D Day By: Ben

On June 6th American, British, and Canadian ships, tanks, plans, and, infantry invaded Normandy, France in the biggest sea to land invasion in history. Germany thought that the attack would go to Calais, France and the were slow to regroup. The Germans that were there tried to defend it but in fifteen minutes Germany fled. Due to D Day there where 1 million troops in west France and they pushed the Germans back.

V-E Day By: Ben

 To defeat Germany the U.S., British and Canadian were pushing Germany eastward. The Soviet troops were pushing Germany westward and when the U.S. and British took Italy and North Africa Italy let the U.S. and British use them as an attacking base an Germany so U.S. and British troops where pushing northward. Hitler seeing it was useless killed himself and the Germans fell. The day they surrendered is called V-E Day or Victory in Europe Day!

V-J Day By: Ben

 Wile we were fighting in Europe we were also fighting in the Pacific. We used a strategy called island hopping. It's were you take island after island until you get to your target. In Japan they considered it bad to surrender so if you were fighting an army of one or two thousand you might get one or two hundred ti surrender. This made battles have many more casualties, that is one of the reasons that we dictated to use the atom bomb. On August 6th 1945 we dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima and on August 9th on Nagasaki and Japan surrendered. That day is called V-J Day or Victory in Japan Day!
