World war ii

Germany quickly occupied much of Europe. 4) Japan also expanded its empire in Asia and the Pacific, culminating in its surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 that drew the United States into the war against Germany, Italy,

World War II
The Rise of Dictators
  Benito Mussolini rose to power by appealing to Italians who thought they did not win enough in the Treaty of Versailles. By 1922 his fascist government- extreme nationalism and racism, forced the King of Italy to declare Mussolini the head of government
     He quickly ended democracy in Italy Boys and girls of all ages were forced into the army, or war material production He vowed to recapture the glory of ancient Romans In 1935 he invaded the African Nation of Ethiopia. Ethiopia cried to the League of Nations for help. The league banned the trading of weapons with Italy, but lacked the power to enforce the ban
   During the depression, Japanese grew frustrated at the government for not solving economic problems. In 1931, Japan attacked Manchuria, a province in Northeastern China The League of Nations condemned the attack, but took no action
   Throughout the 1930’s, Japan craved the natural resources of China After setting up a government in Manchuria, Japan slowly moved southward and took over more land In 1940, Japan would sign an alliance with Germany and Italy, and look to take over more territory including French Indochina, in order to acquire goods such as rubber and oil.
   In the late 1920’s Joseph Stalin became the communist leader of the Soviet Union He demanded complete obedience from the people he ruled He executed his rivals, ordered the deaths of thousands suspected of supporting his rivals, and sent millions of Russians to Labor camps.
   During the 1930’s, America still had large war debt from World War I. They passed a series of Neutrality Acts, which banned the sale of weapons to countries at war. The laws allowed only allowed trade to nations that could pay in cash
  Countries in the early 1930’s underestimated the impact of the new German dictator Adolph Hitler Hitler believed, “He who wants to live must fight, and he who does not want to fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law of life, has no right to exist.”
   Germany suffered greatly after the Treaty of Versailles. They lost land they had claimed, and had severe economic problems Hitler, like dictators in other countries, promised a glorious future to people that were humiliated by losing a war A dictator is someone who controls their country by force.
   With the German republic failing, Hitler took advantage of the suffering of the people of Germany He promised a better life for Germans, a realistic goal that only he could achieve. He was a dramatic public speaker, and crowds would gather to listen to him discuss how he would end inflation and create jobs.
   In 1921, Hitler became Chairman of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazi Party. The party was openly racist, and declared the German people superior to all races. He blamed many of Germany’s problems toward many races, but especially the Jews.
  Soon after Hitler became Chancellor (Ruler), he ended all democracy in Germany Hitler then rebuilt Germany’s military, which was a direct violation of the Versailles treaty, and formed an alliance with Italy in 1936.
   Hitler was a great politician In the early 1930’s he had charmed many leaders of the Western world at peace conferences, including Britain and France. The weak League of Nations was not strong enough to enforce regulations against Germany, when they starting violating the treaty of Versailles
   In 1936 he begins to expand Rhineland – The treaty of Versailles had declared the Rhineland, a German territory west of the Rhine River, a neutral zone. Hitler wanted the area returned to Germany, and he sent his new army in to take it
   Hitler’s next victim was Austria, a German Speaking nation. In 1938, he sent troops in and annexed it Then he attacked the Sudetenland, an area of Czechoslovakia where German speaking people lived. Hitler falsely claimed the people were being persecuted for being German.
    Czechoslovakia was prepared for war Britain and France feared all out war in the area, and sought peace in Sept. 1938 They used appeasement or avoiding war by accepting Germany’s demands Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, returned home to Britain after the Munich Conference, declaring the agreement had “Preserved peace for our time”
   In March 1939, Hitler broke the treaty and sent the army to take the rest of Czechoslovakia. This showed the world, finally, that Hitler was not to be trusted Meanwhile, Hitler had been making plans to invade Poland
   Hitler and Joseph Stalin of Russia were bitter enemies Hitler despised the idea of Communism Hitler needed however, to find a way to invade Poland, without angering the new Giant Soviet Union, which bordered Poland to the East
   The Soviet-German Non aggression pact was signed in 1939. This shocked the rest of Europe, for now they could not use the huge Soviet Union as an ally against Germany. Germany invaded Poland on September 1st 1939.
World War II Begins
    France and England declared war on Germany once Germany invaded Poland The German attack was swift and fierce Germany’s war philosophy was called a Blitzkrieg or “lightning war”. The Soviet Union attacked eastern Poland, and added it to their territory
   England and France could not help Poland because their defeat came so quickly. Stalin took advantage and forced the nations of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to accept soviet military bases, and attacked Finland when they refused Hitler proceeded to attack and occupy Denmark and Norway to the north.
  When spring of 1940 hit, Germany turned and attacked The Netherlands and Belgium. The two countries immediately asked for help from the allies – Great Britain and France After terrible bombing raids, the dutch and the people of Belgium were overrun
   British troops were losing and retreated to the North-West corner of France, where they were now trapped 800 ships – warships, ferries, and even fishing boats, were sent in to rescue the troops. More than 300,000 troops were evacuated to safety.
   Germany continued their march through France, while Italy attacked from the Southeast Germany, Italy and later Japan would form the Axis Powers and new alliance system had been formed ON June 14th, 1940, German troops marched into Paris. France surrendered a week later, and in 6 months almost all of Western Europe had fallen to the German Blitzkrieg.
   Great Britain was the final Western Europe nation that had not fallen to Hitler The Germans unleashed an aerial assault, bombing British shipyards, industries, and cities, including destroying entire neighborhoods in London, and killing many civilians Hitler wanted to break the British morale before invading
   Prime Minister Winston Churchill stated Britain would never surrender, and would fight on no matter the cost The Battle of Britain lasted until October, but the Germans never gained complete control of the skies above Britain. Hitler ended the air attacks after heavy losses of German aircraft
   Frustrated by failure in Britain, Hitler decided to embark on a lifelong goal, destroy the Soviet Union He surprised attacked Stalin and Russia in June 1941, and within months German Armies had moved into Soviet Territory The Soviet Union had now joined the Allied Powers
   Isolationists back home led a movement to keep America out of the war. Roosevelt vowed to remain neutral, but started to take the necessary steps toward war. He did start trading with the allies, and used the navy to protect ships against German Submarines, which included a “shoot on sight” command when a German sub fired on American Destroyers.
   Roosevelt decided to run for a third term, breaking the precedent set by George Washington Roosevelt promised to the people, “Your boys are not going to be sent to any foreign wars”. Roosevelt won an easy victory
   Meanwhile, Japan had been ravaging the countries and islands in Asia They seized French Indochina in Southeast Asia, and planned to take the East Indies, British Malaya, and the American territory of the Philippines for oil Roosevelt responding by freezing Japanese assets in banks and stopping the sale of oil and gasoline to Japan
   Fumimoro Konoye, the Japanese Prime Minister believed Japan could not beat America in a war. However, he was replace by Hideki Tojo, who did no share Konoye’s views. Members of Konoye’s staff warned, attacking America would awaken a sleeping giant.
   On November 20th, peace negotiations were ongoing between the U.S and Japan to resolve their differences. Tojo, confident of their military might, planned a surprise attack on the U.S. to destroy their entire naval capability in the Pacific. The base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was extremely vulnerable to attack
   On December 7th, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack through the air on Pearl Harbor. More than 2,300 soldiers, sailors and civilians were killed. The navy’s three aircraft carriers were away at sea, which was the only good news of the day.
   Pearl Harbor was the worst defeat in American Military history. The attack effectively ended America’s policy of isolationism. FDR asked for a declaration of war from congress, and congress quickly approved the action.
   America joined the Allied Powers, now consisting of America, Great Britain, and the unlikely ally, The Soviet Union Germany and Italy, the Axis Powers, along with Japan quickly declared war on America The entire cast of World War II was now set.
Life At Home
   Industry soared during the war More the 70,000 ships, 100,000 takes and airplanes, and millions of guns were made, creating jobs for men who were not drafted, and women. The WAC or Women’s Army Core, did not see combat action, but served in the army in clerical tasks or as nurses
    Cars stopped being made, now automobile industries were making tanks Women could not wear stockings, because nylon was imported from Asia, and was needed for parachute making Other goods were rationed including shoes, gasoline, tires, sugar, and meat. Cities had blackouts at night, so enemy pilots could not bomb them
   African Americans were segregated, but eventually many did become integrated Back home, workers still faced discrimination. Racial violence continued to take place. Poet Langston Hughes wrote: “ They say we’re fighting for democracy, then why don’t democracy include me?”
   After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, they were hated by other white Americans 2/3 of Japanese Americans, were born in the U.S, and had no relationship with Japan, other than how they looked This fact would make little difference to people and lawmakers.
   If Japan invaded the U.S., politicians questioned the loyalty of the Japanese The president directed the army to relocate more than 100,000 Japanese into detention camps. These were located mainly in desert areas. Successful business and home owner had to leave valuable possessions behind. Most stayed in camps for the next three years
  In 1944, the supreme court upheld the order providing for the relocation of Japanese Americans. In 1988, Americans decided that what they did was wrong, and congress issued an apology and gave each survivor $20,000, a token of the nations regret
War in Europe
   Britain, The Soviet Union, the United States, along with 23 allied nations, were fighting the Axis Powers Leaders decided to attack Europe first and then Japan. Allies needed stop Hitler before he took more land and became unstoppable. The first targets would be North Africa and Southern Europe
   The allies planned to drive the Germans out of Africa and Southern Europe Generals Dwight D Eisenhower and George Patten led several attacks, and drove the Germans out of Africa in May 1943 The Allies then used bases in North Africa to attack the Italian island of Sicily, and prepare an invasion of Italy.
   The Allies invaded in the winter of 1943, but met fierce resistance from German and Italian forces To the allies surprise, when the army closed in the people overthrew the dictator Mussolini, and the Italians surrendered. The Germans in Italy continued to fight.
   The fighting lasted through 1943, into 1944. In June, Allied forces broke through the German line and marched toward Rome. Rome was liberated in June of 1944.
   While the majority of the troops were in the South, The allies launched an Air War in the western front Planes from Britain continually bombed targets in Berlin, which included important war producing factories, along with major cities. More than 30,000 civilians died in the port city of Hamburg alone. Although civilians were now being killed, Germany was still determined to win the war.
    Meanwhile, Germans and Soviets waged war in the Soviet Union Germans surrounded the city of Leningrad, blockading it for months Civilians without food were forced to eat horses, cats, and dogs. They would not surrender to the Germans In early 1944 the siege was broken, and Soviets began pushing back
  No country in history had invaded Russia during the winter and won Hitler tried, but the weather conditions slowed his army. When the Germans attacked Moscow, the capitol, a ready soviet army turned them away and pushed them back
  IN the oil rich city of Stalingrad, German troops advanced and took the city, only to be surrounded in the cold by Soviet forces Cold and starving, German troops in the city surrendered, and the remainder of the army was finally on the retreat
    As soviets advanced , General Eisenhower, with American and British troops planned to take back France All of Southern England was a military base As troops landed in Normandy, France, many were shot trying to take higher ground After a few weeks, more than a million troops had landed in France
   After Normandy, the Allies pushed through France and took Paris on August 25, 1944 Germany now fought for survival on 2 fronts Allies were moving through Europe rapidly, and Germany was left with one final resistance
   In mid-December, Germany launched one last surprise attack along a 50 mile front in Belgium. A bloody, destructive battle took place, and after several weeks, Allied troops managed to drive the Germans back More than 100,000 troops were killed in battle.
   By Mid-April 1945, the Soviets surrounded Berlin Hitler, who was in an underground bunker for the months toward the end of the war, realized the situation was hopeless and committed suicide on April 30th. Germany, surrendered a week later, and the Allies declared May 8th VE DAY, or Victory in Europe
  President Roosevelt did not see the end to the war in Europe After a conference in Europe with Churchill and Stalin, Roosevelt returned to his vacation home at Warm Springs, Georgia. He died of a Cerebral Hemorrhage.
   Vice President Harry Truman took the oath of office Truman once asked to Eleanor Roosevelt, “Is there anything I can do for you”. Eleanor replied, “No, is there anything we can do for you. For you are the one in trouble now”
War in the Pacific and Beyond
   After Pearl Harbor, Japan quickly attacked the islands of Wake and Guam, which had key American bases in the Pacific Japan took over Thailand, Malaya, and captured Guam, Wake Island, and Hong Kong Americans held the Philippines, but combined American and Filipino forces were forced to retreat to the rugged Bataan Peninsula
   After months of fighting, Allied troops surrendered, and General MacArthur escaped to Australia. He promised the Filipinos, “I shall return” Japanese made prisoners march to a prison camp more than 60 miles away. Only 54,000 of the 76,000 prisoners reached the camp, as those who spoke up or fell along the way were shot and killed.
   Americans had low morale to this point. A small raid launched by an aircraft carrier bombed Tokyo, Japan. The raid had little importance, but raised American spirits American then fought at Midway Island, in the battle of midway. They were successful in destroying many planes and air craft carriers
    MacArthur used island hopping, or the attacking and capturing of key islands as a way to establish bases on the way to the Philippines, and later Japan The battles were the most gruesome of the war. Japanese were trained to fight for honor and death, for surrender was dishonorable to their nation This included suicide pilots known as Kamikazes
    The largest naval battle in history took place at Leyte Golf in the Philippines. 282 warships took part America destroyed most of the Japanese Fleet, and MacArthur In March, 1945, they seized the islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Japanese fought courageously to protect these islands near Japan
  An invasion of Japan, with many of the Japanese military believing death was a more honorable decision than surrender, would have cost Americans an estimated 300,000 – to potentially millions of lives. Truman was torn, because another option had become available
   Through efforts of scientist Albert Einstein, Americans developed a weapon harnessing the energy of the Atom The Manhattan Project, was designed to build this weapon before Hitler in Germany, who was rumored to have been researching the technology. The bomb was ready for tested and ready for use on July, 16th, 1945.
   Truman warned Japan, if it did not surrender, “It faced prompt and utter destruction” . Japan refused to surrender Truman ordered the use of the bomb On August 6th 1945, an American B-29 Bomber, The Enola Gay, took off and flew toward the Japanese city of Hiroshima
    When the bomb landed, it completely destroyed the city of Hiroshima 70,000 people were killed instantly Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, killing 40,000 more people Thousands more were injured, and many died later from radiation.
    After the bombings, the Japanese Government agreed to surrender. August 15th, 1945, was proclaimed V-J day, for Victory over Japan World War II was over In the years after the war, leaders from the Nazi Party and Japan were put on trial, and either jailed for life or killed for the war crimes they committed
    40 Million People died The Soviet Union suffered more than 20 million deaths Americans lost about 300,000 and over 1,000,000 were injured Yet, it was after the war, where the worst atrocities known in history would be discovered
The Holocaust
   Hitler warned in 1939, that Another war would lead to the destruction of Jews in Europe The Nazi leaders developed what they called “The final solution to the Jewish Qquestion” The solution was Genocide, or destroying an entire group of people
   Throughout his life, and especially when he reached power in 1933, he resented the Jews Nazi’s started to persecute Jewish people inside Germany Once the war began, Jewish people, men, women, and children were shot on sight and put into mass graves
   As Germany expanded, the Nazi’s that didn’t kill Jews rounded them up into trucks and trains They were put into concentration camps, or “labor camps” All belongings were taken, heads were shaved, and Jews were tattooed and numbered.
    Prisoners only had crust of bread or watery soup to eat. Thousands became sick and died People were stripped and put into shower stalls upon entry. Literally hundreds of people were put into stalls, not knowing if water was to come out of the shower heads, or poison gas, which would end their lives. Toward the end of their stay, many wished it was the gas.
   Auschwitz in Poland, Nazis killed between 1 and 2 million Jews. Thousands per day were gassed, and then bodies were burned in ovens, because there was not enough space for mass graves Millions of others, including Soviet Prisoners, Poles, Gypsies (Romani), Homosexuals, and people with handicaps were also ruthlessly killed.
   When allies reached Central Europe, they were shocked at what they found Soldiers, trained for the harshest of conditions, vomited on site These armies did not find people, they simply found survivors that no longer looked like human beings
