Describe, in general, the Allied strategy for winning World War II and discuss the implementation of that strategy in Europe
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: After the United States entered World War II, the Allied leaders decided to concentrate first on the defeat of Germany. They disagreed concerning military strategy in Europe. In 1942, the Americans and British attacked in North Africa, an unpopular move to the Soviets who wanted a second front in Europe. The Allies decided to mount an attack on the European mainland from England in 1944. Eventually a front was opened in Italy and the Allied armies converged on Germany from west, south, and east.
