1) In June 1944, U.S. forces had major victories over the Japanese at the Mariana Islands and captured Saipan, gaining crucial air bases.
2) The Allied invasion of Normandy (D-Day) took place on June 6, 1944, with airborne and amphibious assaults across five beaches in German-occupied France. This was a massive operation and turning point in the war.
3) The Allies faced heavy resistance and casualties at Omaha Beach but succeeded in gaining a foothold, eventually liberating Rome and pushing the Germans back across Europe over the following year.
World War II had devastating impacts across the globe from 1939-1945. It began as tensions rose in Europe with the rise of dictators like Mussolini in Italy, Franco in Spain, and most aggressively Hitler in Germany. Hitler invaded numerous countries and ignored international agreements. Eventually most of Europe was under Axis control by 1940. The United States initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Massive battles were fought across Europe and in the Pacific as the Allies worked to defeat the Axis powers. Over 60 million lives were lost making it the deadliest conflict in history.

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.
World War II was a global conflict from 1939-1945 that involved most nations splitting into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.

Major Events of WWII [power point] 1942 43William Hogan
The Japanese had great success in 1942, capturing Singapore, the Philippines, and advancing through Southeast Asia. However, Allied codebreakers helped predict a Japanese attack on Midway Island in June 1942. In the resulting Battle of Midway, the US destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers, marking a turning point in the Pacific War. Fighting continued in New Guinea and Guadalcanal through 1943 as the Allies pushed back against Japan. Meanwhile, the Germans advanced deep into Soviet territory in 1942 but became overextended, leading to their defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad later that year.
The document discusses key events and leaders related to World War II, including the rise of dictators like Hitler and Mussolini, appeasement of aggressors by countries like Britain and France, America's initial isolationism and later entry into the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, major battles on fronts in Europe and the Pacific, the Holocaust, and the eventual surrender of Germany and Japan.
This document provides context on US involvement in WWII. It discusses the US policy of isolationism following WWI and the events that challenged this, including Hitler's rise to power in Germany and invasion of European countries. While FDR wanted to assist allies, the US was bound by Neutrality Acts. However, Roosevelt supplied allies with materials through cash-and-carry provisions and the Lend Lease Act. Growing tensions and events like the bombing of Pearl Harbor eventually led the US to enter WWII and abandon its neutral stance.

World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war was caused in part by the Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI and humiliated Germany, as well as the worldwide economic depression in the 1930s. Key events included Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, the German blitzkrieg tactics across Europe, the US entry into the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Allied D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. Ultimately, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki led Japan to surrender in 1945, ending World War II.

Major events included the Holocaust, D-Day, and battles in Europe and the Pacific.
World War II was caused by underlying factors like nationalism and appeasement of aggressors, and was triggered by Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939. The war involved Allied powers like the US, Britain, and Soviet Union against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Major events included D-Day, the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender in 1945. Over 60 million people died making it the deadliest conflict in history.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
