WWII

The first battle I chose was the battle of Britain. In this battle Germans bombed British cities but Britain did not back down. Britain was aided by new technology. Hitler realized his attacks weren't working well so he called off all attacks and then focused on the mediterranean.

I think this battle was important and significant because this battle showed the allied forces that hitlers attacks can be blocked or stopped. Germany lost Britain and Britain didn't gain anything but they kept their land.



The second battle I chose was the battle of Pearl Harbor. This day is also called the day of infamy. On dec. 7th 1941 Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. They sunk and/or damaged 19 ships. Dec. 8th, the following day, the u.s. Declares war on Japan.

I think this war is important because Japan attack the u.s and when the u.s. Declared war on Japan, it was the u.s. Entry into WWII.
