Why The Allies Won The First World War

After the interwar period between 1918 and 1939, Europe found itself in the midst of war again. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union formed an alliance called the Allie
Powers, to fight against Germany, Italy, and Japan, who made up the Axis Powers. Brilliant military generals and leaders met throughout the second World War to discuss strategy and tactics. Strategy refers to the overall plan for defeating the enemy, while tactics refers to the specific military action to implement the strategy1. Without an effective strategy and skillful tactics, even the best armies risk losing. The Allies used various tactics including air raids, land invasions, and amphibious warfare to accomplish their strategy of winning the war
The United States worried that if facing Germany was delayed, then Germany might either defeat Great Britain or Russia, or become so powerful as to make Allied victory even harder2. Another reason for the United States focusing on Germany first was that they did not have many resources for building ships for a war in the Pacific. This was partly due to the fact that much of the naval fleet had been damaged during the Pearl Harbor attack3. Supporting and supplying the Soviet Union who was fighting Germany on the eastern front was the immediate action of the Allies. Keeping German troops occupied in the east assisted the Allie's ability to weaken Germany's defenses and prepare for a ground invasion in the west4. However, if Germany managed to overcome the Soviet Union and take control of its artillery, then Hitler could focus all of his military on the western front.
In 1942, the United States and Great Britain planned an amphibious invasion of France held territories in Northern Africa. The goal of this invasion was to persuade the French to join the Allies and gain practice for their main invasion of France5. Codenamed Operation Torch,
In early 942, the Allies received notice of a planned Japanese attack on Port Moresby, and were able to station defenses at that location. Torpedo-plane and dive-bombers were able to sink the advancing Japanese ships and spare loss of Allied resources.
If it were not for the advance warnings of attacks on key American naval ports, then Japan would have likely inflicted severe damage on much of the United States aircraft carriers and warships.
The Allies strategy to defeat Japan was called Leapfrogging or sometimes known as
Island Hopping, an amphibious warfare tactic which consisted of conquering smaller islands in the Pacific. The reason for this strategy was due to the fact that the United States army did not have any air bases close enough to Japan to be able to safely implement an air attack or invasion16. Aircraft carriers were used to launch attacks, while submarines were used to sink damaged Japanese ships17. By taking over smaller islands, they could work their way to Japan until they could create an airbase close enough to Japan to launch an attack from.
