Answer:

1. German U-boats (submarines) waging unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic Ocean, sinking U.S. and Allied merchant and military ships, made crossing to Europe extremely dangerous.
2. They used the convoy system, where merchant ships traveled in groups escorted by military warships (destroyers, cruisers) equipped with anti-submarine weapons; they also used air patrols, sonar technology, and code-breaking (like Ultra) to detect and counter U-boat attacks.
3. WWII was also fought in the Pacific Theater (between the Allies and Japan), North Africa (Allies vs. Axis powers including Germany and Italy), and the Mediterranean region.
4. The Schutzstaffel (SS), specifically the SS Einsatzgruppen and Waffen-SS, was the most brutal military portion; they carried out mass executions, operated concentration camps, and enforced the Nazi regime's genocidal policies.
5. Nazi forces confined Jewish people (and other targeted groups) to overcrowded, unsanitary ghettos with limited food, water, and medical supplies. Many died from starvation, disease, or were rounded up and sent to concentration or extermination camps for mass murder. Some ghettos had uprisings, like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, against Nazi oppression.
6. The Nazi regime's "answer" to the so-called "Jewish question" was the "Final Solution," a systematic plan to murder all Jewish people in Europe, which resulted in the Holocaust, the genocide of approximately 6 million Jews via concentration camps, mass shootings, and other methods.
