NOTES/HELP FROM THE TEXTBOOK:

The Last Days of Hitler

On December 16, 1944, Hitler threw all of his forces against the thinly

held American lines in the Ardennes Forest. His objective was take the

Belgian port of Antwerp, which was key to the Allied supply operation.

In the Battle of the Bulge, the Allies were driven back, creating a deep

"bulge" in the Allied front. The 10-day German push was stopped by

the 101st Airborne Division, which was led by Brigadier General A. C.

McAuliffe.

In April 1945, General Eisenhower's troops continued into Germany

and discovered the concentration camps where the Nazis had murdered

over 6 million Jews. All of the atrocities of the Holocaust were not

discovered until the war ended.

The Soviets captured Berlin in April 1945.

Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945.

On April 12, 1945, President Roosevelt died suddenly from a brain

hemorrhage. Harry S Truman took over the presidency.

On May 7, 1945, the German government surrendered unconditionally.

May 8 was proclaimed V-E (Victory in Europe) Day.

Japan Dies Hard

Submarines and bombers inflicted severe damage on Japan.

Allied firebombings of Tokyo killed over 83,000 people, comparable to

number of people killed by each atomic bomb.

General MacArthur returned to the Philippines with 600 ships and

250,000 troops. In Leyte Gulf, Japan lost a series of 3 battles took place

from October 23-26, 1944; this marked the end of Japan's sea power.

MacArthur then landed on the main Philippine island of Luzon in

January 1945, capturing Manila in March 1945.

Iwo Jima, needed as an airport for damaged American bombers

returning from Japan, was captured in March 1945. The Americans

captured the island of Okinawa after fighting from April to June of

1945. The American navy sustained heavy losses from the "kamikaze"

(suicide) Japanese pilots.

The Atomic Bombs

By the middle of 1945, Japan was still unwilling to surrender

unconditionally.

At the Potsdam conference in July 1945, President Truman met with

Stalin and the British leader. They issued an ultimatum to Japan:

surrender or be destroyed.

America's Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb. Germany

was the initial intended target for the atomic bomb while it was being

developed.

On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was detonated as a test. With

the Japanese still refusing to surrender, an atomic bomb was dropped

on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, killing 180,000 people. On August 8,

Stalin invaded the Japanese defenses of Manchuria and Korea. After

the Japanese still refused to surrender, a second atomic bomb was

dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killing 80,000 people.

The U.S. would have had a third atomic bomb ready by August 19 and a

fourth bomb ready by September 1945.

On August 10, 1945, Tokyo surrendered under the condition that

emperor Hirohito be allowed to keep his title as emperor. The Allies

accepted this condition on August 14, 1945. The formal end to the war

came on September 2, 1945, which was proclaimed as V-J (Victory in

Japan) Day. The Allies Triumphant

American forces suffered 1 million casualties in WWII, while the Soviet Union suffered nearly 25 million.

After the war, much of the world was destroyed while America was left virtually untouched.

The nation was better prepared for the war than any other nation because it had begun to prepare about a year

and a half before the war officially began (for America).

MORE REVIEW STUFF FOR FUN???… What major industry was transformed by use of the assembly line in the early 20th century?

How did this change the culture of the USA? What was agency that was created during the Great Depression to regulate the banking industry? What and why were “New Deal” programs established? Who promoted the Share Our Wealth concept and was considered a threat to President Franklin Roosevelt’s reelection until he was assassinated in 1935? What were some the main causes of World War 2? How did Hitler “Rise to Power”? Since the New Deal, aside from African Americans, the Democratic Party had MOSTLY had widespread support from union members and Jewish Americans. WHY? How did industry and technology change American society and global politics from the early 1900s into the 1940s?
