Winning the War in Europe

Question 2 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

Which statement provides the best comparison of General George Patton and General Dwight Eisenhower?

Answer
A
Both represented the US at the Yalta Conference.
B
Both served terms as Supreme Allied Commander.
C
Both led American forces in successful campaigns in Europe.
D
Both were involved in planning and leading the D-Day invasion.

Explanation

Both generals led American forces in successful campaigns in Europe during World War II. Eisenhower commanded the Allied invasion of Western Europe, while Patton led forces in campaigns including the liberation of much of France and the advance into Germany. Patton did not represent the United States at Yalta or serve as Supreme Allied Commander, so those comparisons do not fit both men.
