Late War
WWII: Why did the Western Allies delay opening of a second front in Western Europe until late in the war?
Why did the Western Allies delay opening of a second front in Western Europe until comparatively late in the war? What was Stalin's reaction to this delay?
The main reason was Britain dragging its feet.
The Americans were keen to launch an invasion of Occupied France as early as 1942, but Churchill talked Roosevelt into landings in North Africa (1942), and then Sicily and Italy (1943) first.
Churchill had served as a battalion commander on the Western Front during the last 2 years of WW1, and his overriding concern throughout WW2 was to avoid heavy infantry casualties in a campaign in France against the Germans. The BEF had taken a beating from the Germans during the Battle of France in 1940, and this also effected British military thinking for the rest of the war, Churchill remaining extremely wary of the German military throughout the remainder of the war.
While launching the Second Front in 1942 would have been premature (as Dieppe showed), there was no real reason to invade Sicily and Italy rather than France in 1943. The Italian campaign tied down far more Allied troops and resources than German, and failed in its strategic aim of driving swiftly up the peninsula to invade Germany from the south.
All this delay annoyed Stalin intensely, as he wanted German troops withdrawn from the Russian Front to deal with an Allied Second Front; within 2 months of D-Day, the Russians were able to launch an offensive that virtually destroyed the German army in the East (Operation Bagration) that effectively decided the war on that front.
Had the British agreed to an invasion of France in 1943, the war could have ended a year earlier.

| | The War for Late Night (Hardcover) $45.56 A dramatic account of the politics and personalities behind NBC`s calamitous attempt to reinvent late-night television. When NBC decided to move Jay Leno into prime time to make room for Conan O`Brien to host the Tonight show-a job he had been promised five years earlier-skeptics anticipated a train wreck for the ages. It took, in fact, only a few months for the dire predictions to come true. Leno`s show, panned by critics, dragged down the ratings-and the profits-of NBC`s affiliates, while ratings for Conan`s new Tonight show plummeted to the lowest levels in history. Conan`s collapse, meanwhile, opened an unexpected door of opportunity for rival David Letterman. What followed was a boisterous, angry, frequently hilarious public battle that had millions of astonished viewers glued to their sets. In The War for Late Night, New York Times reporter Bill Carter offers a detailed behind-the-scenes account of the events of the unforgettable 2009/2010 late-night season as all of its players- performers, producers, agents, and network executives-maneuvered to find footing amid the shifting tectonic plates of television culture. |
| | The War for Late Night (Paperback) $24.7 The New York Times bestselling author of The Late Shift delivers "a boisterous, two-timing, high-stakes drama about the business of comedy" (The Associated Press). No one is more uniquely suited to document television`s latest late- night travesty than veteran media reporter and bestselling author, Bill Carter. NBC`s CEO, Jeff Zucker, had it all worked out when he moved Jay Leno from behind the desk at The Tonight Show, and handed the reins over to Conan O`Brien. But as everyone knows, his decision was a spectacular failure. Ratings plummeted, affiliates were enraged-and when Zucker tried to put everything back the way it was, that plan backfired as well. In candid detail, Carter charts the vortex that sucked in-not just Leno and O`Brien-but also Letterman, Stewart, Fallon, Kimmel, and Ferguson as frantic agents and network executives tried to manage a tectonic shift in television`s most beloved institution. |

The Late Night War
Why was there an anti war movement in the United States during the late 1960's early 1970's?
I think this is around the time of the Vietnam war, I know a little about this but would like to know some more.
This is a very complicated question because it was not just indicative of the USA. All over the western world students were disgruntled with the old ways of higher learning - these institutuions had not had any real change for about 70 years. Here in Sydney Aust. riots took place in defiance of the conscript and the war in Vietnam. Coupled with a more liberal press - especially in France, young people of voting age were finding that the old ways were not enough for the last part of the 20th century. They took their inspiration from Martin Luther King Jnr and Ghandi - true exponents of the peaceful protest. The establishment didn't see it this way and many heads were kicked in the ensuing battles.
