The War Of The World War II

The Battle of the Somme epitomizes the harsh realities of trench warfare for the Allies and represents the negligent battle planning and technological advancements that are associated with the stalemate of World War One. Trench warfare was common across the Western Front, with similar strategies being employed by both opposing sides. Sir Douglas Haig, one of the British coordinators for the Somme offensive is blamed with an offensive strategy destined for failure. The British offensive, an utter failure, resulted in a stalemate, which was common throughout World War One. The British development of the tank, while it eventually ended the horrendous stalemate, was ineffectively used during the Somme.

To explain the main features of trench warfare we must look at all the points the trench design, the modern technology etc. Trenches were designed in a specific way. They were built in a zigzag fashion to accommodate for bombs destroying them. If a bomb did hit them then only a corner of the

World War II was a period in history which contained a motley of quarrels and conflicts. General Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower played a significant role in the theatre of World War II. In the conflict, General Eisenhower served not only as a 5 star general in the the United States Army, but also served as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe. As a _____ leader, General Eisenhower coined the historical term “military-industrial complex”, and also led several pivotal conflicts(??) throughout the course of the war, some of which include the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch (1942-1943) and the invasion of France and Germany from the Western Front in Operation Overlord (AKA D-Day).

“A date which will live in infamy” occurred seventy-three years ago on December 7th [1]. An unsuspecting United States naval base located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii housed the U.S. Pacific Fleet and was attacked by 353 Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes [2]. The destruction of that unforgettable day included eight battleships, three cruisers, three destroyers, 188 aircrafts, 2,403 American deaths, and 1,178 wounded [3]. The “sleeping giant” was awoken, war was declared, and America was radically altered from that day forward [4].

Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold,   Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill.

World War II involved the vast majority of the world 's nations consecutively between the years of 1939 and 1945. WWII altered the political alignment and social structure of the world. WWII began far before the invasion of Poland. Beginning with the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash together aggressively pushing Germany in despair for economic and political revival. With the defeat of WWI, by The Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to accept responsibility for the war damages, paying massive sums of money called “reparations”. The amount of money required exceeded the financial funding needed in order for German to flourish through the destruction. The treaty ruined the German economy, allowing people to starve, and brought the government to utter chaos. In this deposition a man by the name of Adolf Hitler became the savior of the German people. Allowing Germany to take back what was rightfully theirs before the battles of obliteration.

One of the most unfortunate yet necessary aspects of leading a nation is facing the prospect of war. As devastating as war can be, it often is key to ensuring a nation 's freedom and protection. One war that was certainly devastating on both sides of the battlefield was World War II. The tension in the Japanese-American relationship had been boiling for a while, between the military blockade of Japan, and Japan’s intrusion into China in direct violation of the Open-Door policy, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was the exploding point for the War that would eventually lead up to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The weapons dropped on these two cities were used for a number of reasons, but ultimately this decision would end up

World War II was one of the most powerful wars the world has ever had. It was also one of the largest conflicts there has ever been. It was known as a “world war” because nearly every country in the world was involved. There were many tragic and chilling events throughout the war that were very significant. The war was known as one of the most disastrous wars of all time because of what the nations put each other through. Many innocent lives were taken during this mournful war. About 50 million troops lost their lives fighting in the war. In Nazi Germany nearly 9,000,000 troops were killed. 42,000,000 troops were killed in the Soviet Union. 4,000,000 were killed in China and 3,000,000 were killed in Japan. Although nearly every country was

In the early parts of the twentieth century the world was turned upside down in the wakes of the deadliest war it had ever seen in 1914. For the first time, science was playing a large part in the makings of the war, with the invention poison gasses being thrown into the war field. And then, to make matters worse, in 1939, Germany invaded Poland to spark the second of the World Wars. Germany was on a seemingly unstoppable track to take over Europe, and countries such as France and England were always being caught in the middle of the violence by trying to help their allies involved. Because of these wars, the moral of England was something that many authors had the ability to represent and express through their writings. Even the post war

From 1939 to 1945, the deadliest and most destructive war in history, known as World War II, was in full motion. Prior to the war, the economy was very poor in both the U.S. as well as Germany with unemployment at an all-time high due to inflation. During this time Hitler was persistant in occupying Europe and eventually taking over the world, forcing surrounding countries to step in and stop this insane man. Countries that opposed Hitler and his beliefs, like America, France, and Britain were part of the Allied powers in contrast, Japan and Germany were part of the Axis Powers. Once the war started in Europe, Franklin Roosevelt began to realize that the conflict would threat U.S. security so he began to investigate alternative plans that would benefit the cause without putting the U.S. directly in the war. Though the war began with Nazi Germany 's attack on Poland in September 1939, the U.S. stayed neutral until a surprise attack from Japan on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941 killing over 2,000 sailors and wounding 1,000 more. And though the Japanese thought the U.S. wouldn’t be able to build ships fast enough to continue to help Allies after the destruction, therefore allowing Germany to takeover the UK, but to their surprise, the ambush wasn’t as destructive as they thought and the U.S. Navy was ready to retaliate within twenty-four hours. Retaliation was on everyone’s mind so with the approval from Congress, the following day, with only one member opposing it, the United

A clash of beliefs. One minute a team fighting together during World War II, the next, enemies threatening to wipe one another off the planet. This is what the Cold War could have led to. With resentment and tension high, even back before the start of World War II, both sides had done everything short of a nuclear war. The United States had long been concerned about the idea of communism and Russian leader, Joseph Stalin. Even during their time as allies, one would never trust the other. This was especially true once Stalin had gotten word of a weapon the United States was planning to use on Japan. This, and the fear of the Soviets capabilities, led to multiple tactical strategies by the United States. Opportunities were exploited everywhere in the hopes of expanding their beliefs and ideas versus those of the USSR. This meant propaganda,

The powerful question still haunts people 70 years after the war’s end: could Adolf Hitler have been deterred from launching the Second World War? Only two decades after the Great War, the greats of the globe were launched once more into a world war. As Germany’s primary opponent, France and Great Britain felt the brunt of casualties of the deadliest war the world had seen by far. They were weakened economically, politically and militarily and unable to stop the nihilistic, yet charismatic, leader of Nazi Germany.

Is it really worth letting your family suffer, while you fight for your country’s freedom? The love for family appears, in most cases, to be less important than victory against another country. In hope for fighting hard for their country, the soldiers have forgotten all the fears that their family faces. According to the Untold Stories of Loss: Mourning the ‘Enemy’ in Second World War, the families would experience “a constant dread of receiving a telegram announcing the injury, missing status or capture, or death of a husband, son or father." Why help to fight World War II when you know the pain that it endures on your family? In the middle of World War II in 1939, a photographer captured a commemorative picture of a soldier/father kissing his daughter goodbye before her dad leaves Britain. Not only does the photograph show the impacts that World War II had on families, but also the strong bond between a father and a daughter. The soldiers need to reflect on which is more important, the love for your family or victory for your country. A family bond is unbreakable and should be placed above war victory in all situations.

Historically, the World War II is considered to be the most bloody and brutal military conflict in mankind history. Furthermore, it is the only war in which there was use of nuclear weapons by Americans against Japanese in 1945. In fact, it was fought by 61 countries. Start and end dates of the war September 1, 1939 and September 2, 1945, which are among the most significant dates for the entire civilized world.

The First World War left massive destructions in the world since many people lost their lives and even property. These massive destructions were as partly as a result of the introduction of new war weapons, for example, machine guns and gas warfare. This war was majorly between Germany and the Allied power but Germany was blamed for the destructions that came about because they are said to have initiated the war (Kissinger, 2014). These destructions made people have a lot of fear towards any kind of war and nobody wished for any war to start again because people feared losing lives and property once again. It is said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Western Front particularly lost their lives in this war.
