Operation Overlord. Operation Overlord was on June 6-August 24 1945. This was the battle where we showed Hitler we would win the war. This operation took place in Normandy, France. This took many months of preparation and if we failed we would lose the war. Many soldiers were killed by bullets or drowned. In one year we got control of France again.

Pearl Harbor. When Japan invaded China we got mad and stopped trading with them. Well, they got mad at us and attacked us at Pearl Harbor. It was Sunday December 7, 1941. Japan brought over their aircraft's on aircraft carriers right a few miles off of Hawaii. Pearl Harbor is a Navy base on the island of Oahu,Hawaii. Japanese pilots, including kamikaze pilots, flew to the Navy base from the ship and did great damage. In all, many ships were sunk or damaged, 200 planes destroyed or damaged, and a little more than 2,400 were killed. The US ended up declaring war on Japan and Germany declared war on us.
