BBC NEWS World Europe Who won World War II? The biggest loser in the war was Britain, who lost her empire, foreign assets and was still paying for the cost of the war (mostly to the USA) decades later. Everybody loses with war, it isn't a particularly nice thing to have to engage in and it certainly can't be trivialised by arguing about who made the biggest contribution. Mr Overy says that the West has a view of the war as a global conflict, because of its fight against Japan, for example, whereas the Soviet view is of a "national crusade to repel the invader". news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/world/europe/4508901.stm   (2997 words)

The World at War, history of WW 1939-1945 The war against Japan was fought over two-thirds of the world's surface, with America and her allies taking part in vast air, land and sea battles. When World War II began in 1939, Germany was the aggressor, it was later joined in June 1940, by Italy, and Japan in December 1941. Every such work as The World at War, history of WW 1939-1945 is an attempt to walk the tightrope between the fullest possible and the most accessible description of the period. www.euronet.nl /users/wilfried/ww2/ww2.htm   (2152 words)

Poland, The Allies, And World War II World War II was started, basically, for Poland's sake, and Poland would remain in the war longer than any country besides Germany. Poland was considered an ally, not only because of its democratic history, but also because of its anti-Nazi and -Soviet role that it played after World War I. The West guaranteed Poland's security, vowing to fight for Poland's independence. When Hitler finally invaded, the Western Allies would not appease Hitler as they had in the past--even though it involved nearly six years of war. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/polish_baltic_history/77468   (506 words)

Axis and Allies during World War II Learn about the leaders of the axis and allies during World War II There are many explorations and books written on the subject of World War II.

On Power: The Independent Institute U. S. History World War II Authoritative account that the German economy prior to World War II was not primarily devoted to armaments and war, while more of the economics of both Britain and France were devoted to such purposes. The geneses of the wars in Europe and Japan, and the eventual, if not inevitable, involvement of the United States, have been and will always be much debated by students of the conflict. This books presents the government’s case for the necessity during World War II for censorship of radio, movies, the press, and more, far beyond purely military and strategic matters into the very realms of “correct” political thought. www.onpower.org /history_wwii.html   (5660 words)

Propaganda Postcards of the Great War, Allied Powers By the end of World War One in November 1918, some 26 countries had joined the Allied Powers and declared war upon the Central Powers. The German propagandists were the first to use the term "Weltkrieg" (world war), and it was soon picked up by both sides. While fifteen more nations joined the Allied cause during the course of the war, the only two additions that had substantive military impact on the ultimate Allied victory were the entry of the Kingdom of Italy in May 1915 and the United States in April 1917. www.ww1-propaganda-cards.com /allied_powers.html   (506 words)

The Internet Classics Archive The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides They were the only people of the allies who, when the reconciliation between the Sicilians took place, had not made peace with her; nor indeed would they have done so now, if they had not been pressed by a war with the Hipponians and Medmaeans who lived on their border, and were colonists of theirs. And it shall not be lawful for the Athenians or their allies to carry on war against them after the treaty has been concluded, so long as the tribute is paid. It shall not be lawful to carry on war, either for the Argives, Eleans, Mantineans, and their allies, against the Athenians, or the allies in the Athenian empire: or for the Athenians and their allies against the Argives, Eleans, Mantineans, or their allies, in any way or means whatsoever. classics.mit.edu /Thucydides/pelopwar.5.fifth.html   (428 words)

Charles Lindbergh's Noninterventionist Efforts & America First Committee America First Committee, founded in September 1940, was the most powerful isolationist group in America before the United States entered World War II. America First disagreed with another powerful group, the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. His approach was, in effect, more understanding of the Germans (without approving of what they did) and more skeptical of the Allies than the conventional view in the United States. www.charleslindbergh.com /americanfirst/index.asp   (1628 words)

1941 to the Present To drum up support for the war, the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies was formed in 1940, with William Allen White as its chairman. He was the supreme commander of the allied forces for the D-day invasion that ended the war in Europe. Harry Woodring, a former Democratic Governor of Kansas and President Roosevelt's Secretary of War, was dropped from the cabinet because he disagreed with President Roosevelt's policies regarding the war. www.educonnect.com /KeyKS/1941to.htm   (618 words)

Poland's betrayal by the Western Allies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This agreement stated that in the event of war the other allies were to fully mobilize and carry out a "ground intervention within two weeks" in support of the ally being attacked. The resulting loss of the "eastern territories," approximately 48% of Poland's pre-war territory, to the Soviet Union is seen as another "betrayal" by the Western Allies. As for Allied compromises following the war, Soviet actions made it clear that nothing short of another war would force them out of Poland. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Poland's_betrayal_by_the_Western_Allies   (618 words)
