After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, millions of Americans enlisted to fight in WWII. The military greatly expanded and began utilizing more women and minority groups. War production boomed as auto plants converted to build tanks, planes and other supplies. Scientists worked on advances like radar, penicillin and the atomic bomb through the Manhattan Project. The US launched major offensives against Japan and Germany, leading to pivotal battles like Stalingrad, D-Day, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ultimately forced Japan's surrender and ended the war.
After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States mobilized for war on an unprecedented scale. Millions of Americans enlisted to fight, and war production expanded dramatically. Scientists worked on developing new technologies like radar and the atomic bomb through secret projects like the Manhattan Project. By 1944, the Allies had begun to gain victories over German forces in Europe and North Africa, culminating in the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the liberation of Western Europe the following year. However, the war against Japan in the Pacific continued.
Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, starting World War II in Europe. Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin, dividing Poland between them. The United States initially remained neutral but increasingly aided the Allies through acts like Lend-Lease. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, bringing the U.S. into the war. The U.S. and Allies fought major battles across Europe and the Pacific, gradually turning the tide against Germany and Japan. The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9th, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II.

Here are the key points of Wilson's 14 Points:
- Open diplomacy between nations and reduction of arms
- Freedom of the seas and open trade
- Self-determination for colonial peoples and adjustment of colonial claims
- Evacuation of occupied territories and restoration of territories like Belgium and France
- Adjustment of borders in Italy and Balkan states along ethnic lines
- Autonomous development for Austria-Hungary's peoples
The 14 Points laid out Wilson's vision for a just post-war world order based on self-determination and collective security through the League of Nations.
World War II had a significant impact on daily life in America. After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941, America entered the war and rationing of items like food and gas was implemented. The presentation discusses key events of the war such as America prioritizing the European front over Japan. It also examines important weapons used by American forces like the B-17 bomber, M4 Sherman tank, and M1 Thompson submachine gun. Life for soldiers on the frontlines was difficult, as they endured poor conditions, heavy loads of equipment, and limited medical care.
World War II was caused by the rise of dictatorships in Germany, Italy, and Japan that promised prosperity through total control (fascism). These countries formed the Axis alliance to gain world dominance. Key Axis leaders were Adolf Hitler of Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Hideki Tojo of Japan. The US initially remained neutral but joined the Allies after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Georgia supported the war effort through military bases, shipyards, and a factory that produced bombers, which brought jobs and investment to the state.
80 Years Ago - The Real Story Behind the Attack on Pearl HarbourPeter Hammond
1) The attack on Pearl Harbor was not unexpected or unprecedented as some claim. The British Royal Navy had previously attacked naval ships at anchor through surprise air attacks using torpedoes launched from aircraft carriers.
2) US military intelligence had intercepted communications indicating Japan would attack somewhere in the Pacific on December 7th, 1941 but President Roosevelt failed to warn military commanders or take other precautions.
3) Some argue Roosevelt deliberately allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor to occur in order to draw the reluctant US public into World War 2 to aid Britain against Germany. Classified documents from the time continue to be withheld from the public.

World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and escalated due to rising nationalism, imperialism, and a system of alliances that drew more countries into the war. The U.S. initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies after German submarine attacks and the Zimmermann Telegram. With the addition of American troops and resources, the Allies were able to turn the tide of war and force Germany to sign an armistice in 1918. The resulting Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany in an attempt to prevent future aggression but ultimately helped pave the way for WWII.

Germany wanted to regain territory and power lost after WWI, while Hitler pursued racist policies and remilitarized Germany in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. This led to Germany invading countries in Europe and Asia, drawing the Allies into WWII. The war was fought on two major fronts in Europe and Asia, with Germany and Japan as the Axis powers opposing the Allied powers led by the US, Britain, and Soviet Union. Major events included the invasion of Poland beginning the war, Germany's defeat on the Eastern and Western fronts, and the US use of atomic bombs to compel Japan's surrender, ending WWII.
After Pearl Harbor, the Allies adopted a strategy of focusing first on defeating Hitler in Europe while containing Japan. This strategy aimed to give America time to ramp up its massive economic potential for war production. The US home front experienced full employment and conversion of industries to all-out war production, along with rationing of goods and migration of workers to centers of war manufacturing. The war effort ultimately revived the US economy and increased national unity, though Japanese internment caused civil liberties issues.

This catastrophic event prompts the U.S. to formally enter World War 2, declaring war on Japan the next day and Germany and Italy three days later. The document provides historical context on the rise of dictators like Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s, their consolidation of power, and the formation of the Axis alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, setting the stage for global conflict.
The document discusses various perspectives on mobilization for war in the United States during World War II. It includes quotes that suggest the gentleman speaking in the cartoon would have been unpopular with African Americans, as one quote questions why African Americans should fight for democracy abroad when they do not have it at home, and another says he would rather have "here lies a black man killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man" carved on his tombstone. The document also mentions A. Philip Randolph, who advocated for African American rights.
The document discusses key events and aspects of World War II from the United States' perspective. It describes how the US remained neutral until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which prompted President Roosevelt to declare war. It also outlines how children during the war had to participate in air raid drills and sleep in bomb shelters for protection. Finally, it notes how rationing was implemented on the home front and Japanese Americans lost many rights after Pearl Harbor.
The document summarizes FDR's New Deal programs and policies during the 1930s to address the Great Depression. It details FDR's election in 1932 and his "Hundred Days" of legislation passing major programs to provide relief, reform, and recovery. This included the AAA to boost agriculture, the CCC to employ young men, the WPA and PWA to fund public works projects, and the Social Security Act. The New Deal expanded the role of government and marked a shift toward more liberal policies. By the late 1930s, the economy had improved but unemployment remained high, leading FDR to launch a Second New Deal with additional relief programs.
The document summarizes the key events and policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in response to the Great Depression. It discusses how FDR was elected in 1932 on a platform of a "New Deal" and launched major reforms and agencies during his first 100 days in office to provide relief, reform the economy, and put people back to work. This included the FDIC, SEC, CCC, PWA, AAA, and other important programs. His reforms faced opposition from the Supreme Court and other critics but helped stabilize the economy and give many Americans jobs and hope during difficult times.
Women now make up 16% of the total military across branches. While some countries like Israel require women to serve in combat roles, most women still face restrictions. Women face unique challenges including lower physical strength standards, health issues related to their physiology, and higher rates of sexual harassment and assault. Integration of women also introduces challenges with pregnancy, childcare, and maintaining unit cohesion and morale.
World War II was the largest war in human history, involving countries around the globe from 1939 to 1945. Over 70 million people were killed by the end of the war. The war was sparked by the aftermath of World War I and rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan led by Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo seeking to expand their territories. The war began when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and soon involved most major world powers aligned into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.
The document provides a detailed overview of America's involvement in World War II. It describes how the U.S. mobilized for war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, with millions enlisting or being drafted. American industry ramped up war production while scientists worked on technologies like radar, sonar, penicillin and the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. The U.S. fought major battles in Europe, Africa and the Pacific, with key events including D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, before achieving victory over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
The document discusses the US home front during World War 2. It describes how the US mobilized its economy and workforce for the war effort after Pearl Harbor. Factories retooled to produce weapons, ships, and supplies. The military dramatically expanded through conscription. Minorities faced discrimination but also contributed to the war effort. The government took control of the economy through bodies like the War Production Board to direct resources.
The document provides background information on several key figures in World War II, including Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler. It also summarizes important events such as the Munich Conference, the invasion of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union, and the Battle of Stalingrad. The document further discusses the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ultimately led to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
The document summarizes key events and aspects of World War II on multiple fronts:
1) It describes the economic and political causes of WWII in Europe including the rise of dictators in Germany, Italy and Japan and the Treaty of Versailles which hurt Germany.
2) It outlines major battles and turning points in Europe such as Germany's initial success through blitzkrieg, their defeat at Stalingrad, and the Allied D-Day invasion leading to Germany's defeat.
3) It discusses the war in the Pacific, including Japan's early expansion, the U.S. naval victory at Midway, the island hopping campaign, and the brutal battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa
In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland starting World War 2 in Europe. Germany used blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland. In 1940, Germany invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, pushing the British forces back to Dunkirk. Italy then joined Germany in invading France, leading to France's defeat in June 1940. Britain stood alone against Germany until June 1941 when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Japan, seeking resources, attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, bringing the US into the war. The US and allied forces began to turn the tide against Germany and Japan in major battles like Stalingrad, North Africa, and the Coral Sea in 1942.
World War II began in 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. Key events included the rise of dictators like Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy, Germany's invasion of numerous countries in Europe, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the US into the war, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 that led to Japan's surrender, ending the war. The war resulted in over 60 million deaths worldwide and changed the global political landscape, with the US and Soviet Union emerging as superpowers. It also saw the liberation of Nazi concentration camps and the revelation of the Holocaust.

Added in some slides and information
The document summarizes how the US mobilized its economy and industry for World War II. Key aspects included converting auto manufacturers to produce tanks, planes, and other war materials. Henry Kaiser's mass production of cargo ships helped the war effort. The US significantly outproduced Germany and Japan due to its use of assembly lines. Women entered the workforce in large numbers, including in factories producing weapons and equipment. Several major battles are outlined, including the Allies turning back the Axis powers at the Battles of Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Stalingrad.
The document summarizes key events of World War 2 in Europe and North Africa.

3) In the Pacific, the Battle of Midway in June 1942 was a turning point where the U.S. sank four Japanese aircraft carriers, reducing Japan's naval power for the rest of the war. The U.S. then began an island-hopping campaign to advance closer to Japan.
The document discusses key events at the end of World War II, including the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944; the Yalta and Potsdam conferences between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin; the Manhattan Project and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945; and Japan's surrender, marking the end of the war. It also mentions Mussolini's quote about fascism not believing in peace and describes the atrocities discovered at Nazi concentration camps. The war ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany in May 1945 and Japan in August 1945 after the atomic bombings.
The document provides an overview of World War II, including its origins, key events, and conclusion. It discusses rising tensions in Europe and Asia in the 1930s due to totalitarian regimes and fascist movements. While the US initially took an isolationist stance, Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 drew Britain and France into war. The US gradually became involved through Lend-Lease and entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war was fought on two major fronts, as the Allies battled German and Italian forces in Europe and American forces engaged the Japanese in the Pacific. The war ended in 1945 after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender.
World War 2 began after Germany invaded Poland in 1939. The US initially remained neutral but entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over the next several years, major battles were fought across Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific as the Allied forces that included the US, Britain, Soviet Union, and others battled the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The war concluded in 1945 with the Allied victories in Europe and the Pacific, including the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to Japan's surrender.
1) In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the non-aggression pact agreeing not to fight each other and dividing Poland between them.
2) During World War 2, Nazi Germany pursued a policy of genocide against Jewish people and other groups. Over 6 million Jews and 5 million others were killed in the Holocaust.

Learn about the 2nd World War. Instigators, Major Events during this time period and the effects/ ending are covered here.
Not mine. My Professor made this.
World War II was caused by the rise of dictatorships in Germany, Italy, and Japan in response to economic hardship. Adolf Hitler led Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini led Fascist Italy, and Hideki Tojo gained control of Japan in 1941. By 1942, the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan controlled large swaths of Europe and Asia. The US entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Georgia supported the war effort through military bases that trained soldiers, a factory that produced B-29 bombers, and shipyards that built cargo ships. The war ended with Allied victories in Europe and Asia in 1945.
1) The document outlines several key causes that led to the start of WWII, including the Treaty of Versailles, the Great Depression, and the failure of the League of Nations to stop aggression by Germany, Italy, and Japan.
2) It then describes the political and military situations in Germany, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the US in the late 1930s.
3) The outbreak of war is traced from Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which brought the US fully into the war.

3) WWII officially began in Europe in September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany.
The document outlines key events in Europe during World War 2 from 1939 to 1945. It begins with Germany invading Poland in September 1939, officially starting the war. The US initially remained neutral but later joined the fight. Significant events included the US supplying weapons to Britain in 1941, declaring war on Germany and Italy in response to their declarations of war later that year, and launching its first major offensive in North Africa in 1942. D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944, marking a major Allied invasion of German-occupied France. Germany ultimately surrendered on May 7, 1945, bringing Victory in Europe.
After World War II, tensions emerged between Western allies and the Soviet Union, known as the Cold War. At conferences during the war, the "Big 3" powers of the US, Britain, and Soviet Union discussed plans for postwar Europe. However, disagreements soon arose over whether Eastern European nations should be allowed free elections or become pro-Soviet. The Soviets established communist governments in these nations against the allies' wishes, dividing Europe into capitalist and communist spheres of influence. Massive economic mobilization during the war had widespread impacts on civilian life globally.

Chapter 4-–-people-and-places World Geography Sections 1-5kprice70
The document discusses several key concepts related to culture and geography. It defines culture as the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors shared by members of a group. It also explains that culture helps unite group members while also separating them from others. Several aspects of culture are then described, including language, religion, and innovation/diffusion of ideas between societies. River civilizations are highlighted as cultural hearths where ideas and technologies originated and spread. The roles of environment and geography in shaping human cultures are also summarized.
The Americans Chapter 14 The Great Depressionkprice70
The document summarizes the events leading up to and during the Great Depression in the United States. It describes how various industries like agriculture, railroads, and housing struggled in the late 1920s. The stock market crash of 1929 signaled the beginning of the Great Depression, during which GDP fell by 50% and unemployment rose to 25%. President Hoover initially believed the economy would recover on its own, but as conditions deteriorated he implemented various relief programs. However, his actions were too little too late to stop the economic collapse and alleviate widespread hardships faced by many Americans during this difficult era.
The document provides an overview of life and culture in America in the 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties. After World War I, the US experienced a period of isolationism under Republican leadership. Warren G. Harding was elected president in 1920 on a platform of "normalcy" and reducing taxes and regulations. However, his administration became embroiled in scandals like the Teapot Dome affair. Calvin Coolidge succeeded Harding and pursued business-friendly policies as America embraced consumerism fueled by the automobile industry. Cultural conflicts arose from immigration restrictions, the Red Scare, racial tensions like the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the Sacco and Vanzetti case.
Many Americans wanted to stay out of World War I but maintaining neutrality was difficult due to rising nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and alliances among European nations that increased tensions and rivalries. Germany's growing power in Europe also concerned many. European nations had been expanding their empires which supplied raw materials and markets but also contributed to rising geopolitical tensions.
The Americans Chapter 10 America claims an empirekprice70
The document provides an overview of American imperialism and expansionism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It discusses the acquisition of Alaska, Midway Islands, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Philippines, and efforts to build a canal in Panama.

The U.S. sought to increase its global influence and protect economic and strategic interests through these imperialist ventures and policies.
The document provides information on the Progressive Era and key reforms pursued by Progressives between 1890-1920. It discusses the four main goals of Progressives which were protecting social welfare, promoting moral improvement, creating economic reform, and fostering efficiency. Some key reforms discussed include workplace regulations to protect women and children workers, prohibition, trust-busting, railroad regulation, food and drug safety laws, conservation efforts, and civil rights advances. Theodore Roosevelt's "Square Deal" platform is summarized as pursuing these progressive reforms through federal action and regulation to ensure fair treatment of workers and consumers.
Millions of immigrants came to the US in the late 19th-early 20th centuries for opportunities and to escape hardships. They faced difficult journeys and adjustment to urban life with problems like overcrowded housing and unsanitary conditions. Political machines formed in cities and gained power by providing services to immigrants and poor in exchange for votes, though some engaged in corruption. Reforms sought to reduce patronage and implement merit-based civil service amid concerns over graft. Business interests also grew politically through campaign donations and influencing tariff policies.
By the early 20th century, 4 out of 10 Americans lived in cities due to industrialization. Skyscrapers became prominent as architects developed steel skeletons and elevators to build taller. Louis Sullivan praised the skyscraper as "proud and soaring." Daniel Burnham designed notable buildings like the Flatiron. Urban planning emerged with parks by Frederick Law Olmsted and Burnham's plan for Chicago. Mass culture developed through newspapers, movies, radio, and sports like baseball. However, racial discrimination and segregation laws like Jim Crow oppressed black Americans and other minority groups.

2. SECTION 1: Mobilizing for Defense
After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they
thought America would avoid further conflict
with them.
The Japan Times newspaper said America
was “trembling in their shoes”
But if America was trembling, it was with
rage, not fear.
3.
4. After Pearl Harbor 5 million Americans
enlisted to fight in the war.
The Selective Service expanded the draft and
eventually provided an additional 10 million
soldiers.
5.
6. Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall
pushed for the formation of the Women’s
Auxiliary Army Corps. (WAAC)
Under this program women worked in non-
combat roles such as nurses, ambulance
drivers, radio operators, electricians, and
pilots.
7.
8.
9. Despite discrimination at home, minority
populations contributed to the war effort.
1,000,000 African Americans
300,000 Mexican Americans
33,000 Japanese Americans
25,000 Native Americans
13,000 Chinese Americans
served in the military. Read 564.
10. Americans converted their
auto industry into a war
industry.
The nation’s automobile
plants began to produce
tanks, planes, boats, and
command cars.
Many other industries also
converted to war-related
supplies.
11. By 1944, nearly 8
million workers were
laboring in war
industries . (3X the #
in 1941)
More than 6 million of
these were women
and nearly two
million were minority
workers.
12. In 1941, FDR created the Office of
Scientific Research and Development
(OSRD) to bring scientists into the war
effort.
Focus was on radar and sonar to
locate submarines.
Also scientists worked on penicillin
and pesticides like DDT.
13. The most important achievement of the
OSRD was the development of the atomic
bomb.
Einstein wrote to FDR warning him that the
Germans were attempting to develop such a
weapon.
The code used to describe American efforts
to build the bomb was the “Manhattan
Project.”
18. Increased war production - decreased
consumer products.
With prices of goods threatening to rise out
of control, FDR responded by creating the
Office of Price Administration (OPA).
The OPA froze prices on most goods and
encouraged the purchase of war bonds to
fight inflation.
19.
20.
21. Congress raised tax rates and extended the
tax to millions of people who had never paid
it before.
22. To ensure the troops had ample resources,
FDR created the War Production Board.(WPB)
The WPB decided which companies would
convert from peacetime to wartime
production and allocated raw materials to
key industries.
23. The WPB also organized nationwide drives to
collect scrap iron, tin cans, paper, rags, and
cooking fat for recycling into war goods.
Additionally, the OPA set up a system of
rationing.
Households had set allocations of scarce
goods – gas, meat, shoes, sugar, coffee, and
gasoline.
24.
25.
26.
27.
28.
29.
30. Most Americans accepted rationing as their
contribution to the war effort.
Workers carpooled or rode bicycles.
Families coped with shortages of everything
from tires to toys.
Some chose to buy items from the black
market.
31. Days after Pearl Harbor, British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill arrived at the
White House and spent three weeks working
out war plans with FDR.
They decided on defeating Hitler first and
then turn their attention to Japan.
32. After America’s entry into the war, Hitler was
determined to prevent food and war supplies
from reaching Britain and the USSR from
America’s east coast.
Hitler ordered submarine raids on U.S. ships
along America’s east coast.
During the first four months of 1942 Germany
sank 87 U.S. ships.
33. In the first seven months of 1942, German
wolf packs sank 681 Allied ships in the
Atlantic.
Something had to be done or the war at sea
would be lost.
First, Allies used convoys of ships &
destroyers to transport supplies
34. Destroyers used sonar to track U-boats.
Airplanes were used to track the U-boats on
the ocean’s surface.
With this improved tracking, Allies inflicted
huge losses on German U-boats.
35.
36.
37. Hitler wanted to wipe out Stalingrad – a
major industrial center.
The Germans had been fighting in the Soviet
Union 6/41 – 11/41.
Cold stopped them outside of Moscow and
Leningrad. They waited for spring.
In the summer of 1942, the Germans took the
offensive in the southern Soviet Union.
38.
39. By the winter of 1943, the Allies began to see
victories on land as well as sea.
The first great turning point was the Battle
of Stalingrad.
Stalingrad was bombed nightly by the
Luftwaffe. Nearly every wooden building
was burned down.
Stalin ordered that the city be defended no
matter what the cost.
40.
41.
42. For weeks the Germans pressed in on
Stalingrad.
Germans conquered Stalingrad house by
house using hand-to-hand combat.
By September, Germans controlled 9/10 of
the city.
Then winter set in and the Germans were
wearing summer uniforms.
43. The Soviets surrounded Stalingrad with tanks
and cut off German supplies.
Hitler said “Stay and fight! I won’t go back
from the Volga.”
January 31, 1943, the German commander
surrendered.
2 days later, his starving troops also surrendered.
44. The Soviets lost 1,100,000 soldiers
defending Stalingrad. This was more than
twice the number of deaths the U.S.
suffered in all the war.
45.
46. “Operation Torch” – an invasion of Axis –
controlled North Africa – was launched by
American General Dwight D. Eisenhower in
1942.
Allied troops landed in Casablanca, Oran,
and the Algiers in Algeria.
They sped eastward chasing the Afrika
Corps led by General Erwin Rommel.
47.
48.
49. May 1943, the last of the Africa Korps
surrendered.
50. Roosevelt, Churchill, and their commanders
met in Casablanca to determine their next
move.
1) Plan massive invasions of France and Italy.
2) Only unconditional surrender of the Axis
powers.
51. The Italian Campaign got off to a good start
as the Allies easily took Sicily in the summer
of 1943.
The Italian government forced dictator
Benito Mussolini to resign.
At that point King Emmanuel stripped
Mussolini of his power and had him arrested.
Read page 573.
52. However, Hitler’s forces continued to resist
the Allies in Italy.
“Bloody Anzio” – one of the hardest battles
the Allies encountered.
Fought less than 40 miles from Rome.
Lasted 4 months.
25,000 Allied casualites
30,000 Axis caualties.
Heated battles ensued and it wasn’t until
1945 that Italy was secured by the Allies.
53. Among the brave men who fought in Italy
were pilots of the all-black 99th Pursuit
Squadron – the Tuskagee Airmen.
The pilots made numerous effective strikes
against Germany and won two distinguished
Unit Citations.
54.
55. Buffaloes – Another African-American unit to
distinguish itself.
92nd Infantry Division.
In 6 months of fighting they won 7 Legion of
Merit Awards, 65 Silver Stars, and 162 Bronze
Stars for courage under fire.
56. 17 Mexican American soldiers were awarded
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Company E of the 141st Regiment, 36th
Division – became one of the most decorated
of the war.
58. Even as the Allies were battling for Italy, they
began plans on a dramatic invasion of
France.
It was known as “Operation Overlord” and
the commander was American General
Eisenhower.
59. Also called “D-Day”, the operation involved 3

D-Day was the largest land-sea-air operation
in history.
60. Shortly after midnight –
3 divisions parachuted down behind German
lines.
Followed the next morning by thousands of
seaborne soldiers.
Despite air support, German retaliation was
brutal – especially at Omaha Beach.
Within a month, the Allies had landed 1
million troops, 567,000 supplies and 170,000
vehicles.
61. General Omar Bradley – unleashed massive
air and land bombardment against the enemy
at St. Lo.
Provided a gap in the German line in which
General George Patton and his Third Army could
advance.
62. By September 1944, the Allies had freed
France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
That good news – and the American people’s
desire not to “change horses in midstream” –
helped elect FDR to an unprecedented fourth
term.
63. In October 1944, Americans captured their
first German town (Aachen) – the Allies were
closing in.
Hitler responded with one last ditch massive
offensive.
Hitler hoped breaking through the Allied line
would break up Allied supply lines.
64.
65. The battle raged for a month.
The Germans had been pushed back.
Little seemed to have changed, but in fact
the Germans had sustained heavy losses.
Germany lost 120,000 troops, 600 tanks, and
1,600 planes.
From that point on the Nazis could do little
but retreat.
66. While the British and Americans moved
westward into Germany, the Soviets moved
eastward into German-controlled Berlin.

camps that the Germans had set up within
Poland.

Day.
On April 12, 1945, he suffered a stroke and
died – his VP Harry S. Truman became the
nation’s 33rd president.
80.
81. The Americans did not celebrate long, as
Japan was busy conquering an empire that
dwarfed Hitler’s Third Reich.
Japan had conquered much of southeast
Pacific including the Dutch East Indies,
Guam, and most of China.
82. 4/18/42 – Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle
led 16 bombers on a daring raid on Tokyo and
other Japanese cities.
Headlines read “Tokyo Bombed! Doolittle
Do’od It!”
This dampened spirits in Japan and lifted
them in the U.S.
83. The main Allied forces in the Pacific were
Americans and Australians.
In May 1942 they succeeded in stopping the
Japanese drive toward Australia in the five-
day Battle of the Coral Sea.
For the first time since Pearl Harbor, the
Japanese invasion had been stopped and
turned back.

Admiral Chester Nimitz, the commander of
American naval forces in the Pacific, moved
to defend the island.
86. The Americans won a decisive victory as their
planes destroyed 4 aircraft carriers, a
cruiser, and 250 planes.
The Battle of Midway was turning point in
the war.
Soon the Allies were island hopping toward
Japan.
89. First Allied offensive 8/1942
19,000 troops stormed Guadalcanal in the
Solomon Islands.
Guadalcanal was Japan’s 1st defeat on land.
The Americans continued their offensive
across the Pacific toward Japan.

missions, sinking 16 ships and damaging
another 80.

Japan.
Lost 3 battleships, 4 aircraft carriers, 13 cruisers,
and almost 500 planes.

to the Island of Iwo Jima.
The island was critical to the Allies as a base
from which heavily loaded bombers might
reach Japan.
It was called the most heavily defended spot
on earth.
Allied and Japanese forces suffered heavy
losses.
99. In April 1945, U.S. marines invaded Okinawa.

123. The discovery of Hitler’s death camps led the
Allies to put 24 surviving Nazi leaders on trial
for crimes against humanity, crimes against
peace, and war crimes.
The trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany.
“I was only following orders” was not an
acceptable defense as 12 of the 24 were
sentenced to death, and the others to life in
prison.
124.
125. Japan was occupied by U.S. forces under the
command of General Douglas MacArthur.
During the seven year occupation, MacArthur

free-market economy practices that led to a
remarkable economic recovery.
Additionally, he introduced a liberal
constitution that to this day is called the
MacArthur Constitution.
126. The war provided a boost to the U.S.
economy.
