. 1. Dwight David Eisenhower
2. Charles DeGaulle led the Free French against the Nazis who had enslaved their country and the French collaborators who helped them. Despite his difficulties in sharing credit, he gave his countrymen a hero to rally behind.
3. The First Battle of El Alamein was fought between the victorious Axis forces led by Erwin Rommel and Allied forces led by the British Claude Auchinleck from July 1 through 29, 1942. The Second Battle of El Alamein was fought between the victorious Allied forces led by Bernard Montgomery and Axis forces led by Erwin Rommel from October 23 through November 5, 1942.
4. Stalin asked Roosevelt and Churchill to launch a major offensive on the Western Front to relieve the pressure the USSR was facing on the Eastern Front.
5. The conclusion of the Holocaust was achieved by the total defeat of Nazi Germany. The results of the Holocaust were the death of 6 million Jews, 2-3 million Soviet POWs, 1-1.5 million political prisoners from Germany and the occupied countries, 600 thousand Serbs, more than 200 thousand Poles, 220-500 thousand Gypsies, 80-200 thousand Freemasons, 75 thousand disabled persons (retarded, mentally ill, epileptic, palsied or otherwise deemed imperfect), 7-16 thousand Spanish POWs, 5-15 thousand homosexual men (I find no data on lesbians), and 2500-5000 Jehovah's Witnesses. Beyond these figures, the Holocaust largely destroyed the Jewish contributions to many nations' cultures, and created several large refugee populations.
6. The Nuremberg Laws revoked the citizenships of Jews and established a pseudo-scientific rationale for their persecution.
7. Kristallnacht was a 1938 pogrom against Jews conducted in Germany and Austria. Jews were beaten and killed, their property was destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were sent to concentration camps.
8. Adolf Hitler claimed the genocide of the Jews would be as ignored as that of the Armenians by the Turks in 1915-1917. The present Turkish government denies that such a thing occurred, but scholarship reveals that hundreds of thousands were killed. Nothing substantive has been done about it, and Hitler may have believed his policies would likewise be ignored.
9. Hitler's Final Solution was a plan to destroy all Jews. The Holocaust was his attempt to effectuate this plan.
10. Soviet POWs and civilians: 2-3 million were killed as part of the Holocaust.
11. Shooting, starving, gassing and other means of genocide were used. Mass graves, crematoria and leaving the dead in piles were among the dispositions of the millions of bodies.
12. The Yalta Conference was a meeting between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin to discuss the end stages of World War II and the disposition of the world after the end of the war. An important innovation was the creation of the United Nations.
13. the Soviet Union seized the states in eastern Europe because it claimed they were within its sphere of influence, and also because it was Soviet troops who defeated the Nazis in those areas during the war. They were there, the other Allies were not, and they were strong enough that no one stopped them.
14. Under U.S. pressure, Japan put into its Constitution that it would never again maintain an offensive army. The United States ensured its security, and Japan spent the ensuing decades building a tremendously powerful industrial capacity and economy.
15. The two nations emerged from the war as the two strongest superpowers on the globe. Each government's ideology was greatly opposed to the other's. Both states developed extremely large nuclear arsenals which were aimed at each other. Essentially, each hated, feared and mistrusted the other.
16. Most of Western Europe feared Soviet expansionism and many of the states joined mutual defense pacts such as NATO.
17. Each territory one opponent took into its sphere of influence was one the other would be denied. The same thing was going on in Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Central America and elsewhere. |
