Answer: On 6 June 1944 – 'D-Day' – Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. Codenamed Operation 'Overlord', the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation.The D-Day invasion is significant in history for the role it played in World War II. It marked the turn of the tide for the control maintained by Nazi Germany; less than a year after the invasion, the Allies formally accepted Nazi Germany's surrender.Planes dropped 13,000 bombs before the landing: they completely missed their targets; intense naval bombardment still failed to destroy German emplacements. The result was, Omaha Beach became a horrific killing zone, with the wounded left to drown in the rising tide.Germany's air force no longer had control of the skies, thus missing the chance to spot the Allied build-up on England's southern coast––and being able to disrupt or destroy it. The Luftwaffe's last remaining fighter squadrons in France had been moved far out of range from the Normandy beaches.The first wave suffered close to 50 percent casualties. By midmorning, more than 1,000 Americans lay dead or wounded on the sands of Omaha. On Augusta, General Bradley agonized over the chaotic situation: 'Our communications with the forces assaulting Omaha Beach were thin to nonexistent.

The Treaty of Ghent ________. options:
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

did little more than end hostilities and postpone issues for future negotiations

Explanation:

The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814 in Ghent, was the peace that ended the Anglo-American war of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom. The treaty largely restored relations between the two countries to the status quo ante bellum. Due to the low speed of communications of the time, it took several weeks for the news of peace to arrive in America, long after the battle of New Orleans ended.

The treaty established the release of all prisoners and the restoration of all disputed land and boats. This meant that approximately 40,000 km² of territory near the Upper and Michigan lakes in Maine and on the Pacific coast returned to the United States. The treaty did not impose major changes to the pre-war situation, but did involve a few promises. . Thus, Britain promised to return the captured slaves, but instead, a few years later, he paid £ 250,000 to the United States for them. The British proposal to create an Indian buffer zone in Ohio and Michigan collapsed after the Indian coalition collapsed. The weak guarantees regarding the North American treatment of the Indians in Article IX were ignored.

djverab [1.8K]
The final solution was the Nazis' answer to a problem that they didn't have. It consisted of demonizing and persecuting people they didn't like, and then working them, starving them, and killing them. Roughly six million Jews died during the Nazi Holocaust.
