The Japanese needed a couple of atomic bombs dropped on them before they surrendered...

Answer 4

To understand the strategies of the opponents in WWII, you have to understand how obsessed the Allies were with capital ships, mostly in the aftermath of WWI, and how little Hitler valued anything naval except his U-boats.

A key event in WWII was the Commando raid on St. Nazaire on March 28, 1942. Its huge dry dock, built for the SS Normandie, was the only German-held one on the whole Atlantic seaboard capable of taking the Tirpitz for repair. By putting it out of action, the Allies knew that if the Tirpitz left Norway to attack the North Atlantic convoys, it would have nowhere to run to, and could be outnumbered and sunk like the Bismarck had been.

The Allies expected Hitler to think this out, and they seemed not to understand that Hitler despised battleships and relied on his U-boats to defeat the convoys. There are many other aspects of the war where the Allies expected naval power to be decisive, and it wasn't. Of course, the whole war in the Pacific turned on naval power, at Pearl Harbor and Midway, but Hitler had nothing to do with that.

Answer 5

google the following: Audie Murphy / Dwight D. Eisenhower / Battle of the Bulge / D Day / Adolph Hitler / George S. Patton / Von Rommel / Nazi / Atomic bomb / Battle of Midway
You might also check out the History Channel on WWII information, they had a really neat show the other day on Nazi inventions during WWII, mainly the planes and jets during WWII... The Horton Brothers also invented the "Flying Wing" bomber that was the basic design for our B2 stealth bomber, they were theorizing on the show that if we hadn't slipped the Nazis false information on the Atomic bomb, and if they hadn't stopped their experiments towards that end, that they might have been able to A-bomb the US by March 1946...

Answer 6

the reason the war was so drastic was because there were fighting with:poison gas that caused agonizing burns and blisters, blinded or choked and if you didnt have a gas mask on u died , tanks and machine guns that killed many ppl a second(500 rounds per minute) the technology was so advanced they yhad never seen this b4 because they were used to battling it out w/ muskets.

the correct turning point was was tannenburg. that is wen ppl truly saw how difficult this war would be.

key ppl: archduke francis ferdinand of austria--imprtant,
Gavril princip,
big four: president wilson of the u.s., lloyd george, orlando of italy, clemenceau of france

these guys made the decisions in the paris peace conference, which blamed germany for everything, and made them pay for the war reparationswhich was... alot, plus cut up their country into all the littlecountries in europe today like yugoslavia, finland, lithuiania, and czechoslavichia and poland most important because it cut wat was left of germany in half and after the war still had this feeling of hatred inside and i dont blame them they were stripped of everything. pretty much this all happened in the treaty of versailles.
WW1 led into WW2

Answer 7

Battle of Normandy (D-Day). That was a key turning point in Europe for the defeat of fascism.
