This would include not bringing very important bombs and mortar shells and heavier guns, these weapons were close to or equivalent to the German artillery. After this event the allies made sure to correct their tanks and ended up inventing the “Crocodile” and the “ Duplex-Drive” which were a big success for many raids. Although the raid on Dieppe seemed like a big failure, it actually set an example of what not to do, and taught many people valuable lessons. It is well argued that without these mistakes future raids would have been an ultimate failure. this is also recongised in the words of Mountbatten: ‘that for every live lost at Dieppe, ten were save at
The Schlieffen plan predicted a quick victory over France within six weeks, which was the estimated time it would take Russia to fully mobilise. After this both sides dug in and the ‘war of movement turned into a ‘war of Attrition’, essentially a stalemate, where one side would advance, be pushed back and then the other in successive waves. The weapons used by both armies were also more suited to defence than attack, this made breakthrough for either side difficult. Barbed wire was cheap and easy to produce, but very hard to penetrate. It was often up to 20m
However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country. Henry's father, Henry VII, left the country in quite a stable state economically, but Henry devoted most of England's money into his campaigns to take over France, because he believed had a right to the Throne. To some extent source 4 supports the idea that the foreign policy did fail due to the lack of resources, because it states that “the young warrior family accepted the fact that royal finances could not support a repetition of the campaign of 1513”. This quote implies that the lack of resources seems to be the dominant reason for stopping Henry from invading France and therefore source 4 supports the statement to some extent. In source 4 we also learn that much must have depended on diplomatic relations with Maximilian and Ferdinand, however Henry’s allies proved unfaithful and unreliable.
I do agree of dropping the bomb because it did save a lot of lives. Franklin Roosevelt was trying to find a way to end the war very fast. Then Truman had to end Roosevelt’s idea of winning the war fast. Truman wasn’t looking for a way to not use the atomic bomb. The United States wanted to end the war fast because we wanted the lowest amount of casualties.
I thought they would have won this battle by now, seeing how powerful the U-boat is. However, Germany is still in control of this attack. Clearly all these men are gladiators like Ares. I thought this power was used in a good way. The U-boat could have avoided them, but at what cost?
Despite having an alternative which was to gradually stop the war by attacking the Japanese, it would have taken much longer and more people would have died. The US wanted to end the war instead of causing immense suffering to many. Instead, they did it abruptly for the greater good saving many more. This is because the Japanese would not surrender regardless of the circumstance due to their code of Bushido, thus continuing their reign and them constantly gaining more power. On one hand, dropping the bomb freed thousands of Americans from Japanese captivity, but on another, it caused people physical and emotional trauma.
the Germans wisely selected ridges and high terrain for fortified defences the higher ground chosen gave the Germans tactical advantages and much better living conditions. The French British and the Canadians dug their trenches in lower terrain that was usually only a few feet above sea level so they got the rats mud lice and the worst of it. Reality set in when the trenches were dug that it was going to be a long war any chance of it being over by Christmas was dashed. While it is true that the start of World War One was greeted with vast amounts of patriotism throughout Europe and the Empire, there were those who were pacifists and refused to have anything to do with the war. The pacifists were few in number (the UK had about 16,000 in total during the war) and would have had no impact on the number of fighting men Britain had in the lead up to conscription.
Churchill was known to be an excellent speaker. In order to defend the morale of the country, Churchill highlighted the positive parts of the operation. By saying it was a “miracle” it suggest to us that Dunkirk was not an easy battle to fight and evacuate the army in order to defend their country however, the British did this very well and evacuated as much as possible to safe their country. Dunkirk is referred to as a "miracle" simply because the Germans should have, and could have, easily wiped out the British expedition. The German high command halted as the army was about to go for the kill (on orders from Hitler who at times would lose his nerve temporarily).
Luckily, by the time that World War II came about protective masks called, gas masks had been invented. This resulted in a decrease of use in World War II compared to World War I, however it did not totally destroy the effort (“Poison Gas and World War Two”). There were many different purposes for gas warfare during World War I and II, gases could do anything from merely disabling soldiers, to killing hundreds at a time. The reasoning behind gas warfare was that it was something easy to use, but yet highly effective. The French were truly the first to use gas warfare, but many only know Germany’s usage as the first.
The well-trained modern Italian forces had been defeated by backward, poorly equipped Abyssinian tribesmen. It was absolutely humiliating to have such a military record, revenge and final defeat would restore Italian pride. This would also be a distraction to the people of Italy, to take their mind of the Great Depression, which at this point was in full swing. Though Italy was not suffering nearly as much as countries such as USA, but they were still struggling. This war would give them purpose, and a sense that they were indeed moving forward, that this economic crisis was not their end.
