The Battle of the bulge took place near the end of World War two and around the Ardennes Mountains region. It was named the largest bloodiest battle in World War Two. 19,000 Americans died in the battle. The battle went from December 1944 to January 1945. They fought it five months after D-day. It is where the Germans attacked the allied forces.
The Germans had subordinates, or little groups of fighters, and the goal for the subordinates was to split the British American allied line in half to capture Antwerp. The offensive attack was planned with secrecy so nobody knew it was going to happen. The attack caught the allied off guard because they were too worried about planning their own offensive attack.
FDR was fighting bad health since 1940 at least with paralysis and physical exertion. He was a smoker with high blood pressure and a long term heart disease. Roosevelt replaced Henry Wallace with Harry s. Truman. In the 44 election they won 53% of votes and 36 states against Senator Thomas Dewey. On April 2nd 1945 he died after saying “I have a terrific headache.” That’s when Harry Truman took over presidency.
