    By the time the Central Europe Campaign had begun, Allies victory in Europe was destined to happen. Hitler had gambled his ability to defend Germany on the Battle of the Bulge and lost. Although Western Allies still had to quarrel for victory, he no longer possessed the strength to halt Allied armies. The crossing of the Rhine, the encirclement and diminution of the…

    Another main factor that contributed to America’s decision to enter the war is to protect Americas economic interest the reason why is because America was loaning money to France and Britain so they can pay for food supplies and other war supplies needed for the war. When America saw that there was a chance that Germany might defeat the allies they wanted to step in because they had to make sure France and Britain won so that they can pay back the money that the United states had previously loaned out to them. It was better for Americas economy if France and Britain won so they could pay them back which is why America wanted to help them out as…

    I think that the Allies powers should have lost WW1. This is because of the size of the Axis powers, European countries blaming each other , how much money the Axis powers spent on their army and navy, Bernherd von Bϋlow’s speech to the Reichstag ( German Congress) , the England Octopus, the area of the colonial empires. One of the reasons that the Allies should have is because of the Axis powers military size. For example the Axis powers where bigger in size than the Allied powers. The Allies had almost double the size of the Axis powers, with 42 million troops deployed versus 22 million.…

    Also another fact that probably anyone who studied W.W.1 would notice was that the Allies had many more troops and weapons, the Allies consisted of France, the British Empire and Britain, Russia and a number of other small countries including New Zealand, where as the Germans only had them and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy who sadly swapped sides to join the Allies, and also a number of other small countries. The final blow to the Germans in the war was the entrance of the Americans in 1917. The Americans at that point were thought to be the strongest of all the countries as they weren't in the war until 1917 and they had time to prepare a large army and get a lot of money. The Americans gave the Allies the power they needed to defeat Germany and their accomplices. Of course the war wasn't won by the Allies as both sides called it a stale mate, but deep…

    Thirdly, America had strong economic ties with the European powers. We needed to help defend the Allies, in a way they were our partners. I felt that America has invested too much money.

    Herman Goering thought that no Air force or military in the world could stand up to that of the Nazi Luftwaffe. His boastful statement was made with well acclaim in that the Luftwaffe was a very powerful aerial force, but he was being narrow-minded when he made this statement against the production potential of the United States, which has time and time again has proved to be the most powerful nation in the world. Without the military production of the United States, the Allies would not have had a chance against the Germans and their powerful forces. Through many changes, the labor and production force of the U.S. changed from producing civilian goods, to producing military goods. These goods were supplied to all nations of the Allied Powers, and the United States quickly became the most important factor in World War II.…

    The American decision to declare war on Germany was influenced by several factors of varying degrees. To a great extent, the aggressive German naval policy contributed to the involvement of the United States in World War I. A secondary influence on this decision derived from U.S. economic interests abroad and on the homefront. Another influence leading to America’s entrance into war was the use of Allied propaganda. Therefore, the combination of German naval policy, American economic interests, and allied propaganda influenced to the American decision to declare war on Germany.…

    The impact of America’s navy into the war had a sudden and prodigious effect. The effective cooperation between Britain and American navy staff delivered new and improved tactics and strategy. The most important of these was the convoy system. The allies had not adapted a convey system to protect their supply boats. Morison believed that “Sims found to his surprise, that the allies had not yet adopted the convey system… to be protected from submarines”. The American’s instigated this system and it brought great results and enabled American troops to safely cross. After great success the US Navy also planned and executed a mine barrage across the North Sea, which blocked the exit to enemy submarines. Without the American navy it is probable that the allies would have been defeated before their ground troops even arrived.…

    Although there were no military battles fought on the mainland of the United States, World War II had a profound effect on the nation as the Federal government mobilized its economic, financial, and human resources to defeat Axis aggression. This war returned the nation to economic prosperity after a decade of dismal depression, promoted the growth of big business, and enhanced a close relationship between industry and the military. Politically, the power of the presidency and influence of the Federal government increased, and socially and economically, the war, through common sacrifice made by all, became a vehicle for improving the status of Americans. In short, the war…

    "To a greater or lesser extent, three factors were involved in explaining U.S response to Japanese and German aggression, economics, national security, and democratic values," these factors influenced Franklin Roosevelt foreign policies from 1937 to 1941.
