The German invasion of Poland in 1939 launched World War II. By 1940, much of Western Europe had fallen to Germany, while Japan expanded its hold on Asia. For a time, the United States maintained its neutrality. Lend-lease aid to the Allies, beginning in 1941, however, marked an important step in U.S. involvement in the conflict. (p.400, 16.1)

Some obstacles they faced were that when America entered the war the axis had already gained control of alot of land so the Allies had to fight the war on amny fronts. Also the attack on Pearl Harbor was somewhat unexpected and although we had an active military force we were still unprepared for an all out war.
ReplyDeleteWhen America went to war with Japan there were three battles that stopped Japans momentum. Those battles were the battle of the Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal.
On the European front the Axis had been winning many battles but there momentum was stopped when Allies won the battle of El Alamein in North America and the Battle of Stalingrad in Russia.
1)Upon entering the war the United States faces obstacles of the the problems of fighting on many fronts and a lack of preparation.
ReplyDelete2)The Allies halted Japan's advance in the pacific in the three battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal.
3)Two major setbacks and turning points for the Axis powers were at the Battle of El Alamein and the Battle of Stalingrad.
the U.S. faced obsticals like mobilizing our economy, and getting things made for war time and filling in the place of the men who had to go to war. Battle of the Coral sea,battle at Midway, and Battle of Milne Bay. when the germans lost to the russians because the germans were not prepared for the harsh winter of the russias, when the allies took back Paris.
ReplyDeleteThey had to deal with the falling economy and they just got out of an economic crisis that pretty much ruined the entire nation. Battle at midway Milne Bay and Merauke, and iwegima. German getting molled by russia, and germany winning battles
ReplyDelete1) America first faced a major naval power against Japan. Japanese attacks on pPearl Harbor crippled the U.S. navy because most of our stronger ships were destroyed during the attack and diminishing numbers. Another obstacle was organization.
ReplyDeleteWe as a nation were stil stunned, shocked as it were, about the Pearl Harbor attack.
2) Battle of Midway
Battle of Coral Sea
Battle of Guadacanal
3) the increase in support with u.s troops, and the russian stand against germany's atempt to invade russia.
The U.S faced many obstacles in entering the war one major problem was fighting on many fronts with lack of preparation. Germany was more prepared for the war and the U.S. didn't start preparing until 1940. So in the beginning we didnt have the greatest offense!
ReplyDeleteThe three battles that the allies halted Japan in the advance to the pacific were the Battle of the Java Sea, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Battle of Midway.
Two major turning points were the setbacks for the Axis powers at El Amein and in Stalingrad. Which everyone played a roll in defeating the Germans.
1.) The US faced the problems of fighting on many fronts and lack preparation.
ReplyDelete2.) The Allies stopped the Japanese Pacific offensive in the battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal.
3.) Setbacks for the Axis powers at El Alamein and Stalingrad were turning points in World War 2.

3.)Setbacks for the Axis powers at El Alamein and Stalingrad were turning points in WW2!!!!!
1)The lack of preparation and having to fight on fronts
ReplyDelete2)Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal
3)Setbacks for the Axis powers at El Alamein and Stalingrad
1.) There were two main obstacles that the U.S. faced. First was that we were unfamiliar land that happened to have a vast region of fighting going on. Second, was that Germany was better prepared than everyone else.
ReplyDelete2.) The battles in which the Allies halted Japan's advance were the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, and the Guadalcanal.
3.) The two major turning points in the western theater of operations were the setbacks of the Axis powers at El Alamein and Stalingred.
The United States faced many obstacles when it first entered the war. The axis powers had an upper hand on the situation which made things a bit difficult. Germany, Italy, and Japan had already secured firm control of the areas they had invaded. The U.S. faced a long, drawn fight on several fronts, including Western Europe, the Pacific, the Mediterranean, and North America. The three battles that the Allies halted Japan’s advance in the pacific were the Battle of Java Sea, Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Battle of Midway. The two major turning points in the western theatre of operations were at El Alamein and Stalingrad.
ReplyDelete1.)Our Naval forces were still shorthanded after the attack of pearl harbor thus leaving us in short force as far as navy.
ReplyDeleteAnother problem was lack of preparations.
2.) Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal.
3.)Setbacks for the Axis power at El Alamein and Stalingrad were the Turning points in WW2
When the United States first entered the war, it faced the problems of fighting on many fronts and a lack of preparation. The Allies stopped the Japanese Pacific offensive in the battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal. Setbacks for the Axis powers at El Alamein and Stalingrad were turning points in World War II. Cooperation among the Allies took the form of lend-lease exchanges, joint strategic planning, and agreement on war aims.
ReplyDeleteJapan bombed Pearl Harbor. In four days Hitler declared war on the United States. President Roosevelt called on Congress for immediate and massive expansion of the armed forces. Twenty years of neglect and indifference, however, could not be overcome in a few days. American industry had to support the nation's Allies as well as its own military expansion. 2 major turns are that Hitler killing himself was definitely one of the most biggest turning points of ww2 because nazi germany and all other nazi soldiers lost their faith and agressivness, and D-Day in Europe.
