This interactive presentation provides information about the Allied and Axis powers in World War II. Users can click on individual countries to learn more about their roles and leaders. It covers the major Allied countries of the US, Great Britain, and Soviet Union as well as Axis powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy. Key figures discussed include Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini. The presentation aims to give users a taste of how this type of interactive history lesson could be used in a classroom.
World War II began in the 1930s due to tensions leftover from WWI and the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy and Japan. The US initially remained neutral but joined the Allies after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war was fought on two major fronts in Europe and the Pacific and ended with the Allies' victory in 1945. However, the postwar period saw increased tensions between the US and Soviet Union that became known as the Cold War, characterized by espionage, military buildups and proxy wars between the two superpowers.
The Allied powers opposed the Axis powers during World War II and included England, the USA, France, and the USSR. Their main goals were to maintain peace after the destruction of World War I and prevent the Axis powers from gaining further control. While initially following a policy of appeasement, allowing Nazi expansion, the Allies eventually entered the war as countries were directly threatened with invasion. The Allied powers fought to achieve peace but failed to take decisive action to rescue victims of the Holocaust during World War II.
In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland starting World War 2 in Europe. Germany used blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland. In 1940, Germany invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, pushing the British forces back to Dunkirk. Italy then joined Germany in invading France, leading to France's defeat in June 1940. Britain stood alone against Germany until June 1941 when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Japan, seeking resources, attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, bringing the US into the war. The US and allied forces began to turn the tide against Germany and Japan in major battles like Stalingrad, North Africa, and the Coral Sea in 1942.

Hogan's History- World War I [Updated 18 Apr 2015]William Hogan
World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist. This caused a series of military alliances to take sides in the war, dividing Europe into the Allied and Central Powers. Trench warfare dominated the Western Front as both sides engaged in brutal battles along miles of fortified trenches. Conditions in the trenches were terrible, with soldiers facing constant dangers from artillery fire, machine guns, poison gas, disease, vermin, and more. Over time, new weapons like tanks and airplanes were introduced, but the war remained deadlocked for years until the Allied powers prevailed in 1918.
The document summarizes the key causes and events of World War II from 1939 to 1945. It discusses the six main causes, including dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles in Germany, the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy under Hitler and Mussolini, the policy of appeasement by European nations, Japan's invasion of China, the failure of the League of Nations to prevent aggression, and Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. It then outlines the major military campaigns and battles between the Allied and Axis powers, culminating in the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 that led to Japan's surrender, ending WWII.
German forces launched Operation Barbarossa in 1941, invading the Soviet Union. Photos show German troops occupying cities like Kiev and advancing across southern Soviet territories. Hitler studied maps with his commanders as the invasion progressed. Photos also depict German soldiers facing harsh winter conditions as their advance stalled near Moscow. The document then shifts to photos of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, showing damaged and sunken US ships. It concludes with additional photos depicting various aspects of World War II on the Eastern Front, North Africa, and daring raids/brutal reprisals carried out by both sides.
World War II began when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. This caused France and Britain to declare war on Germany. Germany then conquered much of Western Europe. In 1941, Germany broke its non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union by invading. The US entered the war after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Over the next several years, the Allied powers including the US, Britain, and Soviet Union fought against Germany and Japan. Germany surrendered in 1945 after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan, bringing World War II to an end after over 7 years of global conflict.
World War II was a global war lasting from 1939-1945. It involved most of the world's nations who split into two military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war resulted in over 60 million deaths, including over 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. The war ended with the defeat of the Axis powers and the establishment of the United Nations to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts.
World War 2 was the largest armed conflict between 1939-1945. It involved two opposing alliances: the Allies (UK, France, US, USSR and others) and the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan). Some key events included Germany invading Poland in 1939, the US entering the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, leading to Japan's surrender. Over 60 million people died making it the deadliest conflict in history. The war redrew political maps and accelerated decolonization as European empires declined in its aftermath.
World War I involved trench warfare along the Western Front between the Allied and Central Powers after the Schlieffen Plan failed. Soldiers lived for long periods in muddy trenches under dangerous and unsanitary conditions. New military technologies like machine guns, poison gas, airplanes, submarines, and tanks contributed to stalemate on the battlefields. The war effort totalized societies as governments took control of economies and recruitment to support their war efforts through rationing, propaganda, and censorship.
The document discusses key events and aspects of World War 2, including:
- Hitler's rise to power in Germany following WWI and his use of propaganda to gain support.
- The main countries involved in World War 2 that made up the opposing Allied and Axis forces.
- Hitler's goals in starting the war, which included taking revenge on countries that defeated Germany in WWI and pursuing racial purification policies.
- The Holocaust and Hitler's "Final Solution" that led to the genocide of approximately 11 million people, including over 6 million Jews.
- Major battles and campaigns during the war in both the European and Pacific theaters.
World War II was a global war from 1939 to 1945 that involved over 30 countries. The major Allied powers were Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, led by Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin respectively. The major Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan, led by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito respectively. Some key battles included the Battle of France in 1940, the Battle of Stalingrad from 1942 to 1943, and the Battle of Berlin from 1945. World War II resulted in millions of casualties and the collapse of the Nazi party in Germany and the Japanese and Italian empires.
World War II began in 1935 as Germany and Japan aggressively expanded their territories in violation of treaties from World War I. Adolf Hitler instituted a military buildup in Germany and remilitarized the Rhineland, alarming other European nations. Germany then annexed Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, showing that the policy of appeasement was emboldening German aggression. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war, marking the start of World War II in Europe. Japan also aggressively expanded in Asia, invading Manchuria in 1931 and engaging in a full-scale war with China from 1937. In 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into the war against Germany and Japan. Over
World War 2 started in 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. The Allies including England, France, USSR, and USA fought against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Major events included Germany rapidly conquering much of Europe, the Battle of Britain preventing a German invasion of Britain, the German invasion of USSR, and the US entering the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The tide turned in favor of the Allies with the Normandy landings on D-Day in 1944, and the war ended in 1945 with the surrender of Germany and Japan.
This document provides information about key World War 2 battles in Europe, including:
1) The Battle of Stalingrad, where German forces were defeated by the Soviets in 1943 after a long, brutal battle that resulted in over 1 million Soviet casualties and the capture of 91,000 German troops.
2) The Battle of Britain in 1940, where the British Royal Air Force defended Britain from German air attacks and prevented a German invasion.
3) Operation Torch and the North Africa Campaign from 1940-1943, where Allied forces fought German and Italian forces in North Africa under General Erwin Rommel before gaining control of the region.
1) The document outlines several key causes that led to the start of WWII, including the Treaty of Versailles, the Great Depression, and the failure of the League of Nations to stop aggression by Germany, Italy, and Japan.
2) It then describes the political and military situations in Germany, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the US in the late 1930s.
3) The outbreak of war is traced from Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which brought the US fully into the war.
1. Three countries turned to fascism after WWI: Italy under Mussolini, Germany under Hitler, and militarist Japan. Fascism emphasized the supremacy of the state over individuals and expanding territory by war.
2. The US initially pursued isolationism after WWI but Roosevelt believed in international cooperation. Germany annexed Austria and territories of other nations unopposed under the policy of "appeasement."
3. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, starting WWII. After quick victories over other European nations, Germany defeated France in 1940, leaving Britain to stand alone against Hitler.

2. The US initially pursued isolationism after WWI but Roosevelt believed in international cooperation. Germany annexed Austria and territories of other nations unopposed under the policy of "appeasement."
3. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, starting WWII. After quick victories over other European nations, Germany defeated France in 1940, leaving Britain to stand alone against Hitler.
Major Battles WW2 and End of the War.pptJuvenalLuna2
The document provides background information on the causes and early events of World War II. It discusses the Treaty of Versailles and its role in creating instability in Germany that allowed the rise of the Nazis. It also examines the worldwide economic depression, which further weakened democratic governments and allowed totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to gain power. The summary discusses key events in the early war period like Germany's invasions of Poland, France, and the Low Countries, as well as the Battle of Britain. It concludes by noting the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 marked a major turning point in the war.
World War II was the largest war in human history, involving countries around the globe from 1939 to 1945. It resulted in between 45-60 million deaths. The war had several causes, including the outcome of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, the policy of appeasement, and the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy under Hitler and Mussolini. The war began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.
The document provides background information on the causes and early warfare of World War II. It discusses the Treaty of Versailles and how it created resentment in Germany. It also discusses the worldwide economic depression of the 1930s and the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and communist USSR. Specifically, it describes the personalities and rise to power of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. It then outlines some of the major battles and events of WWII in Europe, including Germany's early victories and invasions, the turning point at Stalingrad, D-Day, and the final push to victory. It concludes with discussions of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, the formation of the UN, and postwar tensions that
World War II was a global conflict from 1939-1945 that involved most nations splitting into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. Key causes included the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of fascist regimes in Germany, Italy and Japan, and their subsequent aggression that violated international agreements. Major events included Germany's invasion of Poland starting the war, Germany and Italy's rapid conquests in Europe, Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor drawing the US into the war, the Allied invasions of German-occupied Western Europe on D-Day, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war. Over 60 million people died making it the dead
The document provides an overview of key events and concepts related to World War 2, including:
- The escalating aggression and expansionism of Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s which helped spark the war.
- The major phases and battles of the war on the Eastern and Western Fronts between the Allied and Axis powers.
- The total war involved the mobilization of entire populations and economies for military purposes and had massive demographic and economic consequences across Europe and Asia.
- The Holocaust led to the genocide of 6 million Jews and others in Nazi concentration camps.
- The war ended with the defeat of Germany and Japan in 1945, leaving the US and USSR as the new global super
World War II was caused by the outcome of World War I which humiliated and impoverished Germany, fueling nationalist sentiments. Germany, under Hitler, began rearming in violation of Treaty terms and invaded Poland in 1939, marking the start of WWII. Japan also expanded its military and attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, drawing the U.S. into the war against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. After several years of fighting around the globe, the Allied powers which included the U.S., Britain, Soviet Union and others defeated the Axis through massive invasions of Germany and Japan in 1944-1945, culminating in the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that led
1) During the late 1800s and early 1900s, European nations engaged in imperialism by colonizing parts of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific which led to tensions between countries and contributed to World War I and II.
2) By the 1900s, nationalism was on the rise in Europe as people took great pride in their countries, but this strong sense of nationalism also caused conflicts between nations.
3) To protect themselves from each other, European countries formed military alliances that ultimately divided them into two major alliance groups prior to both World War I and II.
World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war was caused in part by the Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI and humiliated Germany, as well as the worldwide economic depression in the 1930s. Key events included Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, the German blitzkrieg tactics across Europe, the US entry into the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Allied D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. Ultimately, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki led Japan to surrender in 1945, ending World War II.
The document provides a timeline of major events in history from the 1930s through World War 2. It includes the stock market crash of 1929, Hitler's rise to power in 1933, key events of World War 2 such as the Nazis invading Poland in 1939 and D-Day in 1944, and the liberation of countries like the Netherlands from German occupation in 1945.

The document summarizes key events and leaders involved in World War II. It describes how fascist governments led by Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy rose to power. Hitler expanded German territory aggressively and initiated the Holocaust. Japan also expanded its empire. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war, starting WWII. Germany swiftly conquered multiple European countries until the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944. The war ended after the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Over 70 million people died worldwide making it the deadliest conflict in history.
World War II was the most devastating war in history. It lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved most of the world's nations. Over 50 million people died during the war, including over 11 million in the Holocaust. The war was extremely costly for the US, increasing national debt from $9 billion in 1940 to $98 billion in 1945. Some of the underlying causes of the war included the harsh Treaty of Versailles after WWI, the worldwide Great Depression, the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, and isolationist policies among Western nations that led to appeasement of aggressors like Hitler.
Germany and Japan pursued oppressive policies during World War II to further their war efforts and territorial ambitions. The Nazis forcibly relocated millions of people within Germany for forced labor. Most horrifically, the Nazis systematically exterminated around 6 million Jews as part of the "Final Solution" through ghettos, mass shootings, starvation, and gas chambers. Non-Jewish people were also victims, with 9-10 million killed. Japan showed little regard for the peoples it conquered in Southeast Asia, exploiting them for resources and subjecting prisoners of war to harsh treatment. Both regimes committed widespread human rights atrocities.
1) Several dictators rose to power in the 1930s and threatened world peace, including Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mussolini in Italy, and Hitler in Germany.
2) Hitler began expanding German territory by annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. Britain and France appeased him with the Munich Pact despite warnings it would lead to war.
3) Hitler launched WWII by invading Poland in 1939. The Soviet Union also invaded Poland and the two countries later signed a non-aggression pact. Germany then conquered several European countries using blitzkrieg warfare.
4) Under Hitler, the systematic genocide of Jewish people and other groups known as the Holocaust resulted in the murders of over 11 million people
The document provides background information on World War 2. It describes how dictators like Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin rose to power in the 1930s in Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union. Hitler annexed Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, ignoring the Munich Pact. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, starting World War 2 in Europe. The US initially remained neutral but increased support for Britain. The bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 drew the US fully into the war on the side of the Allies against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan.
World War I caused the fall of several major empires and led to increased nationalism and authoritarian governments in Europe. Fascist regimes led by Mussolini, Hitler, and Hirohito rose to power. Aggressive expansion by Germany, Italy, and Japan led to World War II. The US initially remained neutral but joined the Allies after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Key Allied conferences planned the invasions of Normandy and defeat of Germany and Japan, who surrendered after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The document summarizes key events leading up to World War II, including war debts from WWI weakening peace efforts, the rise of totalitarian governments in Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union, Hitler's violations of the Treaty of Versailles and expansion of Nazi Germany, appeasement by Britain and France, the Nazi-Soviet nonaggression pact, the beginning of war in Europe with the invasion of Poland, Japan's expansion in Asia, America's increasing support for the Allies through lend-lease and modifying isolationism, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor drawing the US into the war, the major Allied and Axis powers, D-Day marking a turning point in defeating Germany, and the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in World War II in Europe and the Pacific theaters from 1942 to 1945. It discusses major battles like Stalingrad and D-Day, as well as Germany's policy towards Jewish people which led to the Holocaust. It also covers the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of the war.
World War II began in 1939 with Germany's invasion of Poland and ended in 1945. Major Allied powers including the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union and the United States fought against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. Some key events included Germany's invasion of Poland beginning the war, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor bringing the US into the war, the Battle of Stalingrad which marked a turning point, D-Day which opened a Western front, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to Japan's surrender and the war's end. Underlying causes included the Treaty of Versailles which weakened Germany economically and politically as well as the worldwide Great Depression which helped Hitler rise to power.
The Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany after World War 1, including territorial losses, demilitarization, and reparations payments. Germany attempted to circumvent these restrictions through secret military collaboration with the Soviet Union and building arms factories in other countries. German companies also established front companies and sold weapons designs to neutral countries to enable further arms development.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was established in 1933 to provide jobs for unemployed young men while preserving the country's natural resources. The CCC employed over 500,000 unmarried men between 18-25 years old from families on government relief to work on environmental projects like preventing erosion. Run by the U.S. Army, the CCC aimed to both reduce unemployment and preserve nature through constructing things like fire lookout towers and working to build the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Lastly, it briefly outlines the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, challenges faced by the
Charles Drew discovered techniques for long-term blood plasma storage, allowing plasma to be transfused regardless of the recipient's blood type. J. Robert Oppenheimer was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. Ray Kroc recognized McDonald brothers' efficient production system and convinced them to let him franchise the concept, founding McDonald's Corporation.
After World War II, technology led to increased domestic and international travel for business and pleasure. Greater access to news and other information through satellites and computers also provided cheaper and more convenient communication. Advances in heating, air conditioning, and their widespread adoption improved quality of life across the country and encouraged population growth in certain areas.
The document summarizes key technological developments in the late 20th century, including the growth of the airline and automobile industries, greater access to news and entertainment media through technologies like VCRs and DVDs, NASA's Apollo 11 mission that landed astronauts on the moon in 1969, the emergence of the computer industry and iconic companies like IBM, Apple, and Microsoft, the development of satellite systems that enabled technologies like cell phones and television, and the rise of the internet which changed how people access information.
The document summarizes key aspects of post-World War 2 American society in the 1950s including a strong economy with job growth and increased productivity and demand for American products. It also discusses the Interstate Highway System, the largest public works project in history, and how it contributed to increased housing and car demand. Finally, it outlines the evolving role of women in the 1950s workforce and home as well as Eleanor Roosevelt's expansion of human and civil rights for groups like women, workers, African Americans, and other minorities.
The document discusses the G.I. Bill, which provided college or vocational education for returning WWII veterans, one year of unemployment compensation, and many types of loans to buy homes and start businesses. This helped create a healthy job market with increased productivity and demand for American products after WWII through greater investment in education.
The Soviet Union began collapsing in 1985 as several republics resisted central control in Moscow and pushed for independence. Years of overspending on the military and lack of economic reforms led to growing unrest. By 1989, the Soviet republics of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and others were allowing East Germans to flee to the West through their territories, overwhelming East Germany. Mass protests in East Germany led to the resignation of its leader Honecker in October 1989. On November 9, 1989, East Germany suddenly announced its borders were open to everyone, and overwhelmed border guards allowed citizens to stream freely into West Berlin, marking the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Module Ten - U.S. Divided At Home Oover Vietnammsteven1
Americans were divided over US involvement in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with large protests against the war. In 1973, citing progress in peace negotiations, President Nixon ordered a halt to US attacks in North Vietnam and withdrawal of troops from South Vietnam. The Paris Peace Accords were subsequently signed, officially ending US participation in the Vietnam War.
The Space Race and nuclear arms race were heated competitions between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War. The Space Race began with the Soviet launch of Sputnik and involved satellites, manned spaceflight, and landing on the moon. The US and USSR engaged in a massive nuclear arms buildup, developing more powerful bombs like hydrogen bombs, and delivery systems like ICBMs that could span continents, in a quest to achieve military supremacy. Both sides developed large nuclear arsenals and second-strike capabilities, resulting in a balance of terror known as Mutually Assured Destruction that prevented direct military conflict but fueled a costly arms buildup throughout the Cold War.
The document summarizes key events of the Cold War era:
1) The Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949 was a response to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, in which Western allies airlifted supplies to the city to support its residents. Over 200,000 flights delivered enough food and fuel to sustain West Berlin.
2) The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China. After early successes, UN forces pushed the North Koreans back until China entered the war, leading to a stalemate along the original border.
3) The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 brought the world closest to nuclear war as the US and Soviet Union confronted each
The document discusses the Red Scare and McCarthyism during the Cold War era in the United States. It provides context on McCarthyism, which referred to making unsubstantiated accusations of disloyalty or communism against individuals between 1950-1956. Senator Joseph McCarthy led many of these attacks until 1954 when the Senate censured him for his actions. He died in 1957 from hepatitis. The document also includes lyrics from songs that reflect the paranoia around communism during this period.
Americans increasingly used credit to purchase consumer goods in the postwar period, as buying items on credit through monthly payments became a regular practice. The first credit cards emerged in the 1950s, including the Diners Club card and early plastic cards from American Express and Bank of America. Credit card use expanded dramatically in subsequent decades, with Visa becoming the largest credit card by the 1990s with nearly 400 million cards in circulation.
The United Nations was formed in 1945 to prevent future global wars, after the League of Nations failed following World War I. Representatives from 50 governments met in San Francisco to develop a plan for the new United Nations, with the goal of maintaining international peace and promoting cooperation on economic, social, and humanitarian issues. The United Nations officially began operating on October 24, 1945.
After World War 2, Germany was divided into four occupation zones controlled by the Allied powers - the US, UK, France and Soviet Union. Berlin, located within the Soviet zone, was also divided among the four powers. West Germany adopted democracy and self-governance with the withdrawal of the Western Allies. Meanwhile, East Germany remained under Soviet control and domination until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The document summarizes key aspects of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union such as their differing ideologies of capitalism versus communism, the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the American policy of containment to stop the spread of communism, the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and the building of alliances on both sides.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
2. CAUSES of WW II
Political instability and economic devastation in Europe resulting from World War I
World-wide depression
High war debt owed by Germany
High inflation
Massive unemployment

after WW I in Europe, and I am NOT talking about buildings, land, or even people.
5. I am talking about the Economy : Economic Devastation
1) Your money will NOT buy as much gum as it did before. You used to be able to get

Fascism is a political philosophy in which
total power is given to a dictator and
individual freedoms are denied.
14. AlliedAllied Leaders WW II
They were the leaders of the group of nations called “The
Allies”
15. The Allies were the ones fighting the Axis Powers. While there were other members of the
Allies, like Canada, Mexico, the main ones were The United States, Great Britain, and The
Soviet Union.
They joined together because they had a common enemy: Germany. Germany had
attacked Great Britain and The Soviet Union BEFORE the U.S. was even in the war.
Then when Japan attacked The U.S, and Great Britain in December of 1941, Germany
declared war on the U.S., in support of their friend Japan.
Eventually it was The U.S., G.B., and the Soviet Union and their allies on one side, and
Germany, Japan, and a few other countries on the other side.
18. U.S. Involvement in WWII
The Steps:
1.Isolationism (Great Depression, legacy of World War I)
2.Economic aid to Allies: The United States gave Britain war supplies
and old naval warships in return for military bases in Bermuda and the
Caribbean (Lend Lease).
3.Direct involvement in the war (After Pearl)
20. •Germany invades Poland, setting off war in Europe.
•The Soviet Union also invaded Poland and the
Baltic nations.
•Germany invaded France and captured Paris.
•Germany bombed London, and the Battle of Britain
began.

and never attacked by land.
The British WON the Battle of Britain
29.
30. We explained earlier how:
Japan had attacked many of her neighbors in East Asia: Manchuria, Korea, China, Burma,
Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaya. This created a situation of
RISINGtensions
The Japanese were very brutal (super mean) to the people they conquered.
U.S. started standing up to Japan.
No more scrap metal delivered ( Japan used this to melt down to make
weapons,).
No More spare parts for airplanes.
Shipments of oil would be stopped.
Without all of these resources Japan’s expansion would grind to a stop.
Japan needed to keep expanding their territory to get the raw materials they DID NOT
HAVE on their home islands ( Japan is a totally Island nation).
35. When the fighting was finally over on June 6th
, 1942 we had sunk 4 of the
most important Japanese aircraft carriers.

Largest attack EVER!!!!!!!
39. At the end of this first
push into The Soviet
Union (it came to an
end in December
1941), the Soviet
Army had pushed
back the strongest
attack of the German
Army.
Hitler had not won the
victory he had
expected, but the
situation of the Soviet
Union remained very
weak and uncertain.
The Germans did not reach their goals, but they also had not been pushed all the way
out of The Soviet Union.
Result : German attack STOPPED. NOT defeated, but the advance stopped
40. Soviet Union defeats Germany at
Stalingrad - July 17th
, 1942 – February

, 1943
In Stalingrad
41. Adolph Hitler refused to allow the German army to retreat, or to try to break out
of the Soviet army circle that was around them. They were doomed when it
proved impossible to get supplies to them by airplane.
42. Soviet Victory!!!
What It Meant:
For Germany:
Men:
750,000 men killed, missing or wounded
91,000 captured
Equipment:
3,500 tanks destroyed
12,000 large cannons destroyed
3,000 aircraft destroyed
It would take their factories 6 months to replace this, and they no longer had time….
The U.S. had joined the fighting in Europe/Africa.
For The Soviet Union:
Men:
Yes, they had lost over 1 million
killed, but it did not matter. They
were a large country, and had a lot
of men that could be sent into
battle.
Equipment:
It did not matter here either. They
were getting weapons from us, and
their factories were making
massive numbers of all kinds of
weapons.
44. By the end of August, 1944 ( 3 months time from the
landing) we had moved them back over 200 miles. What
was started on that day would eventually push the
Germans all the way back into Germany and defeat.
45. The End Of WW II In Europe –
May 8th
, 1945
We would keep pushing the Germans, and would not stop until they surrendered to the
Allies ( U.S., Great Britain, Canada, France, and The Soviet Union). The last group of
Germans surrendered on May 8th
, 1945. This was called VE-Day. That means VictoryVE-Day. That means Victory
in Europe Dayin Europe Day.
Before this happened, the two largest Fascist Dictator in Europe were dead:
On 27 April 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was captured by a group of Italians
who did not support him. He was trying to get to Switzerland and safety. On 28 April,
1945 they executed him.
46. On 30 April, as the Germans fought the Soviet
soldiers in Berlin Hitler saw that all was lost.
He did not want to die like Mussolini so he
committed suicide in his underground
safety bunker along with Eva Braun, whom he
had married just hours before their joint
suicide.
47. Dropping Of Atomic Bomb:
August 6th
and 9th
, 1945
Hiroshima and then Nagasaki
48.
49. Japan Surrenders
Japan surrendered on August 15th
, 1945 when Emperor Hirohito made a radio
broadcast. It was called VJ Day, which meant Victory over Japan.
The war was over.
Hideki Tojo, the former military leader of Japan, tried to kill himself, but was
captured, tried as a war criminal, and then executed on December 23rd
, 1948.
51. Why? Did Holocaust Happen: ( Anti-Semitism and Aryan
Supremacy)
Why did the Nazis make
Anti-Semitism
(which means hatred of Jews)
such an important of what
they believed and practiced???
WHY did they think like this
AND then ACT on it????
53. Anti-Jewish Boycott – April 1st
, 1933
On April 1, 1933, the Nazis carried out the first nationwide (all over the German nation) ,
planned action against Jews: a boycott targeting Jewish businesses and professionals. A
boycott is when you say you will not go to a certain business.
The Nazis said the boycott
was revenge against Jews
because Jews in Germany,
as well as Jews in other
countries, were spreading
stories around the World
to damage Nazi Germany's
reputation. They said the
stories about bad things
happening in Germany
against Jews were
not true (The Germans
really WERE doing bad
things to Jews.) Stormtroopers outside a Berlin store posting
signs with the words "Germans! Defend
yourselves! Do not buy from Jews"
54. In September 1935, the Nazi leaders
announced new laws which turned
many of their ideas about race into
law. These "Nuremberg Laws" took
citizenship away from German Jews.
Jews were now also not allowed to
marry or have close relations with
persons of "German or German-
related blood." Jews
were disenfranchised (lost the right
to vote) and could not hold public
office.
The first amendment to the
Nuremberg Laws defined anyone
who had three or four Jewish
grandparents as a Jew. It was not due
to a religion you practiced, but due to
who were your parents and grad-
parents.
Threats:
Nuremberg Laws – September, 1935
55. Segregation Of Jews Into Ghettoes – October,
1939 – Spring, 1944
