Reply:seriously this is a complex question, especially because there are so many points of veiw from so many different countries. Ill give ya a small list that you can do further research on, but your best bet might be to check out CALL OF DUTY (1,2,or 3) its a video game that has real battles, real peoples names, real locations and real everything. SO just find it on the net, find a level walkthrough or game overview and im sure you will be able to pull some useful info out of it. OK.. here goes ( and keep in mind this is from the american p.o.v.....





Hitler came to power. Takes over parts of hungary, austria


churchhill does nothing, Hitler controlls seas with u boats


Hitler invades poland, makes allies with Italy


britain, france, russia say screw that they declare war on nazis, and socailists


war fought on two fronts: west (france, britain) and east, (russia)


Russian front becomes a stalemate at stalingrad, cold winter months make the fighting come to a stand still


Western front gets beat to hell by germans, france is lost


Brittain is bombed but protected from invasion because it is an island. Intense air battles with brits. The whole time switzerland is neutral in the middle of the mess but Allies know better than to ask for their help and nazis no better than to invade cause they will get stompped by their in mountain machine guns.


War continues, Hitler continues to bomb london and the stalemate in the east remains....Finally the us decides to come into the war after the lusitania or something gets sunk by germans, it was a passenger boat, but lets be real here, it has all kinds of munitions and supplies for the brits. we were helping them the whole duration of the war.


Randomly the Japanese see an opportunity to kick us while we aren't looking and are already busy and tired, they bomb the hell out of pearl harbor. That really pisses us off.


Once that happens the american military mobilizes and prepares for a land invasion of france.


By that time the nazis had already dug in and were ready to kill most of the americans, and they did. but the americans were like ants they just kept coming and coming,, this was called d-day it was in 1944


invasion is very bloody very tough but americans pulled it off.


Americans slowly but surely move the germans back.


Stalemate in russia ends because the russians just quit from the war like a bunch a panti waists. but they were cold and tired so i'll give em a break.


Now hitler can concentrate on the western front only.


but too many americans have foiled his plans.


In the mediterainean theater the americans and brittish whomped the italians and the germans all in egypt and the upper deserst of africa. ooh -ra!


Italians quit as well, not too long after the russians.


This is when **** really hit the fan.


When Russia quits and Italy quits a major portion of the american fighting force ws moved to the pacific, we had not forgotten that the japs had sneak attacked us.


The war in europe winds down, we gain more ground and information and technoloogy then the germans do, so it is just a matter of time, so... hitler kills himself and the spoils are split, and many new laws and regulations are created in the treaty of versailles.


Iron curtain falls over eastern europe as they all become part of the soviet union.


western europe gets redrawn a bit but remains mostly the same, iron curtain splits germany in two. at the berlin wall.


Americans gain some ground in the pacific. at wake, iwo gima, and midway but after the invasion on D-day we are very very reluctant to go ahead with another land invasion lake we did in france... so we drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, a city in Japan, the city is litterally vaporized and melted into glass, then two days later we do it again to a different city, nagasaki, same results, then the japs say ok we lose you win just dont drop another one of those things on us.


And that action is what caused the cold war and the ever present arms race that humans still continue today.


But it was the end of world war two when we vaporized those bastards who ambushed us. Then we began to rebuild europe, help the citied trapped by the communist regime behind the iron curtain. Berlin air lift etc etc. Then all the troops come home to america and get frisky and had lots and lots of babies, this is the reason for the baby boom, this is the reason me and you will never see any social security money, even though we have been paying into it our whole lives......Hey at least we dont speak german, thank god for our grandparents bravery and selflessness in the worlds time of need.





Hope that helps... Go Team America!!
Reply:One item of interest is the Nazi blockade of Leningrad that began Sept 8, 1941 and lasted for 900 days and during which ten times as many civilians died as were killed in the atomic bomb blast at Hiroshima.





In WW2 it was a legitimate war tactic to kill civilians.
