Question 21 • US History

During the final years of World War II, how did the Allies gain control of the North Atlantic?

Answer
A
They used fighters to provide air support for their ships.
B
They used U-boats to sink German ships.
C
They used Allied submarines to defeat German ones.
D
They used better anti-submarine technology.

Explanation

The Allies gained the upper hand in the Battle of the Atlantic by improving their ability to detect and attack German U-boats. Better anti-submarine tools and tactics, including radar, sonar, and improved depth-charge methods, helped Allied forces protect shipping and sink more submarines. Fighter support alone does not explain how they countered the main threat: German U-boats.
