Pls study WW2 again

Oya na dere u go:
*The Axis advance was stopped in 1942, when Japan lost a critical Battle of Midway, near Hawaii, and Germany was defeated in North Africa and then decisively, at Stalingradin the Soviet Union. In 1943, with a series of German defeats on the Eastern Front, the Allied invasionof Italy which brought about that nation's surrender.....

*The war in Europe ended with an invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union culminating in the capture of Berlinby Soviet and Polish troops and the subsequent German unconditional surrenderon 8 May 1945.

*Operation Barbarossa in 1941, was the code name for Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. Over the course of the operation, about four million soldiers of the Axis powers invaded the USSR.
*Tactically, the Germans won resounding victories and occupied some of the most important economic areas of the Soviet Union, mainly in Ukraine. Despite these successes, the German offensive stalled on the outskirts of Moscow and was then pushed back by a Soviet counter offensive without having taken the city. The Germans could never again mount a simultaneous offensive along the entire strategic Soviet–German front. The Red Army repelled the Wehrmacht's strongest blow, and forced an unprepared Germany into a war of attrition with the largest nation on Earth.
