Advantage For The Allies

Decent Essays
An advantage for the defenders was the area of the battle as it was a treacherous mountain territory. Some intended a fast push inland at Anzio that moved toward becoming impeded in driving downpours. In this way, where the mountains receded, there were as yet sloppy moving hills, overflowed streams, and washed-out roads to hamper the Allied progress and help the German defenders. Additionally, Allies propels in Italy were moderate and hampered by overwhelming autumn downpours. It was difficult to battle because of the ground conditions. In winter, the allies couldn't utilize air assets since it was not suitable.

    Due to the mostly level terrain, efforts to secure higher ground was not a significant factor for this particular engagement at the strategic level. The presence of man-made obstacles such as haystacks, fences, and stone structures did, however slow down movement during Gorman’s initial assault through the Cornfields and into the West Wood. Once Gorman’s forces had entered the West Woods, they maneuvered past large trees and thick vegetation. This would have slowed their movement and would have made it difficult to spot the defending enemy combatants and artillery batteries firing just west of them. After they retreated back to the North Wood, they were able to use a stone structure to provide cover as they moved back.…

    Since Britain was one of the major Allied powers, if it was defeated, it would have brought devastating effects toward the Allies. In helping Britain withstand the German assaults, Canada played a pivotal role in the airborne counter-attack and supplying the man-powers including the equipments. In July 1940, Hitler started to prepare for Operation Sealion, which involves the seaborne invasion of Britain. However he sent the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) first because he felt that it was essential to weaken Britain’s Royal Air Force to achieve air superiority.

    The Americans were able to secure a victory in the Revolutionary War due to the following reasons but not limited to: the geographic advantage to the American colonists; French and Spanish alliances; and strong colonists war tactics. Fighting the war on American soil provided a geographical advantage to colonists because the British were unfamiliar to the terrain.

    The next battle that we had heard of after our victory was fought by the British army. The battle had lasted around five months and they had lost this battle with a great disadvantage. As I reviewed this battle the other day, I was able to see the techniques that they had used weren’t advantageous. They would tread through no-man’s land and climb the hill to invade the enemy’s trenches, but the Germans able to overlook the Allies, and would continue to shoot the troops down. Then, the French had also come along and used the same techniques and methods to fight and approach the enemy’s trenches.…

    Joining the war not only meant that the United States had to build an army, but their industries had to convert to war productions. The United States had to manage their food supplies, for food production decreased greatly in Europe during World War I. Wilson formed a new Food Administration, headed by Herbert Hoover. His job was to manage the distribution of food for civilians and troops and its prices, saying, “Food will win the war.” The government launched propaganda and campaigns to encourage Americans to reduce their food budgets and consumption, as well as focusing on the production of food for soldiers overseas. Propaganda posters depicted food as “ammunition,” allowing the Americans at home to join the fight by decreasing their consumption…

The first advantage that the South held was their superior leadership, men like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, J.E.B Stuart, Bloody Bill Anderson, and James Longstreet were some of the best officers in the country before the war.

    The American Revolutionary War had taken place for a long 8 years, ranging from 1775 to 1783. “The American Revolution was a radical movement that had political, social, and economic causes that resulted in the birth of a new nation, the United States.” The British were desperate to make as much money off of the 13 Colonies as humanly possible. Due to being the super power and the “mother country,” the British had the power and ability to enact various laws in Parliament outside of America, which significantly affected life and trade in the 13 Colonies. The Americans did not have the same rights as the British did, and they did not have any representatives in the British Parliament to present their points of views, resulting in them horribly being taken advantage of.…

    The formulation of Allied World War II strategy was an evolutionary process. It began with Admiral Stark’s “Plan Dog” memorandum providing the early outline for Allied strategy and ended with a unified Anglo-American-Russian plan for victory. British and American leadership discovered the advantages and disadvantages of coalition operations as they struggled to identify a unified grand strategy during numerous meetings during the war. The Germany First strategy that was solidified at the Arcadia Conference ensured Allied survival and the Tehran Conference produced a unified strategy that achieved victory. Britain’s Sun Tzu approach was prevalent early in the war when means were limited and they were the dominate partner.…
