1 FIGHTING WWII CHAPTERS 36-37

2 AFTER PEARL HARBOR The U.S. was not prepared Not enough navy vessels German U-boats were destroying ships off the Atlantic coast Hard to send men and supplies Could not fight in Europe and Asia Had to pick one Europe

3 PREPARING FOR WAR IN EUROPE Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) controlled most of Europe Germany fighting in Soviet Union (want to control oil) Set up puppet governments or military rule in occupied regions Brutal treatment Jewish question = how to rid Germany of Jews Concentration camps/death camps = final solution

4 PREPARING FOR WAR IN EUROPE Did not know of the final solution Allied Strategy Options Occupied France Pro=French people would support, Britain close Con = Germany had a strong presence = difficult Italy Pro=Italian army was weak, good location to move into Europe Con= many U-boats in Mediterranean North Africa Pro=not well defended, could serve as gateway to Europe Con=far from Germany Soviet Union Pro=needed help to fight off Germany Con=hard to get to, difficult to send men/supplies

5 WAR IN EUROPE Allied Strategy Options Occupied France Stalin wanted because it would force Germany to fight on more fronts BUT, U.S. army not enough training German U-boats making hard to get men/supplies across the Atlantic Italy North Africa Britain wanted, already fighting Germany in Egypt Soviet Union

6 WAR IN EUROPE Allies invade North Africa Germany had to send troops from Europe Fought a series of battles eventually Axis forces surrendered (May 1943) Gave U.S. forces training North Africa became a staging area for the Allies to move into Italy Allies moved into Italy (July 1943) with little opposition Mussolini resigned Italy Surrendered BUT Germany still controlled part of Italy

7 WAR IN EUROPE Soviets Fight Alone at Stalingrad Soldiers on both sides told to fight to the death Germans firebombed the city Eventually Soviets encircled the Germans January 1943 Germans surrendered (starving and frozen) Germany lost 200,00 men and the oil rich Caucasus Soviets lost over 1 million men

8 WAR IN EUROPE Fighting Germany U.S. bombing = precision bombing specific targets (oil refineries, railroads, factories) Daytime High altitudes British bombing = saturation bombing Nighttime Large number of bombs, over a wide area Cities Destroy German civilian morale

9 WAR IN EUROPE Operation Overlord General Eisenhower directed invasion Troops cross English Channel by ship and land in Normandy (Northern France) D-Day: June 6 th 1944 (the day of the invasion) First day- the Allies held the entire 59 miles of Normandy beach July- Allies move across France August-Allies liberated Paris September- Allies begin to cross German border

10 WAR IN EUROPE Allies move toward Germany U.S. and Britain from the West (France) Soviet Union from the East (Poland) Liberated concentration camps as they moved west German SS officers killed and moved many prisoners to hide extend of the camps Genocide = systematic killing of a racial, political, or cultural group

11 WAR IN EUROPE Battle of the Bulge Allies crossing from France to Germany met a lot of resistance Last German offensive on the western front Allied air support forced Germans to retreat Germany s Surrender Soviets had moved through Poland into Germany April 30 th 1945 Hitler killed himself, because the Allies were so close German forces quickly began surrendering V-E Day= Victory in Europe May 8 th 1945 FDR had passed away in April, Truman now President

12 PREPARING FOR WAR IN THE PACIFIC After Pearl Harbor the U.S. needed time to regroup Japan used this time build up resources; selfsufficiency was the goal While the U.S. was fighting in Europe Japan was taking over Asia Including Philippines, Guam, Dutch East Indies, Burma Philippines: Bataan Death March- 70,000 American and Filipino prisoners marched 63 miles to prison camp 7,000+ died along the way

13 PREPARING FOR WAR IN THE PACIFIC China s coast was controlled by Japan, no way to get supplies U.S. airlifted supplies over Himalayas U.S. confidence in the Pacific was low Plan: attack mainland Japan B-25 bombers fly from aircraft carriers, bomb Japan, land in China This attack: (Doolittle s raid) boosted U.S. confidence Japan caught off-guard Japan had to put more resources into protecting the mainland Japan decided to destroy the remaining American fleet

14 PREPARING FOR WAR IN THE PACIFIC Battle of the Coral Sea; May 1942 Completely carrier based battle Even losses, but U.S. gained strategic victory Blocked Japanese expansion to the south Learned the Japanese navy could be beat Option for fighting in Asia #1 Air bases in Alaska BUT snow, wind, fog, far for supplies from mainland #2 Bases in China BUT hard to get supplies to China by sea, because Japan controlled the seas #3 Liberating territories held by Japan Start with islands further from Japan and move toward Japan

15 WAR IN THE PACIFIC Decided to liberate islands held by Japan Each island liberated then became a staging area Navajo code talkers Not a written language, understood by few people Battle of Midway June 1942 Japans LAST offensive move then all defense We intercepted a message so we knew they were coming Destroyed much of the Japanese navy (4 carriers, a cruiser, 300 aircraft)

16 WAR IN THE PACIFIC Leapfrogging strategy of bypassing heavily defended island and capturing a nearby less defended island captured island becomes a base prevent Japanese supply ships from reaching the more heavily defended island This was a successful strategy BUT VERY COSTLY many soldiers died

17 WAR IN THE PACIFIC Final Push toward Japan Iwo Jima and Okinawa key islands Airfield and staging area for invading Japan both were very bloody battles, but the Allies won Set stage for invading Japan

18 WAR IN THE PACIFIC Manhattan Project Top secret project to develop the atomic bomb Ready by summer 1945 Truman had a decision to make Japan would fight to the death = many Allied soldiers lost if we invaded (1/2 million) The Allies had already destroyed many cities, and blockaded mainland Japan Leaders believed Japan could not win, but they would not surrender Some U.S. officials believe Japan was getting close to surrender

19 WAR IN THE PACIFIC U.S. Bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki Truman offered one more chance for unconditional surrender BUT Aug 6, 1945 dropped A-bomb on Hiroshima Aug 9, 1945 dropped A-Bomb on Nagasaki 250,000 Japanese died in these two bombings Aug 14, 1945 V-J Day, informal surrender Official surrender a few day later on the Missouri

20 TOTAL LOSSES 55 million died 30 million civilians Soviets lost people 20 million U.S. 400,000 soldiers

21 AFTERMATH OF WWII Problems after WWI try not to repeat No more wartime productivity The Great Depression high unemployment Treaty of Versailles too harsh = set stage for WWII War-guilt clause helped Hitler come to power Reparations hurt world economy too League of Nations no U.S. ; not strong
