Background: The German people were angry- they were humiliated about the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (stripped of territory and arms and required to pay heavy restitution for WWI) In order to pay back that restitution they printed large amounts of paper money which lead to inflation ( huge economic problems) As a result Germany was looking for a leader that would solve their problems. Hitler Adolf Hitler proclaimed that he was the savior they were looking for and said that he would deal with the undesirable elements such as: Treaty Depression Communists and Jews Thus the National Socialist German Workers Party or the Nazis were born His title Fuhrer (tyrant) The regime (govt) Third Reich Hitler used all kinds of tactics (propaganda, charismatic speeches, his own military and secret police called the Gestapo) to take hold a nation that lasted for 12 years Mussolini Dictator of Italy also known as Il Duce He used the same tactics as Hitler to disassemble the democratic govt of Italy He took over Ethiopia when he was prompted by visions of a new Roman Empire that would dominate the land around the Mediterranean. Nationalistic Italian movement called fascism (a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government) Hirohito Emperor of Japan- military dictatorship He convinced the people that they were a superior race destined to rule others. Japan attacked nearly all of its Asian neighbors, allied itself with Nazi Germany and launched a surprise assault on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor Franco Dictator of Spain With the help of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, his Nationalist forces overthrew the Spanish government. Though he sympathized with the Axis powers, Franco largely stayed out of  HYPERLINK "http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii" World War II (1939-45) but did send nearly 50,000 volunteers to fight alongside the Germans on the Soviet front Axis Powers Italy, Japan, and Germany established an alliance that they believed could overpower most countries and would help them take over the nations of the world. Isolationism At this point the U.S. is trying to stay out and has tried to pass a series of neutrality acts so that we would not help the enemy- but it also made it impossible to help the friendly nations if they were attacked. Roosevelt opposed the acts Hitlers moves to create a Greater Germany: Rhineland Demilitarized zone established in the Treaty of Ver Germany forbidden to put troops there- Hilter broke treaty France was in an election and so did not act to stop this action Annex of Austria Without any challenge Hitler united Austria with Germany which became known as Anschluss. Sudetenland Part of Czechoslovakia that was predominately German in population Given to Hitler at the Munich Conference by British Prime Minister and French Premier in the hopes that it would end his aggression Hitler did not keep his promise and seized the rest of Czech Nonaggression Pact Signed this pact with Russian dictator Joseph Stalin Hitler invades Poland With the agreement from Russia that they would not attack eachother They also had a secret promise to split Poland Hitler now had clearance to invade Poland Britain and France give him 48 hrs to withdraw (he doesnt) They declare war on Germany This was the beginning of WWII! Blitzkrieg After Germany defeated Poland, Hitler used this type of attack to overwhelm the surrounding nations Britain Hitler thought that because Britain no longer had support that they would be forced to surrender Britain under the control of Winston Churchill was in for a long war RAF Royal Air Force Hitler knew that this Air Force would have to be neutralized in order to carry out a successful invasion He tried with daily missions to bomb both naval and airforce bases.... without success Remember the nonaggression pact with Russia- well The Nazi bombers withdrew from Britain and prepared to attack the Soviet Union. He did not keep his promise here either 9;M   % & ' . 4 > Q \ ] ^   4 ; ; B C tƸƜƸ{{peWhjhj5CJ$\aJ$hjhjCJ$aJ$hj6CJ$]aJ$hjhj6CJ$]aJ$hjCJ$aJ$h`rB5CJ$\aJ$h`rBh`rB6CJ$]aJ$h'Yh'Y6CJ$]aJ$h`rBh`rB5CJ$\aJ$h`rBCJ$aJ$h3&CJ$aJ$h`rBh'Y5CJ$\aJ$h'YCJ$aJ$hl_hl_CJ$H*aJ$hl_CJ$aJ$"L M   & ' $ > ^    < = gd3&gdl_=  #$tu()34AB67gd9C~gdjgdjgd3&tu *z#$4@ɾ폁sh]UGhe5he55CJ$\aJ$hd8 CJ$aJ$hd8 5CJ$\aJ$hl_5CJ$\aJ$hd8 hd8 5CJ$\aJ$hd8 hl_5CJ$\aJ$h9C~h'YCJ$aJ$h9C~h9C~0JCJ$aJ$jh9C~h9C~CJ$UaJ$h'YCJ$aJ$h9C~5CJ$\aJ$h'Y5CJ$\aJ$h9C~h9C~5CJ$\aJ$h9C~hjCJ$aJ$h9C~h9C~CJ$aJ$h9C~CJ$aJ$@AB7Habkm 1`bרϚtf^^^fhhCJ$aJ$hhhh5CJ$\aJ$hh5CJ$\aJ$h#iCJ$aJ$hBCJ$aJ$hB5CJ$\aJ$hBhB5CJ$\aJ$h h 5CJ$\aJ$hd8 5CJ$\aJ$hd8 hd8 5CJ$\aJ$h CJ$aJ$hB\dCJ$aJ$hd8 CJ$aJ$he5he55CJ$\aJ$he55CJ$\aJ$7blm 1bcGvgdi*gdhgdBgd3&!^fv$&<@AǿhHhHCJ$aJ$hH5CJ$\aJ$hHhH5CJ$\aJ$hHCJ$aJ$h CJ$aJ$hi*CJ$aJ$h eCJ$aJ$hhCJ$aJ$h#i5CJ$\aJ$hhh#i5CJ$\aJ$%&;<@AQRFgdh 1h/ =!"#$%D@D NormalCJ_HaJmH nHsH tHDA@D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No ListB^@B j Normal (Web)dd[$\$BOB j bottom_entrydd[$\$4U@4 9C~ Hyperlink >*ph,LM&'$>^ <=#$tu()3 4 A B  6 7 b l m  1 b c  G v %&;<@AQRF0(0p000p00p0p00000p00p00 000 000000000p000 0000 00000000000000p000p000000000000p00000p000000p000000000000000p000000 0000p00 00 000 0#$tu()@AQRO90O90O90FO90O90 P P PO90O90PPPPP VFM90,vM90M90p04Jt@ = 7#XH-|:-|:-:-:-<:-|:-:-<:-:-:-<:-|:-:-:-:-<:-<:-|:-|:-:-:-:-:-<:-<:-:-|:-| :-!:-:-:-|:-:-:- :-<:-":-|:-<:-:- :-?@ABCDEFG!!%%  zz ''X X # k 0 0 \ \ i i u u 33CC??ll  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGBF*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagscountry-region9H*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace HHFHFHFHFHFHHHFHFHFHHFHFHFHFHFHHHFHFHFHFHFHHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFHFH',JO~7 > < E  33'$=>] (4 @  5 b m  $<@APtatefam5Xsl_ d8 H$i*`rB'YB\d eh#i9C~e5j3&HB@@@UnknownG>Cx Times New Roman5Symbol3& :Cx Arial;(SimSun[SO"qh3g33AA!243 H)?l_WWII- 1940 s (Europe)tatefam5tatefam5Oh+'0 ( D P \ ht|WWII- 1940s (Europe)1WII tatefam50sateateNormal5 tatefam50s3teMicrosoft Word 10.0@ZNc!@r"c@R*a@r"cA՜.+,D՜.+,L hp  Hewlett-PackardA WWII- 1940s (Europe) Title 8@ _PID_HLINKSA)k+http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii  !"#$%&'()+,-./013456789<Root Entry FP"c>1Table$WordDocument",SummaryInformation(*DocumentSummaryInformation82CompObjj  FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
