Earth X was a world where the Nazis won and only the small group known as Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters opposed them.

9. When the true history of the birth of the multi-verse is revealed who is responsible for the creation of the Anti-Monitor?

Answer: Krona

Krona was an Oan who despite repeated pleas from his fellow men he dared to create a device to view the origin of the universe. His machine exploded and caused a reformation of the universe into two parts. One the positive matter multi-verse and the other the anti-matter universe.

The creation of the anti-matter universe caused a sister planet to Oa known as Qward and on this planet the Anti-Monitor was born. Up until this was revealed by Harbinger in Issue #7 of "Crisis on Infinite Earths"(1985), Pariah had believed he had been behind the Anti-Monitor's creation, although he did reawaken him from dormancy.

Superman says he will miss her forever but his grief was not to be.

By the end of the series was over and time was rewritten Supergirl was one of the characters who was excised from existence and thus almost no one even knew she existed.

Answer: Used his speed to focus the cannons power source back in on itslelf

In order to achieve enough speed he had to go faster than he ever had before. He knew that doing that would result in him merging with the speed-force itself and for all intents and purposes kill him. His last thoughts were of his girlfriend Iris, his protege Wally West and his closest friends. Unlike Supergirl's death he was remembered post crisis.

This happened in Issue #8 of "Crisis on Infinite Earths"(1985).
12. Although the Anti-Monitor had been halted for the moment his actions still resonated. The five remaining earths were partially merged. Brainiac and Lex Luthor gathered a horde of villains together to take advantage. But one villain stayed behind and attempted to kill the duo and take over the leadership role himself. Who was it?

Answer: Psimon

Psimon struck a blow with his mental powers that he thought destroyed Brainiac. He was about to kill Luthor as well when Brainiac revealed that he was not that easily killed and slew Psimon. Meanwhile on the Earths the heroes and villains fought casualties were had on both sides. Chemo poisoned the New York harbor and in the process killed Aquagirl, while Speedy destroyed the monster known as the Shaggy Man with an explosive arrow.

The two pronged result send the villains to Oa to try and stop Krona from enacting his experiment which created the Anti-Monitor to begin with.

The heroes were more successful in their battle at the beginning of time but only due to the intervention of the Spectre.

After the battle it appeared that everything had been returned to normal but it was not so. The Superman of Earth 2 was the first notice something was wrong. He walked to his job as editor of the Daily Star. He walks in and sits down at what he thinks is his office but is yelled at by Perry White editor of the Daily Planet. He then journeys along with the Superman of Earth 1 to Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth 2 who has the ability to pass between Earths. When they along with Kid Flash try and travel they find that there is nowhere else to go. When history reset the history of Earth 1 became the template with additions being made to account for the new additions from Earths 2,4,S and X. Both Robin and Huntress found out that their history had been erased and would continue to fight nobly and lay down their lives alongside the Teen Titan Kole, to save civilians during the next and last battle with the Anti-Monitor.

Many of the characters chosen to die were at the request of series creator Marv Wolfman as he felt they were either too silly to live or redundant.
The battle against the Anti-Monitor itself involved a number of false finishes. He was finally put down after the an assault from the most powerful beings of Earth, an assist form the malevolent Darkseid and finally a final physical blow from the Superman of Earth-2 put him down.
After the battle Alexander Luthor offers the other 2 an opportunity to go to a place where they wont feel out of place. He also reveals to Superman that he has brought his Lois along too and that the 4 of them can be happy together forever.
