Morroco is correct however Patton was not in command of the 2nd Army at the time he was in command of The Western Task Force with Rear Admiral Henry Kent Hewitt heading the naval operations. It consisted of the US 2nd Armored Division, and the US 3rd and US 9th Infantry Divisions - 35,000 troops in all.

Most European nations were over run by the Nazis in WW2 and the French were at the front line on Hitler's plans to invade England. Some nations stayed nuetral, however Hitler was intent on not only conquering these nations, but plundering them as well.

The Allies of World War II were the countries officially opposed to the Axis Powers during the Second World War. During the war they were often called the United Nations, although that name now usually refers to the United Nations organisation they established after the war.\n\nOn September 1, the German invasion of Poland began World War II. Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand all declared war on Germany on September 3. Nepal, Newfoundland, Tonga, South Africa and Canada followed suit within days. On September 17, USSR invaded Poland from the East and on November 30 Soviet Union attacked Finland. The following year the USSR annexed the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) together with parts of Romania. The German-Soviet agreement was brought to an end by the German invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941.\n\nThe United States of America joined the Allies following the attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. The Declaration by United Nations, on January 1, 1942, officially united 26 nations as Allies. (The Declaration also formed the basis for the United Nations.) The informal Big 3 alliance of the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States emerged in the latter half of the war, and their decisions determined Allied strategy around the world.\n\nDates on which states joined the Allies\n \nWestern allies blue, Soviet allies red, Axis powers black over the course of the war.\n\n\n\n[edit] Following the German invasion of Poland\n Poland: 1939, 1 September \n United Kingdom: 1939, 3 September (included Indian Empire & Crown Colonies) \n France: 1939, 3 September \n Australia: 1939, 3 September \n New Zealand: 1939, 3 September \n Nepal: 1939, 4 September \n South Africa: 1939, 6 September \n Canada: 1939, 10 September \n\n[edit] After the end of the Phony War\n Norway: 1940, 9 April \n Belgium: 1940, 10 May \n Luxembourg: 1940, 10 May \n Netherlands: 1940, 10 May \n Greece: 1940, 28 October \n Kingdom of Yugoslavia: 1941, 6 April \n Soviet Union: 1941, 22 June \nTannu Tuva: 1941, 25 June \n\n[edit] After the attack on Pearl Harbor\n Panama: 1941, 7 December \n Costa Rica: 1941, 8 December \n Dominican Republic: 1941, 8 December \n El Salvador: 1941, 8 December \n Haiti: 1941, 8 December \n Honduras: 1941, 8 December \n Nicaragua: 1941, 8 December \n United States of America: 1941, 8 December \n Republic of China: 1941, 9 December \n Guatemala: 1941, 9 December \n Cuba: 1941, 9 December \n Czechoslovakia (Government-in-Exile) : 1941, 16 December \n\n[edit] After the Declaration by United Nations\n Mexico: 1942, 22 May \n Brazil: 1942, 22 August \n Ethiopia: 1942, 14 December \n Iraq: 1943, 17 January \n Bolivia: 1943, 7 April \n Iran: 1943, 9 September \n Italy: 1943, 13 October (formerly a member of the Axis) \n Colombia: 1943, 26 November \n Liberia: 1944, 27 January \n\n[edit] After D-Day\n Romania: 1944, 25 August (formerly a member of the Axis) \n Bulgaria: 1944, 8 September (formerly a member of the Axis) \n San Marino: 1944, 21 September \n Albania: 1944, 26 October \n Hungary: 1945, 20 January (formerly a member of the Axis) \n Bahawalpur: 1945, 2 February \n Ecuador: 1945, 2 February \n Paraguay: 1945, 7 February \n Peru: 1945, 12 February \n Uruguay: 1945, 15 February \n Venezuela: 1945, 15 February \n Turkey: 1945, 23 February \n Lebanon: 1945, 27 February \n Saudi Arabia: 1945 March \n Argentina: 1945, 27 March \n Chile: 1945, 11 April \n\n[edit] After the bombing of Hiroshima\n People's Republic of Mongolia: 1945, 9 August

Personal rivalry for fame between US General George S. Patton and British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.  Each wanted to be the first one across the Rhine and defeat Germany.  However, owing to a lack of resources both could not attack at the same time.  The resulting friction nearly cost Patton his job.

If you mean the division of the country that occured in 1945: \nGerman territory was occupied and annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union, and this reduced Germany's land territory drastically. Important German cities, including Breslau (now Wrocław), Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), and Memel (now Klaipėda) de facto became part of different countries (Poland, Russia and Lithuania, respectively), although the legal situation remained unclear until the end of the Cold War. Their German inhabitants were expelled to western Germany and replaced by ethnic settlers from other countries. To this day, they are not part of Germany. All major and many smaller German cities lay in ruins. Germany and Berlin were occupied and partitioned by the Allies into four military occupation zones – French in the south-west, British in the north-west, American in the south-east, and Soviet in the north-east.

White stripes! jack and Meg kick hard :)\n\nThe last time there was a real 7 nation army was WW2. The "coalition" formed was 3 or 4 nations woth most of the troops. 7 first world nations could hold back most individuals. Ghandi only had to face one nation's army. 'Course if one was sneaky and didn't give that army time to notice..."Taking their time right behind my back" , "I'm going to Witchita" ,Kansas Where Boeing has a large plant...could get things done there.

"War is hell"  --- General George Patton...Well DUH! George!  We didn't think it was a freakin picnic

Essentially, WW2 was a result of this and other factors, including unrealistic expectations and unresolved conflicts from WW1. Millions were killed in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, Asia, China, the Pacific Island nations, the US troops fighting in those theaters of war, and involved virtually the entire world. The United States emerged as the leading powerhouse and the Soviet Union a major nemesis until its collapse in 1989-1990.

At 5 am Sept 1st 1939, Hitler invades Poland. The British and French issue an ultimatum by that afternoon. It expired at noon GMT Sept 3rd. Birtan and France then declared war on Germany, HOWEVER, World War II was not a world war until Japan attacked the USA at Pearl Harbor on Sunday Dec. 7th 1941 at 7am. Go find someone who was there, like I did. I'm sure they have many intresting tales to tell. Dont be afraid of the old. They actually like to talk about the good old bad old days.
