Was a raid that happened during world war 2 and was an allied attack on the German occupied port of dieppe France.

The Japanese attack began shortly after 08:00 on 8 December 1941 , four hours after the Attack on Pearl Harbor (Commanded by Major-General Christopher Maltby, British, Canadian, Indian, as well as the local Hong Kong Chinese Regiment, and the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps,) resisted the Japanese attack by the Japanese 21st, 23rd and the 38th Regiments

First, they sent almost 252 boats across the water to the French coast, but S-Boats met them and torpedoed them (does anyone know what this means? plz comment if you know), so basically 80 percent of the attacking force was destroyed.

Some of the troops made it on-land, but it was already morning and they didn't have the factor of surprise behind their back. Only the minority made it past the German gunfire, but then most of them ended up surrendering and being captured.

Overall, it was a failure, but it helped inform the Allies for future battles, especially Operation Torch and D-day.

When Germany invaded the Soviet Union, the Allies were asked to help and decided to use Italy as a platform to attack enemy territory in Europe and help divert German resources

Hoped an invasion would remove the fascist regime from the war, secure the Mediterranean Sea and divert German divisions

To force Italy out of the war

# data[].attributes.body
Italian campaign began when the Allied forces took over Sicily through Operation Husky (lasted more than four weeks)

Capturing Sicily helped secure the Mediterranean Sea for Allied shipping and contributed to the downfall of Mussolini. The new Italian government then surrendered to the Allies and the Allies’ next step was to land in mainland Italy

Then, the troops took over Italian Mainland (in the Battle of Ortona) forcing them to engage in vicious street fighting + mouseholing.

Britain has lost its principle ally so she can only stood alone to fight against Germany.

# data[].attributes.body
The German army had swept through France in 6 weeks, leaving Britain the lone ally at that point in the war. Hitler had expected that, with France’s defeat, Britain would begin to push for peace negotiations. However, PM Churchill’s own words after the Dunkirk Evacuation, “...we shall never surrender”, stiffened the British resolve to fight to the end. Hitler even offered a deal to Britain, allowing her to keep her kingdom and colonies if she fought for the Axis powers. However, Churchill believed that Germany, being the threat to democracy, was to be defeated at all costs, even if it meant Britain would fall.

The Battle of Britain was not purely a British fight. Pilots from all across the world joined up to fight for the Royal Air Force. These included men from the Commonwealth nations, United States, and even pilots from European countries annexed by Germany. These included (Free) France, Czechoslovakia, and even Poland. The famous Polish 303 Squadron , consisting of entirely Polish pilots (commanded by a Canadian), were known to be the most aggressive pilots in the Air Force, as they shared hatred against German and Hitler for annexing their country at the start of the war.
