    World War II sent humanity into another global and political struggle, resulting in the largest war death toll in history. 1941 saw the constant rise of the supremacy of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi troops in both Europe and North Africa. Prior to the Siege of Tobruk, Germany had “began its own offensive into Cyrenaica,” and “attacked Greece and Yugoslavia, seizing them by the end of the month,” (Battistelli P.P. 2012). “Rommel’s troops were poised to capture all of Libya and press on to Egypt,” (Murray J.J. 2011) yet the collective Allied resistance, consisting mostly of Australian troops, was successful in the defence of the strategical port of Tobruk. The Siege of Tobruk displayed both the overconfidence of German troops and character of Australia’s ANZAC qualities, which combined with the strategical importance of the Libyan town of…

    The Battle of Passchendaele, or the Third Battle of Ypres, was a campaign fought in World War I by the Allies, namely the British Empire and France, and Germany. The campaign began on 31 July 1917, lasting until 6 November of that year, when Passchendaele fell to the Allies. Its impetus can be found in the long-term background preceding it, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the alliance system, the Schlieffen Plan, and trench warfare which resulted in a war of attrition; as well as the short-term background, such as the Battle of the Somme and subsequent pressure from the War Cabinet, and the successes at Messines Ridge and Gravenstafel Spur. The Battle of Passchendaele has also created many dramatic consequences that are significant to New Zealand.…
