1. To what did Roosevelt and Churchill agree early in the war?
Both countries agreed that Germany and Italy posed the greatest threat to the allied nations. Therefore they both decided to focas most of their firepower on Europe early in the war and to take on Japan after gaining the upperhand in Europe.
2. Why was winning the Battle of the Atlantic so crucial to the fortunes of the Allies?
It was very important to the allies because if they could not ship in the Atlantic than there would be no way to ship foods to Great Britian and the Brtitsh would be forced to surrender.
3. Why was the Battle of Stalingrad so important?
Even though the Soviets ended up loseing 1,100,000 men in defending Staingrad, their victory there is looked upon as a turning point in the war. From that point forward, the Germans were continually moved beckwards and the Soviets eventually moved westward towards and into Germany.
4. What happened in the war in North Africa?
Rather than opening a new front in Germany the US and Britain invaded Aferica and defeated all axis powers there.
5. What happened after the Allies invaded Italy?
Allied forces defeated Mouslinni's army and he was arrested and declared the "most hated man in Italy". Hitler didnt like the idea of fighting the war on German soil, however, and rather brought the fight to Italy. There, 40 miles from Rome, a battle that would take 4 months began, ending with 30,000 axis casualitys and 25,000 allied casulaties.
