Which military actions were Allied offensives during World War II? (Select all that apply)
Operation Sea Lion
Operation Torch
Battle of Kursk
Operation Barbarossa
Operation Avalanche
Is it all of them?
No, not all of the military actions listed were Allied offensives during World War II. The Allied offensives during World War II were Operation Torch and Operation Avalanche.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down each military action:
1. Operation Sea Lion: This was a military plan developed by Nazi Germany to invade and conquer the United Kingdom. It was not an Allied offensive; rather, it was a German offensive plan.
2. Operation Torch: This was an Allied invasion of North Africa, specifically targeting French-controlled Morocco and Algeria. It took place in November 1942 and was a joint operation between American and British forces.
3. Battle of Kursk: This was a major battle on the Eastern Front between German forces and Soviet forces in July 1943. It was a Soviet defensive operation, not an Allied offensive.
4. Operation Barbarossa: This was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. Again, this was a German offensive operation, not an Allied one.
5. Operation Avalanche: This was an Allied amphibious landing on the Italian mainland at Salerno in September 1943. It was a joint operation by American and British forces, aiming to capture the Italian city of Naples.
Therefore, the only Allied offensives on the list were Operation Torch and Operation Avalanche.
I only see one.
There is definitely more than one, I don't think it is C though.
You're right. It's not C.
From Britannica:
"Operation Barbarossa, original name Operation Fritz, during World War II, code name for the German invasion of the Soviet Union, which was launched on June 22, 1941. "
I recommend you Google the other three.
