German Blitzkrieg
Germany was trying to avoid fighting in a long war. Instead they wanted to defeat their opponents in a series of short campaigns. Germany began to rapidly gain control of most of Europe using a “lightning war” approach. They struck fear into their opponents by using offensive weaponry such as tanks, aircrafts, and artillery. However, once Germany got to the Soviet Union their luck turned. The Soviet Union launched a counterattack and defeated the entire German army. This allowed time for the US -

The Continuing of the Fall of Paris
The only authorities left in the capital were Cardinal Suhad, the Archbishop, officials of the essential services, and the Prefecture, Mobile Guards, and firemen. All bridges had been left intact, but the French are reported to have blown up the big armaments factories in the suburbs. Why it happened Hitler invaded France partly to gain revenge for Germany's defeat in World War I and also because he knew that Britain and France would try to stop him from his aim of conquering vast territories. -
Fall of Paris
Paris falls again the Germans since the French decided not to help Paris. The French Command aimed at sparing it the devastation which defence would have involved. The command considered that no valuable strategic result justified for the sacrifice of Paris. Only a few police were to be seen in the streets. A handful of soldiers and some civilians wandered about aimlessly. Some housewives were doing their shopping at the only baker's shop still open in the West End. -

Why it happened: The Jappenese wanted Admiral Yamamoto didn't want Midway as a base--he wanted it as bait to draw out the U.S. fleet from Pearl Harbor, so that his superior force could eliminate it as a threat in the Pacific, like the Japanese navy had done to the Russian navy in 1905.

Effects of the Battle of Midway
apanese fleet was almost totally destroyed by the United States. It lost 4 carriers, 300 planes, and 3,500 men. During the war the Japanese sent 14 aircraft carriers to war, the Americans sent 104. The Japanese were forced to fight to the death to keep any of their empire. Midway altered the course of the war in the Pacific.

Battle of Midway
The Battle of Midway, fought over and near the tiny U.S. mid-Pacific base at Midway atoll, represents the strategic high water mark of Japan's Pacific Ocean war. Prior to this action, Japan possessed general naval superiority over the United States and could usually choose where and when to attack. After Midway, the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive. -
The Continuing of the Battle of Midway
Jappenese Combined fleet commander moved on Midway in an effort to draw out and destroy he U.S. Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier striking forces, which had embarassed the Japanese Navy in the mid-April.They planned on knocking down Midways defences and follow up on atolls they were two small islands. He was planning out when he knock down the Midways defence to build on these small islands an establish an Japenese air base. -
Still Continuing of the Bataan Death March
Quickly cut off from food and other supplies by a Japanese blockade, the American and Filipino soldiers slowly used up their supplies. First they went on half rations, then third rations, then fourth rations. By April 1942, they had been holding out in the jungles of Bataan for three months and were clearly starving and suffering from diseases.There was nothing left to do but surrender. On April 9, 1942, U.S. General Edward P. King signed the surrender document, ending the Battle of Bataan. -

Battle of Iwo Jima
Iwo Jima, which means Sulfur Island, was strategically important as an air base for fighter escorts supporting long-range bombing missions against mainland Japan. Because of the distance between mainland Japan and U.S. bases in the Mariana Islands, the capture of Iwo Jima would provide an emergency landing strip for crippled B-29s returning from bombing runs.he seizure of Iwo would allow for sea and air blockades, the ability to conduct intensive air bombardment and to destroy the enemys air. -
The continuing of the Battle of Iwo Jima
Marine Corps photographer Sergeant Lou Lowery captured this first flag raising on film just as the enemy hurled a grenade in his direction. Dodging the grenade, Lowery hurled his body over the edge of the crater and tumbled 50 feet. His camera lens was shattered, but he and his film were safe.Three hours later another patrol was dispatched to raise another, larger flag.

Continuing of the Dropping of the atomic bomb
In the years since the two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, a number of historians have suggested that the weapons had a two-pronged objective. First, of course, was to bring the war with Japan to a speedy end and spare American lives. It has been suggested that the second objective was to demonstrate the new weapon of mass destruction to the Soviet Union. By August 1945, relations between the Soviet Union and the United States had deteriorated badly. -
Dropping of the atomic bombs
On August 6, 1945, the American bomber Enola Gay dropped a five-ton bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A blast equivalent to the power of 15,000 tons of TNT reduced four square miles of the city to ruins and immediately killed 80,000 people. Tens of thousands more died in the following weeks from wounds and radiation poisoning. Three days later, another bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, killing nearly 40,000 more people. A few days later, Japan announced its surrender. -

Battle of the Bulge
The Germans tried to think of a plan to separate the French and the US troops from each other. The German troops advanced in some places as much as 50 miles but this wasn’t helping toward their goal. The US was able to stop Germany from advancing to far. The British and the US counterattacked the German troops to end the Bulge.
