The Gallipoli campaign began when the Anzacs landed on Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915. The campaign went for 8 long and exhausting months with 30 - 40, 000 casualties occurred. The soldiers at Gallipoli were constantly fighting the freezing cold, lack of water and food, the sweltering heat in some days and the diseases being spread around.

Hitler was the main aggressor during 1939 who everyone appeased to, who is infamously known for his rise to power, his persecution of Jews, and his attacks on the world to dominate, that killed so many. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, believed in the policy of appeasement and appeased Hitler at the Munich Conference which eventually lead to the start of World War II. The Western Powers responded to aggression with appeasement, and in 1939 the world was plunged into World War II, proving to the world that collective security is a better response to aggression. Hitler’s aggression was the main reason why Allied powers felt the need to appease. In 1930, after the Reichstag fire, Adolf Hitler rose to power because he was appointed

The Battle of Britain had taken place over the skies of Great Britain in the summer of 1940. Being part of the Allied forces fighting against Nazi Germany ruled by the dictator Adolf Hitler, Great Britain had to face a serious obstacle. The German’s successful blitzkrieg tactics over the continental Europe from 1939 to 1940 stunned the Allied forces, which contributed to their early victories during the initial part of the war. The Nazi Germany soon defeated and occupied much of France in 1940, Britain’s only allies in Europe. History.com quoted that after the fall of France, “Britain now stood alone against the power of Germany’s military forces…” (History.com, 2017).

Military tactics in the ANZAC battle impacted the outcome of the battle and contributed to the ultimate failure of the Gallipoli campaign.

This long battle was fought on land, sea and air so both parties gathered their defensive and offensive tactics to repel the enemy. Open tunnels that seemed to stretch for miles, trench warfare was a defensive military tactic that both parties took advantage of. It involved digging 2 metres into the ground to protect soldiers from machine-gun fire and artillery attacks from the air.

Off of an island of Japan, many landing crafts wash ashore dropping the doors as seventy thousand United States Marines storm the beaches while being shot at by eighteen thousand Japanese soldiers. This is the battle of Iwo Jima which occurred on Feb 19, 1945 and ended on Mar 26, 1945. The island of Iwo Jima is like a paradise island with clear water and golden-white beaches, pretty trees of different kinds and of course a tall mountain called Mount Suribachi. Back in 1945, the trees were blown to ashes and the beaches were red along with the water as the soldiers tried to take cover.
