German troops march through Berlin, Germany, to mark the surrender of France in 1940. What does this photo suggest about the power of the Axis armies during the early years of the war?

Analyze Charts How were the goals of the countries fighting in World War II similar and different?

The European Front The first blow America struck against the Axis was by fulfilling Roosevelt's promise to be the 'arsenal of democracy.' American factories turned out millions of tons of guns, tanks, and other supplies—enough to keep the Soviets and British battling Germany for years. The problem was delivering the weapons, food, and medical supplies that fueled the Allied war machine.

American concerns over Japanese aggression in the Pacific. British concerns over its border security in the Atlantic. 2. Soviet mistrust of Western intentions.

It would allow the Allies to gain control of the precious oil fields in the Middle East. It would force the Axis to retreat from Stalingrad and give the Soviets a chance to regroup. It would prevent the Axis from receiving reinforcements from Japan’s Indian Ocean fleet. It would require fewer resources and pave the way for an Allied invasion of Italy.

4. strategically bombing Germany’s major industrial centers.

Increased Opportunities in Employment 1. All over the United States, American industry quickly converted to war production to meet the nation's military needs. 2. As the economic effects of World War II brought the Great Depression to an end, the millions of unemployed men who had been such a common sight during the 1930s seemed to vanish overnight. 3.
