Answer: happened when Germany surrounded the Allied forces on three sides at the town of Bastogne.
Explanation:
As the Allies closed in on Germany from both East and West in the concluding stages of the World War, the Germans needed a new plan and so they executed an operation much like the one that saw them defeat the Allies in 1940 and enabled them capture France.
This battle led to a siege in Bastogne of the stubborn 101st Airborne Division and other units of the U.S. Army which refused to surrender to the Germans and held the area until the U.S. Third Army reached them. The HBO miniseries, <em>''Band of Brothers''</em>, covered this to some degree.
Answer:
China's motive in joining World War I alongside the Allies was that they hoped to drive Japan out of mainland China.
Explanation:
During the second half of the 19th century, China fell into a very bad situation, where it was not able to control and resist foreign invasion and policies, and the people living in misery. This continued during the 20th century, with the only difference being that the initial colonial powers lost ground in China and Japan became the new colonist.
Japan was much more brutal, and unlike the previous colonists that were solely interested in the economic aspect of the colonialism, Japan went genocidal on China. The situation was so terrible that the Chinese decided to ally with their former colonists that were part of the Allies in order to push back the Japanese forces.
The biggest reason why WWII started would be the invasions and attacks towards nations that Hitler imposed also breaking the Treaty of Versailles, the least I would say is the pure justice or judgement between a difference in Nazi ideology and the rest of the world.
1) Invasions / Attacks
2) Broke treaty of Versailles
3) Nazi ideology vs the rest of world
4) Tensions from WWI
