Ww2 Turning Point

My topic for this year 's National History Day project is on the turning points on World War II. This topic interested me because it tells you about all of the turning points in World War II. It also tells you about all of the different battles in the war and how they were categorized as turning points, research on this specific topic also tells you about what the battles were about and how they were caused or who caused them. This also teaches you about how the battles had ended and affected the people and who won the battles and what the major turning points of these battles were.

Why was the invention of penicillin so important in the context of WWII? What were some other advances in medicine that were

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.

There’s always a discussion or argument as to what the most important turning point in the war was. This is a very difficult question to answer because every important part of the war happened because of another important part of the war. But is there just one main turning point in the war or could there be multiple?

During any war, medical advancements are commonly made in response to the atrocities that take place during these bloody and gruesome times. World War II is no exception. During World War II, medical advances simply had to be made to keep soldiers alive. With all the victims of bullet wounds and diseases spreading around, treatments had to be invented or advanced. I chose this topic because science and medicine is very fascinating to me and I want to become a doctor when I grow up. During the war, penicillin, sulfanilamide, atabrine, plasma, and morphine were used in abundance and saved a countless number of lives.

You can hear the shots echo off the oak trees. You feel the cold air against your back, the cold trigger on your finger. You can see the gray uniforms across the forest, the puffs of smoke after every shot. You smell the gun smoke, and it smells of charcoal. You taste blood from your lips. You’ve been biting down on them the entire time. You are standing in a battlefield of the bloodiest and most painful war in American History. This war may have been the bloodiest, but it also may be the most important in the development of the United States. The Civil War was the turning point in a developing America, from 600,000 Americans dead, to the 13th Amendment and the abolishment of slavery, and then the Homestead Act.

The wonderful discovery of Penicillin, a medicine that was discovered in 1928. This medicine was used to cure bacteria in humans. Penicillin had good results not only in the 1928, as it also still is very successful today. Penicillin had a big impact, it cured many people in the U.S. during World War II. penicillin,leads to the development of others antibiotics.

     World War II turning points are much more important than penicillin. If there were not any breaks for the American troops, then there would have been many more lives lost in the war than needed. Possibly, there would be more lives lost in the fighting than saved by penicillin in its fist two decades of public use.

World War Two, a harsh period of time in the 1930s-1940s, filled with controversial arguments, political battles, fights to the death, but most importantly, medical advancements. Did you know that without the research and discoveries made during World War Two, our medical programs would probably be lacking the information we have today? It’s very true, and in my opinion, the war strengthened our medical abilities, and it really put our world to the test. New medicine had been discovered, while old medicine had been improved; horrible medical experiments performed by the Nazis occurred during this time; but most importantly, World War Two has affected our medical programs that we have presently. These

D-day, it was the turning point in the war. It is when the allies took the beach of Normandy and was the entrance into France. It was one of the biggest and most bloody battle in American history.

One of the medical improvements during World War Il was penicillin. We also had a

June 6th 1944, D-Day, was the turning point of WW2 due to the success of the invasion of Normandy, France. The invasion was given the ok by General Eisenhower (later known as President Eisenhower). The invasion would be taken to the beach fronts in Normandy (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword). From the beaches the troops would advance forward, where american soldiers would fight in one of the deadliest battles, The Battle of The Bulge. After the battle troops would move toward France and liberate the french from the Germans.

In World War 2, there were many significant events. Many had an effect on other events. The top 3 most significant events in World War 2 would be Pearl Harbor, D-Day and Operation Barbarossa. Each one is important and had a huge role and effect in World War 2. However, in my opinion all were significant.

There has been a lot of discussion about World War I, also called ‘The Great War’ or ‘The War To End All Wars’, and what specific turning points in the progress of the war were crucial in determining the victory of the Triple Entente (“The Allies”). This reaction paper referring to Chapters 15- 26 in the book “The First World War – A Complete History” from Martin Gilbert is going to analyze the reasons of the Central Powers going from being close to triumph to complete collapse and eventual defeat.

We all have turning points in our life that affect everything else and end up shifting things in a different way. Many different events happened during the World War 2, and they changed and made big impacts that ended up changing how things ended up. The two major events that occurred during WW2, were the two battles which were the battle of Stalingrad and the battle of Midway.
