This week we will focus our efforts on the turning tides of the European theaterof WWII. As the Americans were battling against the Japanese in the Pacific, and the Soviets were trying to hold back the Nazis, the Allied Powers were planning to take back Europe from the Axis. Would it be Italy or France first? We will discuss the debate between the "Big 3"-Churchill, Roosevelt, & Stalin over what to do next. We will investigate the motives behind their opinions, as well as what actually happened. Italy would be first! We will discuss the Allied invasion of Italy, the removal of Mussolini, the attempt to put Mussolini back in power, & finally the fall of Mussolini & the fascists in Italy. Now that the Allies had a foothold on mainland Europe; it would be time to take back the rest of the continent.
