HW 17

1. Germany was fighting in too many different areas at once. Because it was not able to effectively focus its efforts on one front, it was forced to divide its power and fight in various places, including Italy, France, Russia, and Egypt.
2. Declaring war on America seems to have been a terrible mistake for Germany. Once America entered the war, it assisted Britain in the Battle of the Atlantic and the invasions of France and Italy.
   
3. The air war was another reason for Germany's defeat in World War II. Allied bombing had a great effect on Germany's ability to fight the war, causing civilian casualties, damaging Germany's trade and production, and eliminating its resources.
