How The Allies Won The War
The Allies won the war for several various reasons. The Soviet Union not only made up the largest part of the Allies, but also contributed the most to the downfall of Germany, France held the most strategical plan of the Allies, Britain’s Navy was one of the biggest aids to the Allies in World War Two, and the U.S. supplied most of the resources troops and technology.
Britain
Britain’s Navy was one of the biggest aids to the Allies in World War Two the Germans had U-Boats set to destroy any ship in neighboring waters. The British naval forces helped ensure that the Allies could travel by sea without being in constant danger of a U-boat attack. Britain also contributed to the first emotional blow to Germany at the beginning of World War Two in the Battle Of Britain. The Royal Air force defeated Germany ending Germany's invincibility, many Germans felt that they couldn't be defeated so losing a battle this early on I'm the war was an emotional blow to Germany. The British Royal Air-force also bombed a German Submarine Base eliminating Germany's naval threat to the war for almost an entire war.

France
France held the most strategical plan of the Allies. France figured that Germany wouldn't stop until they had concurred the entire world. Knowing this France set up heavy artillery on their boarders waiting for the Germans to attack. For months nothing happened but in may of 1940 the Germans flanked France catching them off guard, Germany quickly infiltrated the Northern section of France but lost a tremendous amount of soldiers in doing so. This was France's largest contribution to the Allies during the war, although it ended up costing them their freedom for the remainder of the war it put a big hole in the German Army, and made it difficult for them to invade other countries for an extended period of time.

Soviet Union
The Soviet Union not only made up the largest part of the Allies, but also contributed the most to the downfall of Germany. The battles of Kursk and Stalingrad, which were mainly fought between Germany and the Soviets cost the Germans too many men, either killed or taken prisoner, to continue fighting. The Soviets utilized tanks to take out the majority of German Soldiers, and the Germans, who had not expected the Soviets to have as much firepower as they did struggled to escape after they realized they were over matched. By the end of the battle of Stalingrad Germany had lost so many men that they were unable to make any threat to fight back.

United States of America
For the majority of World War II the United States played a large role in the Allies victories, however most of it wasn't through Americans fighting. Prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor the United States contributed most through supplies. The U.S. gave the Allies not only weaponry but the technology to help Allying Countries mass produce weaponry themselves. It wasn't until After Pearl Harbor that the United States deployed troops to fight in other Countries. However once the U.S. became more involved they helped push Germany out of Italy, North Africa, France, and Norway. By the end of the wad the U.S. moved Germany out of more Countries than any other Country in the war.
