American History 10- Chapter 25.2 Notes
1. What “gameplan” did FDR and Churchill choose to stick to in WWII? (defeat who first, concentrate on what? Etc.) (776)
First, create the illusion that you are attacking _________________, but really hold them until the end of the war. It was figured that they would not surrender as easily as Germany or Italy. That was correct.
Secondly, attack and conquer the African colonies of Germany and Italy. They were weaker there than in their homeland. Also, Africa has a massive coastline, thus it is easier to infiltrate. This was called Operation ____________________
Third, invade Europe. Italy can be infiltrated from Tunisia to Sicily and Sicily to Italy. The best option for invading Hitler's Fortress Europe was through Northern France aka Normandy. This was called Operation ____________________
Finally, after accepting Italian and German surrender, try to force Japanese surrender. The gameplan is considered very effective.
