2 answers:

The allies built an artificial harbor at Normandy through which all of the needed supplies of a successful invasion could be brought ashore. They trained and prepared for months ahead of the June landing. They assembled the largest flotilla of ships the world had ever seen. Warships pounded the coast with heavy guns to soften the awaiting enemy. They landed paratroopers behind enemy lines. They executed a sneak attack at Normandy by creating the impression of invasion at Calais.

Does anyone know about Siege of the International Legations?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The Siege of the International Legations refers to the eight major wars led by Britain, Russia, Japan, France, Italy, the United

States, Germany and Austria on May 28, 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty). A war of armed aggression against

China composed of states.

In the spring of 1900, the Boxer Movement became the trigger for the Eight-Power Allied Forces' war of aggression against China.

Using this as an excuse, the Eight-Power Allied Forces divided and plundered China in the name of suppressing the Boxers. On

June 10, 1900, British Vice Admiral E. Seymour led a joint task force of more than 2,000 people to invade Beijing in batches

from the Tianjin Concession. After the Battle of Langfang, nearly 300 people were injured and forced to return to Tianjin. On

June 17, the coalition forces captured Dagu, and on July 14, they occupied Tianjin. On August 4, the coalition forces set out

from Tianjin and successively captured strategic locations such as Beicang, Yangcun, Hexiwu, and Tongzhou. On the 14th, Beijing

was captured, and then looted for three days, and Beijing was occupied by divisions. After that, they continued to increase

their troops, sent troops from Beijing and Tianjin to attack in four directions, and controlled the key passes around Beijing

and Tianjin from Zhengding in the south, Zhangjiakou in the north, Shanhaiguan in the east, and Niangziguan in the west. In the

early days of the coalition, no joint command was established, and tasks were assigned through the joint meeting of commanders

during operations. On August 17, it was decided that the German Field Marshal Waldsee would be the commander-in-chief of the

coalition forces. On October 17, Wadesi entered Beijing, set up the headquarters in the Forbidden City, and established the

military colonial agency 'Beijing Management Committee' in the Yamen of Lifanyuan.

On September 7, 1901, as a result of the signing of the 'Xin Chou Treaty', China has since been completely reduced to a semi-

colonial and semi-feudal society, which brought unprecedented and painful disasters to the country and people at that time.
