''[[Call of Duty]]'', ''[[Call of Duty 2]]'', ''[[Call of Duty 3]]'', and ''Call of Duty: WWII'' focus upon the European theater, in which the player fights the Germans, while ''Call of Duty: World at War'' focuses on the [[United States Marine Corps|USMC]] in the Pacific theater, fighting the Japanese, as well as the [[Red Army]] in the Eastern theater. ''[[Call of Duty 2: Big Red One]]'' exclusively focuses on the North African campaign, including Sicily and Italy.

The American Campaign begins in the level "[[Camp Toccoa]]", in which the player spawns as Private [[Martin]]. The player must look at signs and receive gameplay tips from Captain [[Foley (World War II)|Foley]] and Sergeant [[Moody]], who teaches Martin how to aim down the sights and use grenades. After the training, Martin and the others in his platoon move out to France. The American Campaign in ''Call of Duty'' ends after the level "[[Dulag IIIA]]", in which Martin, Cpt. Foley, and others must rescue Cpt. [[Price (World War II)|Price]] and Major [[Gerald Ingram|Ingram]] from a German camp. Price and Ingram are rescued, and are later seen in the British Campaign.

The American Campaign begins in the level "[[The Battle of Point du Hoc]]", which takes place during D-Day, in which the player spawns as Cpl. [[Bill Taylor]]. The player must get to the shore, get up the cliff-side, destroy enemy artillery guns, and secure the area. The American Campaign ends in the level "[[Crossing the Rhine]]", in which the player must cross the Rhine River. The player's main objective is to take out the artillery guns. After that is completed German tanks come in and then the player's new objective is to destroy the tanks. After that, the player, Sgt. [[Randall]], and the rest of the squad meet up with Col. [[Blake]]. Blake asks Randall if he wants to be an officer. Randall says "it'd be an honor sir but, the thing is, we'd be short a sergeant." Randall recommends Cpl. Taylor for the promotion. Randall is promoted to Lieutenant anyway. After that, the level ends, thus ending the American Campaign in ''Call of Duty 2''.

Bohater and his crew defend the hill against German tanks, but eventually their Sherman Firefly is destroyed and the crew abandons it. They join in the battle alongside Polish infantry units and other tank crews, holding off the German attack, while waiting for Canadian reinforcements. When they get to Maj.

The Germans all charge at the hill. The Polish soldiers that are left hold off the charge as the Germans come over the walls. Then, green flares light the sky as the Canadian Air Force attacks the Germans, making them fall back towards Chambois. Canadian infantry then arrive that day to help the Polish on Hill 262. After the level, Lieutenant [[Robichauld]] is seen talking with Major Jachowicz, saying to him that his men have done an excellent job at defending the hill from the Germans, and also telling him that the Germans still have an escape route, which is Chambois.

The Canadian Campaign is about members of the 4th Canadian Armored Division. It is mainly about Pvt. [[Cole]], led by World War I veteran Lt. [[Jean-Guy Robiechauld]], often making assaults and completing objectives beyond his assigned mission at the risk of his own men which is made up of Sgt. [[Jonathan Callard]], Pvt. [[Leslie Baron]], the radio operator, and Pvt. [[Kyle Peterson]]. Robichauld commands a platoon in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. The platoon captures an industrial area and successfully defends it from a larger German counterattack. While the Polish 1st Armored Division guards their western flank, the unit clears a forest near the Laison River. Robichauld dismisses Baron and eventually assigns him to act as radio operator for a Polish unit where he then dies. Robichauld proceeds to clear a town to rescue a captured Canadian tank crew, but rather than withdraw with the rescued servicemen he decides to assist in capturing the whole town. After a King Tiger Tank appears, the men plant demolition charges in a German ammunition dump to destroy the tank, but one of the fuses is defective, and while Callard attempts to disable it, it explodes. Robichauld and Cole are wounded, and Sergeant Callard is killed. A saddened Robichauld decides to nominate Callard for the Victoria Cross and promotes Cole to corporal. They then start sending reinforcements through the town to assist the Polish in defending Hill 262.

World War II (abbreviated WWII, also referred to as the Second World War) was the conflict in which many Call of Duty games focus on. The first three games in the series, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: WWII are set in World War II. Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, and Call of Duty: WWII focus upon the European theater, in which the player fights the Germans, while Call of Duty: World at War focuses on the USMC in the Pacific theater, fighting the Japanese, as well as the Red Army in the Eastern theater. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One features the North African campaign as well as the invasions of Sicily and Italy.

Joakim "Lucky Ruud" Rudinski, Sgt. Łukasz "Bang Boom" Kolwalski, and Pte. Marek Beksa Ulan.

The Polish Campaign later shows the base of Mount Ormel, or Hill 262, where the Polish are attacked by the remnants of the German 7th Army, desperate to escape the Falaise Gap. Bohater and his crew defend the hill against German tanks, but eventually their Sherman Firefly is destroyed and the crew abandons it. They join in the battle alongside Polish infantry units and other tank crews, holding off the German attack, while waiting for Canadian reinforcements. When they get to Maj. Jackowicz, he is with Sergeant Kolwalski attacking Germans assaulting the hill. Kolwalski is killed by a tank shell, as well as many other Polish soldiers. The remainder of the crew and Polish soldiers start to retreat up "The Mace" through pockets of trenches full of German soldiers. Canadian Pte. Leslie Baron, a radio operator, arrives to call in artillery but is killed by a stray bullet after refusing to retreat from an overrun position. Ulan takes the dead Baron's radio, which is used again to call for artillery strikes in the final minutes of the level. When Rudinski is running up hill, a German tank fires and it kills Rudinski, leaving the 3 remaining main Polish soldiers to fight off the Germans. Papa Jack commands Bohater and Ulan to defend the hill against the German attack. As they look up, Ulan sees green flares but Jackowicz then sees it's not the Canadians. The Germans all charge at the hill. The Polish soldiers that are left hold off the charge as the Germans come over the walls. Then, green flares light the sky as the Canadian Air Force attacks the Germans, making them fall back towards Chambois. Canadian infantry then arrive that day to help the Polish on Hill 262. After the level, Lieutenant Jean-Guy Robiechauld is seen talking with Major Jackowicz, saying to him that his men have done an excellent job at defending the hill from the Germans, and also telling him that the Germans still have an escape route, which is Chambois. The level ends, thus ending the Polish Campaign.

Jean-Guy Robiechauld, often making assaults and completing objectives beyond his assigned mission at the risk of his own men which is made up of Sgt. Jonathan Callard, Pvt. Leslie Baron, the radio operator, and Pvt. Kyle Peterson. Robiechauld commands a platoon in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. The platoon captures an industrial area and successfully defends it from a larger German counterattack. While the Polish 1st Armoured Division guards their western flank, the unit clears a forest near the Laison River. Robiechauld dismisses Baron and eventually assigns him to act as radio operator for a Polish unit where he then dies. Robiechauld proceeds to clear a town to rescue a captured Canadian tank crew, but rather than withdraw with the rescued servicemen he decides to assist in capturing the whole town. After a King Tiger Tank appears, the men plant demolition charges in a German ammunition dump to destroy the tank, but one of the fuses is defective, and while Callard attempts to disable it, it explodes. Robiechauld and Cole are wounded, and Sergeant Callard is killed. A saddened Robiechauld decides to nominate Callard for the Victoria Cross and promotes Cole to corporal. They then start sending reinforcements through the town to assist the Polish in defending Hill 262.

Results

The United Nations (UN) was formed as a direct result of the war. The Cold War between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union started. Much of Eastern Europe, including Poland and the Eastern half of Germany was occupied by the Soviet Union, while the rest of the Allies took the Western half of Germany. Due to this, NATO and the Warsaw Pact were formed, which set the stage for the Cold War between the USSR and USA, the setting of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
