Twenty years after the end of the First World War
a man named Adolph Hitler of Germany began a
Second World War. On September 1, 1939 Germany
invaded Poland, which had a treaty with France and
England to protect them. The English, French and
Polish were all unprepared to fight, and as a
result were beaten terribly. By the next spring
France had been totally taken by the Germans.
While Germany and there allies, Italy, controlled
all of the western part of Europe. England, France

... he development of an extensive deception plan,
which was named, accordingly, Bodyguard. Bodyguard
had two major objectives; to confuse the Germans
where and when the attack would take place and to
cripple the German forces once the invasion began.
It was the most complicated deception plan of the
war, if not of all time. In 1941 the British broke
the German Secret Service codes. These gave the
British the name and identities of all the German
agents, and were able to capture them. Some of

D-Day was when the Allied Powers tried to
recapture Europe, starting with France. The Allied
Powers were made up of the U. S. , the Soviet
Union, and Great Britain. The Axis Powers were
made up of Italy, Germany, and Japan. D-Day took
place on June 4, 1944. The Germans were not

The Paris Peace Treaties (1919 - 1920) IB History
To the subject and passive onlooker, those
meticulous organizers of the Paris Peace Treaties
allowed for an unfortunate amount of flaws to
enter their task of creating a treaty that could
satisfy all of the nations of not only Europe but
of the world as well equally. Yet one must attempt
to put that passiveness behind and admit that
those of the time of post World War I had truly no
idea what was to come of their decisions. Thus,

Politically, the Casablanca Conference owes its
importance to the fact that, at its end, Roosevelt
publicly announced a demand for the unconditional
surrender of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Both the
announcement and the policy of unconditional
surrender came in for severe criticism after the
war, when it was contended that opposition groups
in Germany might have overthrown Adolf Hitler and,
negotiated an earlier peace if they had not been
discouraged by fear...

Treaty Of Versailles Allied Powers

Wilsons Fourteen Points were a decent attempt at
peace and restitution after the Great War;
however, there were many inherent problems with
the Wilsonian agenda. These problems were caused
by many things, including Allied bias, American
ambition, and Western European dominance. While
trying to fix many problems in Europe, the
Fourteen Points mainly concentrated on the things
that were important to the Allied powers: France
was bent on revenge, Great Britain was looking to
further its power over ...

On June 6, 1944 the largest amphibious assault in
history took place. On the morning of the Invasion
of Normandy, beaches in the area of Cotentin,
France, were bombarded with over 5, 000 tons of

D-Day D-day is the term for a secret date on which
a military operation is to begin. Peacetime
planning of military operations is also based on
supposed D-days. Terms such as D-plus- 3 (three
days after initial attack) and H-hour (the hour of

On June 6 th, 1944, thousands of Allied soldiers
boarded landing craft off of the Normandy coast,
for many of them, these would be the last hours of
their life. The Allied invasion of the French
coast was the turning point of Second World War.
This single event paved the way for the liberation
of Nazi-occupied Europe. Hitler had worked his way
into total seclusion from the Allies, except for
the Soviet Union in the East, where the German
Army was currently on the offensive. There were
