Question 7 • Contemporary Studies

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

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

Explanation

The Allies gained the upper hand in the Battle of the Atlantic by improving their ability to detect and attack German U-boats. Technologies such as radar and sonar, along with better escort ships and aircraft, helped protect convoys and sink submarines. This makes “They used better antisubmarine technology” the correct choice; Allied U-boats were not the main means of defeating Germany’s submarine threat.
