Question 12 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_2100315_United States History B-CR

What supply problems did the Allies face in Europe during World War II?

Answer

Road and rail routes had been destroyed by the war, so it was hard to transport supplies to their troops.

Supplies had to travel a long way overland through harsh weather, so they often did not reach the troops that needed them.

Most supplies were manufactured in the United States, so sabotage by antiwar groups there was common.

Supplies had to travel a long distance across water on ships that were often attacked, so they did not reach Europe.

Explanation

As Allied forces advanced through Europe, fighting had damaged or destroyed many roads and railways. This made it difficult to move food, fuel, ammunition, and other supplies from ports and depots to the troops. Choice A describes this transportation problem; the other choices do not identify the main supply difficulty in Europe.
