Allied and Axis Powers World War II is one of the most well-known wars in today’s society. In this war, many countries separated into two power groups known as the axis and the allies. The axis power group consisted of seven countries; the major countries on the axis power side include Germany, Italy and Japan. The minor countries that were involved in the Axis powers are Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Finland. The three most powerful countries of the axis power where ruled by dictators. Germany’s

This pact later included Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Finland, Yugoslavia, Independent State of Croatia and Croatia, with Japan emerging as another major aggressor (Source 1). The alliance between Japan, Germany and Italy was known as the Tripartite Pact, also known as “the Axis alliance” (Source 1). In all, the Axis Powers killed millions and
Operation Overlord, or more commonly known as D-Day, occurred on June 6, 1944; it was the immediate aftermath of America’s entry into the Second World War. Under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, over 160,000 troops landed upon the shores of Normandy, France, with the support of the air force (Why D-Day Was So Important To Allied Victory). However, before the arrival of the troops, General Eisenhower and other prominent military leaders had planned Operation Overlord over the course of
first battle when everything was quiet in the air and no birds sang. By the summer of 1943 the Allied Powers had finished their campaigns in North Africa. Their next objective was to move into Sicily and invade Italy to cause the Germans to move northwest from the coast. This came to be known as “Operation Husky which was designed to open the shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, eliminate it as an Axis base, and to aid in the fall of Mussolini’s government” (Hickman n.d.).

"Il Duce", (the leader), was the name that Benito Mussolini gave himself as his rise to power in Italy continued. He led the people of Italy with the mind set and many of the same ideas that Hitler used in Germany. "… a tendency had been developing in Italy in favor of closer relations with Germany, both politically and economically." (1) Mussolini
no appreciable quarrel with any country involved in the war, save the Russians. The Russians had given aide the defeated Republicans during the Spanish civil war; the Russians were consequently despised. Whereas the Germans had helped Franco into power, by sending men, planes, and officers to help the war effort, therefor they were close allies. To further complicate things Germany began the war a friend of the Russians. As for the Allies, General Franco had received some military training in France

It also led to the downfall of Western European countries as world powers, leaving it to the Soviet Union, and the United States. The war started in 1939 and ended in 1945, with the invasion of Poland and the Axis surrender, respectively. It changed the economy and the growth of big countries, including Germany, Great Britain, United States, Japan, Russia and France. Aside from this, Jews
After then, the main American ideal switched to interventionism, or getting involved in the war to stop the Axis powers from taking over. The two principles are represented in the characters of Casablanca, with a clear favoritism towards interventionism. The first hint that the film will be pro-interventionism was in the bar, where Signor Ferrari, Rick’s friendly
in Golding’s Lord of the Flies mirror political leaders during World War II, as well as, the struggle of power among them. Throughout the war, there were two major potencies. These potencies were the Axis Power and the Allis Power; both of these potencies can be seen in Lord of the Flies. Jack in the Lord of the Flies, who is the main antagonist, can conspicuously be seen as the Axis Power, moreover, as Adolf Hitler. Throughout Hitler's time, his mind started to become warped, and his execration
victory which would give him control of the west and force the British to surrender so that he could win the war. However, the German forces were unable to defeat the USSR . This was because of many factors ; Soviet winter, mismanagement of the Axis powers, the battle of Stalingrad and Hitler’s underestimation of the strength of the Soviet Forces. But it was the Soviet winter and cold conditions that ultimately lead to Hitler’s defeat Hitler originally had planned to invade the USSR in the May of
years 1769 to 1821. He became commander of the French Army in Italy in 1796 (pg. 589). He then made Austria make peace with Italy. From then he was completely in charge of the French Army as well as being the Emperor of France which gave him even more power. He led his men through great victories, all the while conquering much of Europe (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/bonaparte_napoleon.shtml). In 1812 he decided that he wanted to take over Russia. He led his men into the harsh Russian
World War Two was the period where women came out of their shells and was finally recognized of what they’re capable of doing. Unlike World War One, men weren’t the only ones who were shined upon. Women played many significant roles in the war which contributed to the allied victory in World War Two. They contributed to the war in many different ways; some found themselves in the heat of the battle, and or at the home front either in the industries or at homes to help with the war effort as a woman

On 22 June 1941, Hitler broke the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Act with the Stalin when he put Operation Barbarossa into action. The assault was met with failure in 1941 when German’s army was exhausted in term of equipments and troops. Although Hitler’s miscalculation and confidence play an important role in its failure, the tough terrains, advanced equipment and Soviet’s strong will to fight also played a role in German’s defeat in Operation Barbarossa. When Hitler failed to occupy the British Isles
before the Axis setback at El Alamein and twenty-six months before the German disaster at Stalingrad, Greece inflicted an astonishing defeat against Mussolini’s fascist empire. During the first two years of the war, the Axis powers were freely crossing neighboring borders and annexing land. It seemed that none of the countries were able to withstand the fascist nation. Ethiopia, Austria, Albania, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, and Belgium were countries that were defeated by the Axis powers. As
established themselves as the ‘axis’ powers during the signing of the tripartite pact in 1940, Hitler felt morally obliged to inform Mussolini. As they both shared the common enemy it could be interpreted that he used this letter to give reason for his actions. It has been accounted by Leach that Hitler had written letters to all axis powers. The personalized form of this letter suggests he may have altered the information in each letter, or out of respect for each axis he wrote to them personally.

Winning the battle the Germans were able to force thousands of people to flee to Egypt by sea. Some say that the fall of Crete could
