The Allied victory in Europe was achieved through a multi-pronged strategy. The Allies first decided to focus on defeating Germany before Japan, believing Germany posed a greater threat. This led to Allied invasions of North Africa and operations in the Mediterranean region. Major Allied victories then followed, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the Soviet defeat of German forces at Stalingrad. Finally, with Allied forces pushing into Germany from both east and west, the Nazis surrendered unconditionally on May 8, 1945, marking victory in Europe for the Allies.Ch 18 Sec 2 European Theater

Germany then bombed Britain for over 3 months but failed to break the Royal Air Force.

The US entered World War 2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 16 million Americans joined the military and women joined the workforce, taking on jobs previously held by men. Japanese Americans on the west coast were forced into internment camps during the war. In the European theater, the US prioritized defeating Hitler. Key operations included invading North Africa and Sicily, establishing a beachhead in Normandy on D-Day, and defeating the final German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge. Germany surrendered on V-E Day in May 1945.Powerpoint 1

Following WWII, Europe and Asia underwent significant changes - Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western allies and Soviet Union, while the US took sole responsibility for rebuilding Japan and establishing a new democratic constitution under General Douglas MacArthur. Meanwhile, the Cold War emerged between the capitalist West led by the US and the communist Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union, which exerted control over countries behind the Iron Curtain and cut off access to West Berlin until the US launched a massive airlift of supplies; this instability continued with the outbreak of the Korean War as North Korea invaded South Korea across the 38th Parallel boundary.Ch 24 sec 4

The Philippines were an important US base until the Japanese forced the surrender of US forces in April 1942. This led to the infamous Bataan Death March where thousands of Filipino and US prisoners of war died. In the Pacific Theater, the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway turned the tide in favor of the US by stopping Japanese naval advances. The US also fought major battles to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa to reach the Japanese mainland. Meanwhile, the Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 after Japan refused to surrender, leading to their surrender and the end of the war.Ch. 20 wwii

Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and the Sudetenland without resistance. At the Munich Agreement, Britain appeased Hitler by allowing the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but Hitler soon invaded Poland, starting World War 2. Germany had early success using its new Blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France. Though the British rescued troops from Dunkirk, Britain stood alone against Germany until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, opening a second front.Lesson #6 wwii
