Why the Allies Won WW2 This essay will be about world war two, and how the allies managed to defeat the axis powers. I believe the main reason the allied forces won the war is because the allied forces were producing more troops, goods, and other war materials faster than the axis powers could defend. The allied powers consisted mostly of the United Kingdom, United States, and the Soviet Union, while the axis powers consisted mostly of Germany, Italy, and Japan. In Europe, Germany and Italy tried to expand their forces to fast and too much and got spread out to quick. The battle of Stalingrad was a major turning point in the war, where the Germans were outnumbered and crushed.
Underlying Causes Of WWI World War I, also known as “The Great War” was an extremely bloody war that immersed Europe with huge losses of life and little ground lost or won. There may have seemed like there was a chain of events that led to the fighting, but the underlying causes of WW1 were Nationalism, Alliances, Militarism, imperialism and the assignation of Arch Duke Ferdinand. America tried there hardest to remain neutral and stay out of the war, but they were dragged in by force. Several incidents built up tension between nations before the outbreak of the First World War. Nationalism was one of the underlying causes of WW1.
As technology become more sophisticated so did the weapons therefore technology became a big part of this world war. Since technology was becoming more advanced at the time, a gun wasn’t just a simple fire arm anymore it became the most deadly piece of machinery ever dealt with. These guns could fire about 500-8000 rounds per minute. Before World War 1 a gun wasn’t that useful in battle because of how long it took to reload as well as the chances of actually shooting directly at your target were
Source W is very similar due to the fact that it blames Germany’s strengthening of the military and navy to a large extent, however proclaims their ‘peaceful intentions’; whereas source X dwarfs Germany’s contributions as a state, placing more responsibility for the outbreak of war on Austria-Hungary. Even though I believe that aggressive German Foreign policy was a huge and significant factor as to why the war grew so much geographically and became so violent, like source X, I believe that the real cause of the outbreak of the war in 1914 was Austria-Hungary and their policies in the Balkans. Aggressive German foreign policy is considered by many historians the main cause of the outbreak of war in 1914 due to their military and naval expansion which had taken place since the early 1900s. As source V suggests, the Germans ‘felt encircled’ by members of the triple entente, their only ally being revealed as Austria-Hungary at the Algeciras Conference where they were the only other country (aside from Morocco) to vote in their favour. Germany’s relations with other Great Powers had started to deteriorate since the battle for expansion of
This was most prevalent in Europe, where all the nations scrambled for colonies in Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Interestingly, colonies were most sought after at the height of industrialization. As the European countries were discovering more about the benefits of mass production, the demand and competition for more land, raw materials, markets and produce escalated quickly thus creating the tension that triggered the World War 1. The way most historians portray this cause shows that the imperialistic rivalries magnified in 1871, when France had to give up her resourceful provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany as per the peace Treaty of Frankfurt. Thereafter there were many such imperialistic rivalries.
The tanks, which was a newly developed piece of machinery, could have been used much more effectively had the right tactics been applied. Sending out only 24 tanks would not make a decisive difference to the battle and worse, the secret weapon was no longer a secret from the Germans. Haig, who commanded the British side at the time, kept going inflexibly
There were many reasons why the U.S. won Midway, but the main reason is intelligence. The U.S. code cracker’s intercepted a Japanese code in 1942 that described Midway being a trap. Without intercepting this message, the battle would probably have ended up much differently. The U.S. Navy decided
The Americans had a great importance in the Second Battle of Marne. They helped began because of Germany’s greed for power. There were also many other causes of World War One. Some causes of the World War one was nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. Nationalism was a unifying force, but it also led to intense competition between nations.
Britain had strong allies which cooperated with the nation well to achive victory against Germany.For example,the Colonies provided great manpower and supplied food.Also in 1917,U.S.A joined the war which provided great manpower and brought resources useful in war.However,Germany’s allies were practically useless. They did little to pressurize the enemies and unable to provide huge resources.Sometimes,Germany's obligations to assist its allies had a serious impact on the outcome of the war in the Western Front,since they forced the nation to transfer large amounts of manpower to other fronts,something which its allies did not do to the same extent.Also, the Italians changed sides as soon as war broke out which was unexpected and might have influenced the initial plans and strategies of the Central
The leadership of Radetzky was important to the Austrian army as his guidance was much better than that of Charles Albert’s.The Austrian army was also very well equipped with weapons while the Italian army was not. However, since all the Italian states couldn’t agree on what they wanted
