Want to Know what happened?
It starts with a peaceful day at pearl harbor, where the pacific U.S. fleet (not counting our carriers and small ships) was stationed. Then out of nowhere, bombers of the Japanese air battalion rain all kinds of fire on the warships. One thing was for certain, we were at war.
Soon Italian and German forces begin to invade European countries. hundreds of young men die every day. Over time we retook Europe and won, but the Japanese still remained, so, sadly, we had to use an atomic bomb, and they conceded.

Fact
The Battle of the Bulge was named when German forces forced U.S. and British forces back, but only in one area, so the other allied forces moved on . As you can see on this map, in the lower right corner, that is were this battle took place.
Fact
The Normandy Invasion was one of the single largest coordinated multi-national incursion ever. The plan was to trick the Germans into thinking we would attack the northern coast, and it worked. Most of the Nazi army was in the north, but we attacked the south. Unfortunately, we didn't acknowledge the bunkers and sharp hill cliffs. The beach provided little cover for those on the ground, and many died before they got to high ground.
