I agree with A B and C

D I do not agree with.

The U.S. entered the war in Dec. of 1941. From the time the US entered the war until the Normandy invasions, the U.S. had campaigned in Africa, Sicily and Italy not to mention the Pacific.

Africa, Sicily and Italy were first, at the urging of the British. With the exception of the North Africa campaign, the U.S. would have rather have bypassed Sicily and Italy and went for Northern France. So no, I do not agree with option D. The U.S. 8th Air Force was in England bombing France and Germany for this very reason in 1942. TO MAKE WAY FOR THE INVASION. Stalin wanted a western front opened in 1943, Churchill campaigned against it.

Congratulations on you're U.S. citizenship. But why you would choose to believe the teachings of a then communist state run school is beyond me. Fortunately for me, I was schooled in this country before all the revisionist altered the history books.
