World War II question?

Question

What was the outcome, and what were the results?

I need detail (sorry) =]

Answer 1

Remember:
Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933. As many people know, he was a dictator. Germany annexed Austria and took it over. Great Britian, France, and Soviet Union protested. Hitler then planned to take Sudetenland, prat of Czechoslovakia, by force if necessary. Czechoslovakia had an alliance with Great Britian and France that obliged them to defend Czechoslovakia if attacked. The two countries, Great Britian and France, gave up the land to avoid war. The two countries assumed he would now stop. Hitler broke his promise and took over the rest of the land. The two countries declared war. That started World War II.

40 countries were involved in World War II. Below are some countries that were involved.

The Allies won. Main countries consists of:
-France
-Great Britian and its empire, including India and Canada
-Poland
-U.S. (from 1941)
-Soviet Union (from 1941)
-China

The Axis lost. They consisted of:
-Germany
-Soviet Union (until 1941)
-Japan
-Italy

How did the Allies win?
A: We dropped two atomic bombs onto Nagaski, Japan and Hiroshama, Japan.

The Aftermath:
Approximately 55 million people lost their lives in battles or on the home front. The worst affected are as follows:
1. Soviet Union, over 20 million deaths
2. Poland, lost one-fifth of its entire prewar population.
Six millions Jews lost their lives because of the Holocaust. All countries, except US, emerged from the war with cities ruined. Many factories and farms were destroyed. German and Japanese leaders were tried before war crimes tribunals, while many of their soldiers were held in prisoner-of-war camps for an extremely long time. Even though the Allies won, both sides lost extremely large amounts of people, citizens and soldiers.

Answer 2

World War II started primarily because the American people were unwilling to join the League of Nations at the end of World War I, thereby removing what would have been that organization's major military power. This led to, or allowed at least, Hitler's rise to power in Germany. There were several points at which he was thoroughly overextended and any kind of a show of force by the League or even just a few of its member nations would have put an end to his plans, but the other European powers continually caved in to him, appeasing him at almost every turn and allowing the territory, manpower and raw materials under his rule to continually increase. Then when the Friendship Pact between Germany and Russia was signed, his back was covered and he could attack, first Poland and then the countries to the west. American isolationism was the main cause.

Answer 3

I don't get you students. I am going to take a stab in the dark and assume you had this assignment and you waited until the last minute to do it. I refuse to give you any answers on this historical event. You need to research this information at a library and do some preliminary research on-line. The fact that you are being this lazy and not taking the time to do the work is going to be detrimental to you in the future if you are planning to go to college or university. Professors can spot crap if you copy any work from the Internet. Furthermore, there are ways for them to scan your paper and see that you have not done the work. In high school you just get an F for you stupidity if the catch you. In college or university you get plagiarized on you transcript and you will be kicked out of school. Do yourself a favour and get an extension on this paper and do it correctly from the beginning and don't leave your work till the last minute. This is advice you don't want to hear, but you need.

Your (Un-)Friendly Neighbourhood Teacher (and I am really a teacher

Answer 4

I agree with the unfriendly neighborhood teacher on this one. While I am certainly willing to help out a student who REALLY tried, REALLY doesn't get it and might need a little direction, such a blatantly obvious question as "what was the outcome of WWII?" really offends me as a teacher (and yes, I greet you colleague). Moreover, as a GERMAN teacher, I am doubly offended since you are talking about an extremely significant historical period for my discipline in particular. Were you MY student and tried to pull off this garbage, I would smell it for what it is and give you the F that I suspect you deserve.
Sincerely, your even more unfriendly German teacher

Answer 5

The Allies won........

That could take a long time and go in a hundred directions. Here are a few of the more common ones:

Saw the domination of Russia in Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Eastern Germany, etc. became puppet states of Russia). Which led to:
The start of the cold war.
NATO was formed to counter the Russians.
The reconstruction of Europe and Asia.
The US became the first Nuclear Super Power.
The US and other allies pirated German technology and scientists to help them expand their knowledge of Jets, Rockets, etc.

Answer 6

it was a natural end to the great depression and it included many of the men seen as the most important in history.
russia was under stalin and was the ussr, eventually we entered the cold war with them.
germany was divided up amongst the allies, great britain, united states, france, and russia.
we also divided up the capital, even though it was in russia's communist territory, which led to the berlin wall and the berlin airlift.
it also led to a baby boom in the united states after the men came home.
the dropping of the atomic bomb at hiroshima and nagasaki showed the world what nuclear weapons could do, and changed international diplomacy forever. the entire world was sent into a nuclear arms race.

hope it helps. =]

Answer 7

Germany started it all by taking over all of Europe (except England) and killing all the Jews. By the time England started getting bombed, the US sent aid over to defeat Hitler. America wanted to stay out of it at first until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and then the US, Britain and Russia ganged up on Germany and their allies and crushed them all.

I agree with the "un friendly teacher" down below alittle bit beacuse it is really a very,very interesting story you should research because it is more complicated than I wrote.

Answer 8

Another away win for England
England 2 Germany 0

OK
The war in Europe really took off with the invasion of Poland, both the U.K. and France had signed treatys with Poland so on the invasion declared war on Germany. The U.K. had already tried to head off the war with the then P.M. Neville Chamberlain meeting with Adolf Hitler in the early part of 1939. The British empire already fighting Japanese aggression in the Far east didn't really want to open a second front in Europe this lead to the famous peace in our time speech, however, within weeks Germany launched its attack on Poland and was started in Europe, at first there was no immediate fighting with the U.K. initially sending the BEF (British expeditionary force) to bolster defensive positions in Belgium and Holland.
Germany finally attacked leading the allies to believe he would come down through Belgium and as forces moved to interscept his main tank division came through the ardenne thus deviding the defenders best forces. The war in Europe in real terms last only a matter of weeks until Germany had captured Paris and all but the U.K. had surrended. From this point it is the British Empire forces in N. Africa that take the centre ground, until the Japanese decide to bomb Pearl Harbour, with this act America is dragged into the conflict as a combatant rather than a supplier.
Now with the combined might of the sleeping giant as the Japanese admiral who commanded the fleet that bombed Pearl harbour and the British Empire inroads into Europe were quickly planned. With the help of the U.S. forces in W.Africa, Field Marshall Montgomary was able to push the Italian and German forces out, thus enabling the Allies to open another front in Europe pusing up through Italy, meanwhile the British Empire was able to pull parts of its navy away from the Pacific and leave the U.S. there and take control of the Atlantic, thus depriving Germany of its sea lanes and opening up the resupply routes from America and Britains colonies.
From there it was only a matter of time before things were in place for operation overlord the eventual D Day landings which opened another front for the allies, this respite had come after Adolf Hitler had commanded his forces to execute operation Barborosa, which launched his offensive against Russia thus opening a third front, eventually this attack became bogged down in the Russian winter the cost in lives was above really anything imaginable at the start of the war, once Russia got to grips with the attack, D Day was a success the implosion was inevitable and but for a last strike across the ardenne in what became the battle of the Bulge Germanys days were numbered. By 1945 With the allies closing in on Berlin from all sides Hitler committed suicide and the was ended a few days later with an unconditional surrender by one of the few remaining commanders of Germany's armed forces.
Meanwhile in the Far East the combinded forces of the U.S. and B.Empire slowly started to recapture Island by Island, however, the process was slow going and the numbers of casualty's began to grow for each piece the closer they approached Japan the more tenacious and serious the fighting was as the Japanese believed it was unforgivable to surrender and would fight to the death. It was at this point that the Pres. of the U.S. committed his latest weapon, two of these devices were transported by ship to the region were they we're loaded onto bombers, Japan was told either to surrender or it would be bombed, they declined and the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, estimates given were 40,000 killed in the first day and 100,000 over the next few years, again Japan refused to surrender, and the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki with the same results, this however, forced the Japanes Emperor to surrender, and thus ended the second world war.

The results were to leave a void in different areas of the world the fact that Japan had kept China under its thumb for 2 decades had released a new threat which the west was initially unwilling to tackle, the threat of communism arising in Russia and China soon came to dominate world politics. With the ensuing cold war in Europe and the Iron curtain and the phoney war in the Far East and the bamboo wall, several countries were dragged into conflicts soon after the second World War with clash's in Indo China and the French colonies falling one after the other until the U.S. and the British Empire where dragged into it, from the end of the WWII the British Empire had started to fall apart in some part because America wanted imperialism to die a death and in others because each and every country of the Empire had paid a servere price during the 6/7 years of conflict which had gone on. So from this the British Commonwealth began, and from the 1950's onwards country's gained there independce from the Empire and became part of the commonwealth, which is all but a club.
The push by the communist countrys then took centre stage and dominated the world for the next neigh on 50 years.
