What did Americans underestimate in their eagerness for war?

They underestimated; The strength of the British and their Native American allies, and the loyalty of the Canadians, particularly those who had been Americans. US leaders also underestimated the degree to which corruption and failure to maintain the army had hurt its fighting ability.


Why did he create problems for the German army by deciding to invade Russia?

During World War II, it was Adolf Hitler himself who created problems for both Germany and the German military by deciding to invade the Soviet Union. Why he did so is quite clear: he grossly underestimated the fighting ability, the general morale, and the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union, among other things. What he predicted to be a war of a single campaign turned out to be a four-year inferno that ended in the destruction of Nazi Germany.


Hitler gained the chancellorship in Germany because of skills as an orator and ability to persuade the people. Do you agree?

You could say that his ability as an orator had a lot to do with why people were willing to follow him.


What were three possible drawbacks of the terms in the agreement that endee World War 1?

Possible drawbacks were the extreme punative damages extracted from Germany. Germany was made to pay £6,600 million in damages, an amount that further crippled the German economy. The occupation of the Saar district, a large industrial part of Germany. Without the industrial heartland, Germany was further crippled in it's ability to recover and destablised the government further. By making Germany accept all responsibility for the war, it made Germany a scapegoat for the entire War.


Was it right to bomb Germany?

Yes. Germany was engaged in hurting and killing a lot of people. Bombing their factories limited their ability to hurt and kill others. Eventually, Germany was forced to surrender and the war ended. Sometimes it is hard to accept that war is necessary. Germany was enforcing their view of the world on other nations. Germany was killing Jews and subjugating other nations. What happened to the Jews could happen to others. For the basic rights of humanity, and the lives of many peoples, Germany had to be stopped.
