How was ww2 going for the allies in late 1940

1 answer:

4 0

For the Allies - Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - it was going VERY badly. The British Army had been driven out of Europe, with the loss of all its equipment, France had been forced to surrender, British cities were suffering nightly bombing, the approaches to seaports were being blocked by ships sunk by the new, and then unsweepable, magnetic mines, U-boats were wreaking havoc on the vital Atlantic convoys. The only "bright spot" was in North Africa, where Wavell had totally defeated the Italians, but that was to be short-lived, many of his troops being diverted to Greece and lost there, and the Mediterranean Fleet having heavy losses off Crete.

The U.S. was "well out of it", and, very sensibly, was likely to remain so !

What action would a loyalist have been least likely to take during the american revolution?

kaheart [24]

During the American Revolution, American society was divided between two groups. One group wanted to revolt against the British and become independent. Another group, known as loyalists, wanted to remain under the control of Great Britain.

With this in mind, it is easy to understand the fact that a loyalist would try to sabotage any efforts by the American colonists to break free from Great Britain. Along with this, loyalists would share inside information with the British military so that they would be aware of the rebels plans.
