Why Did The Allies Win Ww2 Essay

There are five main reasons the Allies won and the Axis lost. These five reasons are one) The Allies (especially the U.S.) were able to outproduce the Axis powers two) The Allies had air superiority three) Germany’s pointless declarations of war four) Hitler made foolish and negative orders and five) The Allies preferred quantity over quality. During WWII, industry increased in the Allied nations, especially in the U.S. This increase in industry means that the Allied powers were able to spend more money (61% of all of the money spent during WWII, to be exact). This meant that the allied powers could afford to buy more raw material and turn that raw material into airplanes, tanks, boats, guns, etc. The second reason that the Allies won is because
