WWII (Blog #26)




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)


*Outbreak of World War II*

*United States Enters the War*


Your Assignment:

1.) What obstacles did the United States face when it first entered the war?
2.) In which three battles did the Allies halt Japan's advance in the pacific?
3.) What were two major turning points in the western theater of operations?


Due: Sunday by no later than 11:59p.m.

  2. 1. The U.S. had to face some huge obstacles when entering the war. They had to fight two diffrent armies in two diffrent parts of the world. Also they had to prep the country for war and be prepared.
    2. The key battles where the U.S. stoped the Japanese advancement include; the battle of Midway, Coral Sea, and Guadalcanal.
    3. D-Day because the allies put troops back in European soil. From there they pushed the German forces farther and father back into Europe. Also the Battle of the Bulge was also very successful for the allies. With there backs against the wall the Germans tried one last chance at a counter offensive. They lost and the allies had stoped the axis for good

  12. 1) Well first off, the U.S. was just coming out a the Great Depression, so that didn't really help matters by any means. In addition the Axis Powers--Germany, Italy, and Japan--had already established firm secure in the areas they'd previously invaded. The U.S. had to fight every step of the way to free the countries the Axis Powers had taken captive. Our armed forces were split up between Europe and the Pacific and we weren't prepared for what was to come.

    2) Guadalcanal, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of the Coral Sea.

    3) The Battle of El Alamein and the Battle of Stalingrad.
