America, despite its efforts, could not remain neutral and was forced to enter World War 1. Germany did not respect America’s decision to stay neutral and purposely sunk their ships in the British Isles. They sent the Zimmerman Telegram uniting other countries against America. Lastly, they blockaded British ports and prevented American trade with France and GB. Over 100,000 Americans died during WW1, but were rewarded with patriotism, an Allie victory and trade which once again
Describe the operations used by the Allies to defeat Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, ultimately resulting in the unconditional surrender of each power. D day, battle of stalingrad, To attain the unconditional surrender of both Italy and Nazi Germany, The Allies relied on well planned and well timed operations. The surrender of both of these powers did not come easy or because of and one specific event, but rather a string of battles that wore down the Axis powers in Europe. Some operations however could be known as “ the straw that broke the camels back”. One in particular that really hit the Germans hard towards the would be end of WWII was the Battle of Stalingrad.
It was in the Dynamo room where British Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsey planned out Operation Dynamo and updated Sir Winston Churchill along the way. [3] Due to wartime censorship and the want to keep the British morale up, the full degree of the disaster around Dunkirk was not published. The initial plan was the recovery of 45, 000 troops from the British Expeditionary Force within two days. [4] They expected the German forces would be able to block further evacuation. Britain expected the Luftwaffe would be the main force to block the evacuation.
The Germans, who continued making territorial gains (marked 2), eventually began aiding the pro-Tsarist White Russian forces, attempting to stem the very revolt they had helped to foster. However the damage to the Russian infrastructure was too great, and the "White" Russians were eventually forced from power by the "Red" Communists. The treaty of Brest-Litovsk was finally concluded with the new Bolshevik government on March 3, 1918, stripping their country of all provinces west of the Ukraine. That treaty was annulled by the Armistice of November 11, and the new government in Moscow eventually re-established its presence in all of the previously held lands. Ironically, one of the lasting actions by the Bolsheviks was the attempted indoctrination of German prisoners-of-war.
They were met with little resistance from German forces throughout the rest of their tour in Europe. Victories in places such as the concentration camp at Dachau lifted the allies in the war and helped control territory that was to be liberated from German control. Although the Company had endured great hardships and won battles where the odds were stacked against them their final mission would be a great one. Berchesgaden, is where the company executed their last mission in seizing Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. With the last stronghold of the SS and German army taken and under ally the war was soon won after Japans surrender which quickly followed the events in Berchesgaden.
This group’s aim was to spread anti-Asian propaganda and influence legislation restricting Asian immigration (Japans Pacific Onslaught). Along with racism towards immigration, Japan felt as if though they were treated inferior to the United States during the Russo-Japanese War. Japan had defeated the Russian Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. It was the first naval defeat by an Asian power of a Western power in that period. (Vat) After that, Japan continued its naval expansion after World War I.
This was done for protection for the country and not to create harm to the Japanese, unlike the Nazi’s goal to create a pure Arian race. After the ever decreasing association between Japan and the United States, their heartless attack on Pearl Harbor only depleted the relationship even more. The attack on Pearl Harbor was an undignified and startling attack on December 7, 1941. This was the beginning of the second world war, a war that would change the entire modern-world. The Japanese created a surprise attack on the United States using Japanese bombing planes.
Dulffer argue that holocaust was above all due to Hitler, “but to recognize that this is not to free from blame the hundreds thousands of others who were involved in carrying out the Holocaust”Dulffer. Goldhagen says that "hitlers ideal was broadly shared by germany”goldhagen. The bureaucracy was involved and had massive collaborations with the SS, the civil service, army, and the business corporations.

Even though that speech failed Roosevelt somehow managed to argue for neutrality but at the same time convince Congress to start building up the arms and increase the military and naval budget by nearly two-thirds in 1938. To keep their promise to Poland Britain and France declared war on Germany when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. In 1940 France fell after a week, leaving the only all that still remained free of German control was Great Britain. Americas started to become alarmed by the speed of the Nazi regimes conquering country after country. With Roosevelt believing that Great Britain was their key for America’s security the U.S. policy started to change.
Why were the Germans defeated in World War Two between 1941 and 1945? By Katie Goodwin The Germans (along with Japan) were defeated in World War two by the allied forces; the USA, the UK and the USSR. These were not natural allies, they have different political beliefs, the USA and the UK were Capitalists with USSR as communists, and they only became allies because they had a common enemy, the axis. The war stretched between 1st September 1939 when Hitler and the Nazis invaded Poland causing the UK and France to declare war, until the Russians reached Berlin causing Hitler to commit suicide and Germany to surrender on 7th May 1945 then Atomic Bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 14th August causing the final surrender of Japan. The mistakes that occurred by the Germans assisted the axis empire to be defeated, some examples of these errors are attempting to fight the war on multiple fronts, deciding to attack Russia as well as being at war with the USA as both of these countries could easily outnumber and surround the Nazis although Germany may have had little choice in fighting the USA as Britain was their closest ally and they would have got involved to defend their friend and Russia was planning to enter the war a few months after she was attacked anyway.
