By the time the US entered World War 2, which nations had Hitler/Germany invaded and/or occupied?
natita [175]

Answer:

The military history of the United States in World War II covers the war against the Axis Powers, starting with the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. During the first two years of World War II, the United States had maintained formal neutrality as made official in the Quarantine Speech delivered by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, while supplying Britain, the Soviet Union, and China with war material through the Lend-Lease Act which was signed into law on 11 March 1941, as well as deploying the US military to replace the British forces stationed in Iceland. Following the "Greer incident" Roosevelt publicly confirmed the "shoot on sight" order on 11 September 1941, effectively declaring naval war on Germany and Italy in the Battle of the Atlantic.[1] In the Pacific Theater, there was unofficial early US combat activity such as the Flying Tigers.

During the war some 16,112,566 Americans served in the United States Armed Forces, with 405,399 killed and 671,278 wounded.[2] There were also 130,201 American prisoners of war, of whom 116,129 returned home after the war.[3] Key civilian advisors to President Roosevelt included Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, who mobilized the nation's industries and induction centers to supply the Army, commanded by General George Marshall and the Army Air Forces under General Hap Arnold. The Navy, led by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and Admiral Ernest King, proved more autonomous. Overall priorities were set by Roosevelt and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, chaired by William Leahy. The highest priority was the defeat of Germany in Europe, but first the war against Japan in the Pacific was more urgent after the sinking of the main battleship fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Admiral King put Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, based in Hawaii, in charge of the Pacific War against Japan. The Imperial Japanese Navy had the advantage, taking the Philippines as well as British and Dutch possessions, and threatening Australia but in June 1942, its main carriers were sunk during the Battle of Midway, and the Americans seized the initiative. The Pacific War became one of island hopping, so as to move air bases closer and closer to Japan. The Army, based in Australia under General Douglas MacArthur, steadily advanced across New Guinea to the Philippines, with plans to invade the Japanese home islands in late 1945. With its merchant fleet sunk by American submarines, Japan ran short of aviation gasoline and fuel oil, as the US Navy in June 1944 captured islands within bombing range of the Japanese home islands. Strategic bombing directed by General Curtis Lemay destroyed all the major Japanese cities, as the US captured Okinawa after heavy losses in spring 1945. With the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, and an invasion of the home islands imminent, Japan surrendered.

The war in Europe involved aid to Britain, her allies, and the Soviet Union, with the US supplying munitions until it could ready an invasion force. US forces were first tested to a limited degree in the North African Campaign and then employed more significantly with British Forces in Italy in 1943–45, where US forces, representing about a third of the Allied forces deployed, bogged down after Italy surrendered and the Germans took over. Finally the main invasion of France took place in June 1944, under General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Meanwhile, the US Army Air Forces and the British Royal Air Force engaged in the area bombardment of German cities and systematically targeted German transportation links and synthetic oil plants, as it knocked out what was left of the Luftwaffe post Battle of Britain in 1944. Being invaded from all sides, it became clear that Germany would lose the war. Berlin fell to the Soviets in May 1945, and with Adolf Hitler dead, the Germans surrendered.

The military effort was strongly supported by civilians on the home front, who provided the military personnel, the munitions, the money, and the morale to fight the war to victory. World War II cost the United States an estimated $341 billion in 1945 dollars – equivalent to 74% of America's GDP and expenditures during the war. In 2015 dollars, the war cost over $4.5 trillion.

1. The documentary begins with a news headline announcing what? 2. Where was Carmen Miranda born? Portugal 3. Brazil received ma
Aneli [31]

Answer and Explanation:

1. You did not inform the document to which the question refers, but in view of the other questions we can infer that the documentary announces the life of Carmen Miranda.

2. Carmen Miranda was born in Portugual, but was raised in Brazil, a place she considered her true homeland.

3. During the 20th century, Brazil received immigrants from all over the world, but mainly from Europe, the Middle East and Japan.

4. Carmem Miranda grew up listening to popular Brazilian music like samba and bossa nova.

5. Carmen Miranda had the ability to incorporate all popular Brazilian rhythms and maintain the characteristics of Brazil in a commercial and completely international music. She was able to convey the joy, rhythm and animation of the Brazilian people in a very genuine, correct and respectable way.

6. She wore a flowing dress and a fruit-hat turban. This can be considered cultural appropriation because it is a traditional clothing worn by black women in Bahia, a Brazilian state. Carmen Miranda was neither Bahian nor black, but she was using something completely intrinsic to that culture.

7. She went to New York, where she performed on Broadway.

8. She said that she knew very little of the English language and that she could speak some 20 words, among them: money and hot-dog.

9. She stated that she was not "Americanized" and that she was still as Brazilian as anyone who was born in the country. She said that, because Brazilian criticism used to call her that, something she didn't like.

10. Carmen Miranda used to play roles of colorful, loud and loud Latin women that attracted a lot of attention. This can be problematic in two ways. Firstly, this reinforced stereotypes of Latin women, especially Brazilian women. Secondly, it limited her as an actress and hindered her from expanding the talent she possessed.
