans homeless. In Russia there were 25 million homeless and 20 million homeless in Germany. Not only did the war destroy millions of buildings, but also millions of people died during the war. There were about 36 million people killed in Europe during this
