World War II began as Germany, led by Hitler, sought to expand its territory by taking over countries in Europe. This caused concern in England and France, leading up tensions. Germany then invaded Poland in 1939 by making deals with Russia to divide the country between them, marking the start of World War II. During the war, Germany blamed the Jews for their losses and set up concentration camps, most notoriously Auschwitz in Poland, where many Jews were killed. The war ended in 1945 with Hitler's defeat, though massive casualties were suffered on all sides.

1. WORLD WAR II
BY NELL PATRICK!:D

2. WHY IT BEGUN!
Germany was ruled by Hitler at the time of World War II, Hitler, who was known
as “The Fury” at the time, wanted to take over the whole of Europe. World War
I, which begun in 1914 wasted all of the German’s money, leaving them bankrupt
and angry. That was when Hitler came to power and tried to expand Germany
taking over different countries and also had a deal with Russia to split Poland in
half. England and France were getting a bit scared after Germany trying to take
them over (They tried but didn’t succeed) so the British Prime Minister, Neville
Chamberlain went over to Hitler and tried to make him sign a peace contract. He
did sign it but then he started to take over other countries and made England and
France furious and that triggered World War II.

3. WHAT HAPPENED WITH GERMANY?
At the time after World War II, every other country was blaming
the Germans for a loss of money and land, but the Germans had
nobody to blame. Instead, they blamed the Jews and started to say,
“Well, their country is Poland! Why should they be in with us, taking
all our money!” (Jews were very educated and made a lot of money),
so the Germans built concentration camps, the worst one called
Auchwitchz which was in Poland and was also the base of a book
called “The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.”

4. THE INVASION OF POLAND.
In 1939 on the first of September, Poland was invaded by Russia
and Germany, who had both made a deal to split Poland between
them. Auchwitchz, a concentration camp where the Nazis killed the
Jews, is also located in Poland. Hitler had made up something called
“The Lightning Attack” which was where Hitler would send tanks
into the country and let them clear the way, then he would send
planes in to help the tanks and finally, men would come into the
country clearing the rest of the survivors.

5. AUSCHWITZ AND OTHER CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
As you may know (From my previous slides), the Germans blamed the
Jews for losing the war so they set up concentration camps all over
Germany and Poland to kill the Jews (Concentration Camps are
where you get sent into a gas chamber and killed by gas). The worst
one was called Auschwitchz, located in Poland this was the worst
place at the time for killing innocent Jews. On the gates it says
“Never Again!” Which hopefully is true! 

6. THE JAPANESE AND ITALIANS.
The Germans, Italians and Japanese decided to team up with each
other, in which case they signed a contract of Peace. When they
teamed up in the war, the Germans became twice as powerful.

7. THE INVASION OF RUSSIA.
Near the end of the War, Germany wanted to try take over Russia but in
that time the Japanese were trying to take over a small country at the
South-West of Europe, yet, they couldn’t take it over, So, when Germany
were almost at the capital of Russia the Japanese asked for help so
Germany went to help them leaving the months to pass and the Winter to
come. When the Germans returned to their invasion of Russia, it was the
Winter season and winters in Russia are extremely cold so when they
tried they failed due to the cold.

8. AMERICA ENTERS THE WAR.
In 1941, the Japanese bombed one of America’s islands, making
them mad at the Germans, Italians and especially the Japanese.
America entered the War when France fell under the German’s
control helping great Britain to fight the Germans.

9. THE END OF WORLD WAR II.
World War II came to an end in 1945, when Hitler was defeated. In
reality though, nobody had won as many men had died and was twice
as bad at World War II. Luckily, the end of World War II didn’t
set off World War III like World War I did.
