Ally Sheedy

World War 2 was one of the major global wars and it happened between 1939 and 1945. It was triggered by the German invasion of Poland. The war was fought between 2 groups of countries: The Allies (Britain, France and the USA) and the Axis power (Italy, Japan and Germany). On the 6th of June 1944, the Allies invaded Normandy, which was under the control of Nazi Germany. D-Day was considered the turning point for Germany because it caused them to fight on two fronts, which majorly weakened them.…

“The Battle of France is over. I expect the Battle of Britain is about to begin” Winston Churchill. The Battle of Britain was an aerial battle between Great Britain and the Nazi’s, a battle between Churchill and Hitler, and a battle between the Royal Air Force (RAF) and The Luftwaffe. The Battle of Britain had an affect on World War II because of the Airstrikes on British cities, the first uses of the air force, and the Nazi’s first big loss.

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…

Delivered on June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill’s speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” is one of the most recognized speeches during World War II. Churchill, who at the time was the prime minister of the United Kingdom did not actually broadcast this speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom, rather to the House of Commons. In fact, it was not until 1949 that people were able to listen to his own voice delivering the speech after Churchill was persuaded to record it for the benefit of younger…

been taken from the German army. Canada’s military had gained the most territory on D-Day compared to the other Allies. The D-Day invasion forced the Germans to fight a two front war, one on the eastern front with Russia and another on the western front with the Allies. This weakened the German army and depleted their resources quickly. The Canadian contribution played a key role in the Allies winning this battle. Not only did this attack start the liberation of France, it also was a major…

In early June of 1940, France was on the verge of capitulation. After a series of failed maneuvers, British forces were forced to evacuate at Dunkirk; mainland Europe was being dominated by the armies of Nazi Germany. On June 18, as morale was sinking, newly incumbent British Prime Minister Winston S.

By 1944, Nazi Germany’s path to victory was no longer certain. The country had suffered heavy bombing and numerous military setbacks, including the Allied landing at Normandy. With the Allies growing ever closer to Berlin, and to victory, Nazi officials were beginning to see that defeat was on the cards. To voice such opinions however, would be treason. In spite of this, the German Resistance was forming- a small pocket of military personnel and officials with intent to eliminate the Führer and…

The coordination with the Navy and the Army to get supplies from ship to shore provided the ability to sustain the ground forces. The ability of the Allies to capture key ports and airfields allowed the flow of critical supplies to force. General Patton’s capture of the port at Palermo provided an opportunity to gain critical supplies for the force but allowed ships to bring in personnel and…

Overy, R. J. Why the Allies Won. New York: W.W. Norton, 1995. In Why the Allies Won, Richard Overy gives the reader a chance to challenge the “inevitable” outcome of World War II. Allied victory may be viewed as certainty now, but during the war, it was not. Overy explains, even as people have been taught since World War II was over that the Allies were going to win anyway, the Allies were not always the frontrunner in the war. Up until 1942, the Allies were forced to plan for alternate…
