It has been said that in World War II there has been more people killed and more land destroyed than any other war. About 17million military personnel were killed not to mention twice as many citizens because of bombing raids, epidemics, and starvation. This battle spread to parts all over the world. There were battles in jungles, deserts, and even in cities.
World War II started on September 1, 1939 when Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. Hitler had built Germany into one of the strongest fighting nations in the world and was prepared to show it. Hitler and his men quickly defeated Poland, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, and France. In June of 1940 Italy joined Germany's defense leaving Great Britain alone to face the two of them (Crawford, 70).
Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June of 1941. On Dec.7, 1941 the United States was drug into the war by the bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Japan signed an alliance with Germany and Italy to form the axis. The U.S., Great Britain, China and the Soviet Union were known as the allies. By 1942 Allies had already stopped the Axis in Northern Africa, the Soviet Union, and in the Pacific. US troops landed in Italy in 1943 and France by 1944. They drove back into Germany forcing them to surrender in May 7, 1945 and Japan also surrendered on September 2, 1945 (Crawford, 70).
There were several factors that made the war a victory for the Allies. For example, there were warships that fought battles on the sea. There were fighter jets that fought battles in the air. Also there were troops that fought on the ground, but they needed a little more help defeating their enemy. Tanks were invented to help the soldiers out in battle. There was little known about tanks, but they were greatly appreciated.
Maybe this paper will enlighten you a little on the development on tanks (Crawford, 70).
