Introduction

        This blog will enrich your knowledge about World War II. It will show who caused the war, what effects each country felt during the war and how they dealt with the situation presented. From Hitler to Winston Churchill, I will cover what steps each leader had to take to try and lead their country through this devastating war. With propaganda to try and raise the morale of the citizens to the development of the Atomic Bomb.

          Chapter 16 covers Hitler's beginning, when Hitler and Stalin signed a 10-year nonaggression pact on August 23rd. Hitler promised him territory. Hitler first tried the strategy of blitzkrieg to take over Poland. It was a huge success. Later Hitler would launch a surprise invasion on Denmark and Norway. He planned to build large bases along the coasts to strike at Great Britain. Germany would later attack Great Britain, but they held off the attacks long enough for Germany to back off. 2 years after signing the pact with Stalin he would break it and invade the Soviets in 1941. Japan would join with Germany, and at the end of 1941 Japan launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, severely hurting the United States navy. The battle of Midway was a turning point in the fight against Japan. Finally the Chapter goes over the worst of World War II. It covers the Holocaust, how it started and who Germany targeted in it's killings.
