Incorrect!!!

Hitler was indeed the leader of Nazi Germany but FDR was the U.S. President during WWII.

Try again

Good Job! Hitler was the Nazi leader of Germany in WWII and Mussolini was the leader of Italy.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

Mussolini was the leader of Italy, and axis power, during WWII but Stalin was the dictator of Soviet Russia, a U.S. ally.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

To my knowledge Johnny Depp was not alive during WWII. And if Bieber was a leader of one of the Axis countries it makes sense that they lost.Try again

Where did WWII start?

A. Pearl Harbor, HawaiiB. PolandC. FranceD. Athens, OH

Incorrect!!!

Peal Harbor, Hawaii was the event that led to the U.S. entrance of the war but not the beginning of the war altogether. The war had been going on for over 2 years by the time the U.S. joined.

Try again

Correct!!!

Correct! Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

France was an early target of Germany in WWII but was not where it started.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Athens, OH is not correct. In fact, of all the countries involved the U.S. was the only one not to have an part of it attacked during WWII. Hawaii and Alaska although claimed by the U.S. were only territories at the time, not states.Try again

Who were the four main Allied Powers?

Correct. France and Britain were the first two of the four major U.S. powers. Then the Soviet Union joined followed finally by the U.S.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

Nope! U.S. was an Allied power but Germany, Japan, and Italy were Axis powers.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Spain did not participate in WWII. Belgium was an Allied power like France but was only a minor party. They were more a victim than a contributor. Switzerland was neutral throughout the entire conflict.Try again

Incorrect!!!

Incorrect but I could see why you would assume that they are Allied powers since they are so awesome.

Try again

Name of Invasion of North Africa?

A. Operation Sea LionB. Operation TintinC. Operation BarbarossaD. Operation Torch

Incorrect!!!

Move on

Name of Alliance of Germany and Italy?

A. Berlin-Rome PactB. We Bros Now PactC. Entangling AlliancesD. Berlin-Moscow Pact

Correct!!!

The Berlin-Rome Pact was the alliance between Germany (capital is Berlin) and Italy (capital is Rome) hence the name.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

We Bros Now Pact seems something more off of Jersey Shore than anything that requires any real intelligence.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Entangling Alliances is not a specific alliance but a term used to define the situation in Europe before WWII. By making alliances with each other when Nation A was attacked by Nation B, the Nation C (Allied to Nation A) would have to fight Nation B due to its allegiance to Nation A. This was on both Allied and Axis sides.Try again

Incorrect!!!

False. The Berlin-Moscow Pact was the non-aggression pact between Germany (capital is Berlin) and the Soviet Union (capital is Moscow). This didn’t last and was void after Germany attacked the Soviet Union.

Correct!!!

Hungary and Bulgaria were two small Axis countries that sided with Germany.

It is true that Bulgaria was a minor Axis country but Switzerland was neutral throughout the war.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Croatia was indeed a minor Axis power but Japan was a leading member in the Axis Alliance.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

False although Mary Kate and Ashley are probably evil enough to be an Axis but lack the talent to be a major one.

Try again

Which Allied Power was defeated early on in the war?

A. FranceB. U.S.C. JapanD. Chuck Norris (Technically he can’t be defeate

d so there are only three options for this question)

Correct!!!

France was technically defeated by the Germans early on in the war when the Germans captured Paris. The French led a stiff underground resistance force however which proved crucial in the Normandy Breakout.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

The U.S. was not defeated early on in the war nor over the entire course of the war.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Out of the Axis Powers of WWII, Japan was the last one to be defeated and it took two nuclear bombs to do so.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Chuck Norris can’t be defeated. End of story.

Try again

Operation Barbarossa was….

A. The invasion of FranceB. The invasion of SicilyC. The invasion of a barber shopD. The invasion of the Soviet Union

Incorrect!!!

False. The invasion of France was not called Operation Barbarossa.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

The invasion of Sicily was called Operation Husky not Barbarossa.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

There was no barber shop invaded during Operation Barbarossa but I can see why you thought so. Most of the time the people who come up with these names aren’t that creative.

Try again

Correct!!!

Good job. The invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany was called Operation Barbarossa. It was a massive failure, when Hitler let pride get in his way and attacked Leningrad instead of the Caucus oil fields or Moscow itself.

Move on

Who were the leaders of Britain and the Soviet Union at the end of the war?

A. Stalin and Neville ChamberlainB. Stalin and ChurchillC. Lenin and ChurchillD. Snooky and DJ Pauly D

Incorrect!!!

Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union and Neville Chamberlain was a leader of Britain but lost the Prime Minister position to Winston Churchill.

Try again

Correct!!!

Correct by war’s end Stalin and Churchill were the leaders of the Soviet Union and Britain respectively.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

Lenin had died years before the outbreak of WWII.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

If Snooky was the leader of Britain and DJ Pauly D was the leader of the Soviet Union then we would all be speaking German at this point.

Try again

Who fought with Germany in Poland at the outbreak of the war?

A. The Soviet UnionB. Mr. LangilleC. GreeceD. Japan

Correct!!!

A part of the Berlin-Moscow Pact was that the Soviet Union could have the Eastern half of Poland after they were defeated. The Soviet Union planned to use this a buffer zone between them and Germany and to speed up the process they invaded Poland from the East.

Move on

Incorrect!!!

I could see Mr. Langille doing this. He’s a jerk like that.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Greece was actually a minor Allied power, not Axis and would not help the Germans.

Try again

Incorrect!!!

Japan was an Axis Power but were too busy in China to deal with anything else other than just that.

Try again

Bonus: When was the D-Day Invasion originally planned and why was it postponed?

A. June 6th; Bad WeatherB. June 5th; Bad WeatherC. June 4th; Dwight Eisenhower was nervous D. June 6th; Religious observance

Incorrect

D-Day happened on June 6th but this wasn’t the original day.

Try again

Correct

June 5th was the original day but due to dangerous weather conditions they invasion was postponed.

Move on

Incorrect

June 4th was not the original day. Dwight Eisenhower was probably nervous but as a competent military mind he would not let nervousness keep him from doing his duty.

Try again

Incorrect

June 6th was the original day of the invasion. Religious observance had not been a major deciding factor in military in a great number of years. Even during the American Revolution, General Washington attacked Hessian soldiers at Trenton, New Jersey on Christmas Eve/Day.Try again
