World War 2?

Question

What were some majors parts or turning points in this war? I have to do a timeline but I have no idea what the main events were. Please help!

Answer 1

Some major events were, well just go to wikipedia, but some were, the german invasion of poland, german invasion of france and the low countries, battle of britain, german invasion of the soviet union, pearl harbor, el alamain(not spelled corectly), battle of Stalingrad, battle of Midway, Battle of the Coral Sea, battle of Kursk, battle of Leyte Gulf, Battle Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Manilla, Invasion of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Bulge, Crossing of the Rhine, Destruction of the Ruhr, and the Battle of Berlin. Alot of those are not in order just off of the top of my head.

Answer 2

There was one in particular, that being the Battle of El Alamein in the North African Campaign. Up to that point the Germans had never lost a battle and afterwards never won one. In the Nurenburg Trials Goering said that Hitler privately believed that the War was lost with the D Day Landings on 6th June 1944 although publicly he preached victory until the defeat in May 1945 and his subsequent suicide. In the far East the sea battle, the Battle of the Midway was considered the turning point in the war against Japan.

Answer 3

Hitler invading Russia which was a huge mistake. Which ultimately led to his downfall.

MacArthur returning to the Phillipines which inspired American troops everywhere.

Hitlers loses in N. Africa and having to flee to Italy, etc. .

The Fire Bombing of the Ruhr valley - Dresden, etc. by the British RAF which immobilized Central Germany and greatly lowered the German moral.

The Invasion of Italy with Italy joining the Allies.

Naturally the June 6th, l944 invasion France by the Allies.

The Allies crossing the Rhine river into Germany.

The Russian advance on Berlin after retaking all the ground they had lost previously.

Hitlers suicide which for the most part shortened the war.

The unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.

In the Pacific theatre -

The Bombing of Japan by Doolittle with his B-25 Mitchell bombers flown off the Air Craft Carrier Hornet. - which let the Japs know that they were not invincible at all!

The Battle of Midway - Greatest Air and Ship Battle of the war!

The taking of the Island of Iwo Jima.
which placed our long range bombers within striking distance from Japan. with its picture on Mt. Sarubachi of the Americans putting up the Flag! (movie Flag of our Fathers) -

Enola Gays A Bombing of Nagasaki then two days later the A Bombing of Hiroshima - which ended Japans resistence to the war which ended days later.

Sorry I can not give you the exact dates of these events but their importance is such that I am certain you will be able to obtain them with very little ease.

Good Luck!
