World War II had several significant themes: 1. The policy of appeasement failed to prevent war as Hitler continued his aggression and took over more territory. 2. New mobile warfare tactics using planes, tanks, and radios allowed for quick lightning attacks and the invasion of France in 1940. 3. Civilians became targets of air attacks as residential areas near factories were bombed, causing many deaths in places like London, Coventry, Dresden, and the firebombing of Tokyo. Over 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

World War 2 started on September 3rd, 1939 when Britain declared war on Germany after Germany invaded Poland and broke the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. During the war, strict blackouts were enforced in Britain and children were evacuated from cities to safer rural areas to protect them from bombing. The war lasted over 6 years and ended on May 8th, 1945 with an Allied victory led by Britain.
Life On The Home Front

Italy was ruled by the fascist dictator Mussolini in the 1930s. Mussolini invaded Abyssinia in 1935 for revenge from a previous defeat, to gain an African colony, and because he admired Japan's recent invasion of Manchuria which faced no consequences. The League of Nations imposed sanctions on Italy but they were ineffective as supplies could still pass through the Suez Canal. Italy conquered Abyssinia in 1936, damaging the League's reputation and pushing Italy closer to allying with Hitler's Germany.

Appeasement in an international context is a diplomatic policy of making political or material concessions to an aggressive power in order to avoid conflict.
Mitchell Mann
The document discusses several key topics related to World War 1:
- European imperialism and nationalism led countries to compete for colonies in Africa and other regions, contributing to tensions.
- Trench warfare resulted in horrific conditions for soldiers, with rats, soggy trenches, and constant risk of attacks at dawn and dusk.
- The US initially did not enter the war but was drawn in by Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare and sinking of passenger ships like the Lusitania, as well as an intercepted telegram proposing a German-Mexican alliance against the US.

HISTORY IGCSE CONTENT - 20TH CENTURY OPTION - THE ROAD TO WW2: ANSCHLUSS 1938. The Anschluss, also known as the Anschluss Österreichs, refers to the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938. The idea of an Anschluss began after the unification of Germany excluded Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871. Start date: 12 March 1938.
Coherence principle
The document discusses two key events leading up to World War 2 in Europe:
1) The 1938 Munich Agreement where Britain and France agreed to Germany annexing Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland in exchange for promises of peace from Hitler. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared it was "peace for our time".
2) The 1939 Nonaggression Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union where they secretly agreed to divide Poland between them, allowing Hitler to invade Poland on September 1 without fear of a two-front war.
War In Europe Slides
The document discusses several key events leading up to World War II, including the limitations of the League of Nations in preventing aggression, Germany's policy of autarky and rearmament, Hitler's bloodless conquests through annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland, and the Western policy of appeasement. It also mentions the Nazi-Soviet pact and invasion of Poland.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS: THE ABYSSINIAN CRISIS
LEAGUE OF NATIONS: THE ABYSSINIAN CRISIS.
Some historians believe that the Abyssinian crisis destroyed the credibility of the League of Nations. It was the British and French foreign ministers, Hoare and Laval, who secretly planned to carve up Abyssinia and give a chunk of the country to Mussolini. Hoare and Laval lost their jobs because of this idea.
Hitler and the Nazis
The document discusses the rise of the Nazi party in Germany from 1919 to 1945, including how Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 and established a totalitarian dictatorship. It describes how the Nazis gained support by reducing unemployment and appealing to nationalist sentiment, but also discusses the repression of political opponents and persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime.

2) In the 1930s, Hitler aggressively expanded German territory by remilitarizing against the Treaty of Versailles and annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, despite the failed appeasement policy of Britain and France.
3) In 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, starting World War II in Europe as Britain and France declared war on Germany. Germany then rapidly defeated Poland, France, and other countries using blitzkrieg warfare.
HISTORY IGCSE CONTENT - 20TH CENTURY OPTION - THE ROAD TO WW2: CZECHOSLOVAKIA...
Czechoslovakia began to fall apart after losing the Sudetenland to Germany. Poland and Hungary took parts of Czech territory while Germany occupied the rest in March 1939. Britain and France changed tactics and promised to defend Poland if it was attacked, questioning whether appeasement had been a mistake. Historians have differing views on appeasement, with some arguing it allowed Germany to make more demands while others believe it was necessary to avoid war while rearming from World War I.
Between the world_wars (1)
Important changes took place in Europe in the 20 years between World War I and World War II. Many European nations were destroyed and bankrupted by WWI. Russia underwent a revolution and became the Soviet Union. The harsh Treaty of Versailles created bitterness in Germany. New ideas like Freudian psychology and Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized thought. In the US, the Roaring Twenties saw economic growth and new consumer goods, but the Great Depression began with the 1929 stock market crash and led to worldwide economic problems. Rising unemployment and desperation in Germany and Italy allowed dictators like Hitler and Mussolini to rise to power, playing an important role in causing WWII.

Churchill fp
Churchill and Roosevelt had a close friendship during WWII, meeting over 11 times and exchanging over 1,700 letters. They worked closely together to secure aid for Britain through Lend-Lease and ensure the USA joined the war against Germany and Japan. However, Churchill's relationship with French leader Charles de Gaulle soured over the course of the war. Initially admiring de Gaulle, Churchill grew frustrated with de Gaulle's distrust of Britain and the USA and his refusal to cooperate. Their disagreements centered on France's role and territories in the postwar world. While Churchill advocated for French interests, he saw de Gaulle as a threat to European peace and an obstacle to postwar cooperation.

He rapidly transformed Germany into a single-party Nazi state, rearming the military in violation of Treaty of Versailles terms and enacting racist anti-Semitic laws. Through intimidation and broken agreements, Hitler expanded German territory until invading Poland in 1939, launching World War II.

Art is a product of human experience that captures and preserves both beautiful and ugly aspects of life.

Art reflects the essence of societies through use of various elements like color, form, line, shape, space, texture and value. It guides viewers' eyes through compositional lines and communicates information and emotions. Art also depicts war in different ways like through pictorial records, propaganda, or protest against violence and suffering.

She runs, she falls, and the child flies in an arc into the fire. -- Margaret Freyer, survivor We saw terrible things: cremated adults shrunk to the size of small children, pieces of arms and legs, dead people, whole families burnt to death, burning people ran to and fro, burnt coaches filled with civilian refugees, dead rescuers and soldiers, many were calling and looking for their children and families, and fire everywhere, everywhere fire, and all the time the hot wind of the firestorm threw people back into the burning houses they were trying to escape from.
