The Matterhorn is a mountain in the Alps and is one of the most iconic and popular mountains in the world. It was first climbed in 1865 and has since been climbed by hundreds of thousands of people. The Matterhorn is also one of the most popular mountains for BASE jumpers. While the Matterhorn may be best known for its beautiful summit, it also has a dark history. The Matterhorn was involved in World War II as it was used as a site for a Nazi bunker. The Matterhorn was also the site of a horrific accident in which a plane crashed into the mountain, killing all of the passengers on board.<\/p>\n

No, the Matterhorn was not involved in World War II.<\/p>\n

Did the US bomb China in 1945? <\/h2>\n

On May 31, 1945, the Americans bombed the city of Taipei in an attempt to dislodge the Japanese forces there. The bombing killed an estimated 3,000 people and wounded and displaced more than 10,000 others.<\/p>\n

It is clear that the US bombing campaign in the Pacific was not going as planned. In an effort to turn things around, General Arnold recalled General Hansell and replaced him with General Curtis LeMay. LeMay had previously been in charge of the XX Bomber Command in India, but it was inactive at the time. With LeMay at the helm, the US was hoping to see better results in the bombing campaign in the Pacific.<\/p>\n
