The Turnaround:
These early successes of Germany were however short-lived. The surprise turnaround came when in June 1941 Germany forced Russia to side with the Allies by launching a joint attack on Russia. Initially Germany managed to destroy a major part of Russia but by December 1941, Moscow's staunch resistance had stopped the flow of victories for Germany.
Quickly after that the United States was forced to give up its neutral stand and join the war. Since U.S. has planned not to join the war, it was safely watching the progress and was not exactly a threat to any country. However in Dec 1941, Japan made U.S. join the war by attacking Pearl Harbor without any declaration of war. U.S. entered war with a vengeance only to see Germany and Italy declare war on it. Initially there were many setbacks for the Allies in Asia but by summer 1942 things began to change. This happened because Germany had been in the war for more than two years now. Its army was tired, its resources depleted and its artillery and weapons weakened. But at the same time, the biggest force in the Allies, the U.S. had just started using its full force and was in absolute command of the situation.
Germany suffered first major defeat when Britain captured and liberated North Africa in 1942. Just the very next month, America invaded Algeria and free forces of France quickly joined Allies. Allies launched a solid attack and soon...
There are opinions which consider in fact the invasion of Poland as an excuse for the start of the war. In this sense, the events in 1939 are known to have been an untrue story.

European transition between traditional and modern. The writer concentrates on the organizational structure of the nations including industry. The industrial revolution has historically been portrayed as a major revolution and one from which a sudden transformation was born. The writer of this paper presents evidence that the revolution and the change from traditional to modern happened through a step-by-step process and not all at once. The industrial revolution of Europe
War Without Victory Nominally, the United States achieved victory in the first Gulf War. However, the decades of fighting in the Middle East, punctuated by the second Gulf War demonstrate that the United States was not victorious in that war. However, equally clear is the fact that Iraq was not victorious. This paper examines the politics behind the Gulf War including deterrence, diplomacy, power struggles, and military and political implications to
Nazi Germany (MLA). Nazi Germany Nothing conjures up the image of evil more than the period in German history known as the "Third Reich." Adolph Hitler and the National Socialist Party, Nazi, embodied the very image of evil and have become he standard by which evil is currently measured. Television, literature, art, and movies have all-based evil characters on the Nazi's, for instance, in the "Star Wars" movies, the evil empire is
In January 1942 the military became impatient with a lack of a single military application being developed appropriated, and was recategorized. Still, it was understood that the potential for energy was vast enough that funding continued under the kriegswichtig (vital for the war effort) designation. On June 9, 1942, Adolf Hitler issued a decree for the reorganization of the RFR as a separate legal entity under the Ministry of Armament
However, Henry VIII was still insistent at that time on Catholicism in everything except loyalty to the Pope.
