General Douglas MacArthur
General MacArthur was a general who served in the Second World War. He had initially retired in 1937 and was recalled to serve in the Second World War. MacArthur fought against Japan and was the general that accepted Japan's surrender in 1945. MacArthur was able to lead in the battles in Iwo Jima where the American soldiers took territory and drove back the allies of Hitler.
When it appeared that Hitler was advancing over Europe in 1939, Churchill galvanized England to keep fighting racism and tyranny. England kept fighting in 1940 and 1941 and after December 7, 1941, the United States entered the Second World War. A few hours prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan had signed a peace treaty with the United States. After the coward attack of kamikazes and stealth bombers on Pearl Harbor, the United States went against the axis of evil and annihilated its enemies.
The Allied Forces led by Eisenhower were motivated to destroy the nazi cowards and their allies who supported racism and persecution in the 1940s. Eisenhower coordinated D-Day in June 6, 1944 that was an assault against the nazi germans on the beaches of France in Normandy by American, British, and Canadian forces. While german nazis had taken territory in France, brave soldiers ran against incoming artillery fire and took a foothold in Normandy. Brave soldiers pushed back against the nazi stronghold in Normandy and led to additional territory being secured in Europe. Once nazi german resistance fell in Normandy, the Allied Forces moved into European territory with speed and determination. The might of the nazi germans was collapsing, and Normandy proved that guts and bravery can actually make a difference. After D-Day, the Allied Forces devastated the nazi german forces battle after battle, and the war had a year and a few months to last prior to Hitler destroying himself through cyanide.
In February 19, 1945, Allied Forces sent troops to the island of Iwo Jima in Japan. After five days of fighting, the American soldiers totaling 30,000 secured Mount Suribachi and later the island of Iwo Jima. General MacArthur was on the ship, the U.S.S. Missouri, when Japan surrendered. The war was officially declared won in September 2, 1945. A year and three months after D-Day the war was over. Churchill's courage to motivate and embolden his country and Western Democratic Civilization allowed for the collapse of nazism. Churchill never thought of capitulation as an option being that he was too bold for that. Despite nazi racism and tyranny in 1939, it was Churchill who saw the collapse of totalitarianism and cowardice in 1945.
