• As you recall, we have examined events that brought about
World War II. We’ve also examined why the U.S. entered the war.
• The U.S. helped turn the tide of the war, just as they did in
World War I. The United States was becoming a superpower. In
fact, World War II would legitimize the status of the United States
as a global superpower. This will cause conflict in the years
following World War II all the way through the 1980s in what will
become known as the Cold War.

The War Begins: September 1st, 1939
• On March 15th, 1939, Hitler took over the rest of
Czechoslovakia and then turned his attention to Poland.
• On March 31st, 1939, France and Britain pledged support to
Poland, agreeing to help if Germany invaded.
The War Begins: September 1st, 1939
On August 23rd, 1939, Hitler and Stalin signed a Non-Aggression
Pact in which they agreed not to fight each other. In a second
secret pact, they agreed to divide Poland (as well as other
Eastern European nations) between them. This eliminated the
possibility of a two-front war.

The War Begins: September 1st, 1939
• Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939, and defeated
the country in 3 weeks.
• This was known as the blitzkrieg, or lightning war. It was a fast
and concentrated land and air attack that took enemies by
surprise.

Germany was able to defeat Poland in less than a month for four
major reasons:
1. It was the first time that the blitzkrieg was used, so no one
really knew what to expect.
2. Germany had a more advanced military than Poland.
3. France and Britain were unable to aid Poland in time.
4. Finally, the Soviet Union came to Germany’s aid, and
under the terms of the secret non-aggression pact, seized
eastern Poland.

War on the Western Front
• On April 9th, 1940, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway.
The Phony War was over. Soon the Netherlands, Belgium and
Luxembourg were overrun.
• Fall of France: Germany went around the Maginot Line and
invaded France. The Germans divided the British and the
French troops, forcing the British to retreat to the northern city
of Dunkirk.
War on the Western Front
• As a result of the British retreat to Dunkirk, 340,000 British troops
were cut off and had to be carried back to England by 900
vessels. This was one of the greatest rescues in the history of
warfare.
• On June 17th, 1940, France surrendered to Germany, leaving
Britain alone to fight. Under the terms of surrender, Germany
occupied the northern three-fifths of France and the entire
Atlantic coast southward to Spain.

the fight against Nazi Germany in an underground resistance
movement.

Battle of the Atlantic
• Hitler ordered submarine attacks off the eastern U.S. coastline.
In total, 681 ships were sunk in the Atlantic during the first seven
months of the war.
• By May 1943, U.S. convoys with naval escorts using sonar
started sinking German u-boats faster than the Germans could
replace them. The U.S., however, began launching cargo ships
fast enough to keep up with their losses.
Battle of the Atlantic
It was the longest naval battle of World War II, lasting almost the

Operation Torch (The North Africa Campaign)
In February 1941, Hitler sent General Erwin Rommel (nicknamed
“the Desert Fox” for his shrewd tactics) to reinforce the Italians
fighting in North Africa.
Operation Torch (The North Africa Campaign)
• Rommel threatened British controlled Egypt and the Middle East,
but British General Bernard Law “Monty” Montgomery won a
decisive victory at the Battle of El Alamein. The German army
retreated to the west. The Battle of El Alamein was a turning point
in the North African campaign.
• In February 1943, the inexperienced Americans suffered a major
defeat at Kasserine Pass. They learned from the defeat,
however, and by early May 1943, the last of the German Afrika
Korps surrendered.

The Fall of Mussolini
Soviet leader Joseph Stalin wanted the Allies to open a second
front in France, but FDR and Churchill felt that they did not have
enough troops to do it. After the Allies gained control of Africa,
their next target would be Italy.
The Fall of Mussolini
• Shortly after the invasion of Italy, Mussolini was defeated in the
Italian election. As a result, Italian King Victor Emmanuel III
stripped Mussolini of power and arrested him.
• Hitler sent troops to free Mussolini and restore his power. It
would take 18 months to drive the Germans out of Italy.

where it was hung upside down at a service station for public
viewing and to provide confirmation of his death.

Battle of Stalingrad
• In Mein Kampf, Hitler called for the conquest of the Soviet Union
to give the German people Lebensraum (“living space”).
• Hitler believed Germany needed to be self-sufficient, which
meant that it needed its own sources of food and oil.
• Hitler decided to turn his war machine to the east and seize the
farmland in the Ukraine (part of the Soviet Union).
Battle of Stalingrad
The intensity of the attack took the Soviet Union by surprise.
Because they had been treated so poorly by Stalin, the Soviet
people welcomed the Germans, whom they thought were there
to liberate them. This feeling ended once the German troops
introduced forced labor and began executing citizens.

U.S. 4.9.1 Bellringer 4/1/15
Battle of Stalingrad
• Stalin had ordered his troops to defend the city at all costs.
Unlike the Germans, the Soviets were well equipped to fight in
the winter weather.
• As the weather grew worse, thousands of wounded, starving
German soldiers froze to death in subzero temperatures.
Throughout the battle, the Soviets offered many chances for
the Germans to surrender. Hitler, unfazed, refused to let his
troops surrender.
There were many instances of
“cannibalism by necessity” during the
Battle of Stalingrad. The Stalingrad
police even formed a special division
to combat cannibalism.
“Surrender is forbidden. The 6th Army will hold
their position to the last man…and by their
heroic endurance will make an unforgettable
contribution toward…the salvation of the
Western World.”
Battle of Stalingrad
Finally, against Hitler’s commands, the surviving German troops
simply quietly surrendered. The Battle of Stalingrad ended on
January 31st, 1943, ten years and one day after Hitler had come
to power in Germany.
Battle of Stalingrad
• The Germans were finally defeated at the Battle of Stalingrad,
considered the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare.
• Cost to the Soviet Union: 1,250,000 Soviets were killed.
• Cost to Germany: 240,000 Germans were killed and
91,000 Germans were captured.
German Prisoners of WarDead Soviet Soldiers
Battle of Stalingrad
• Ten days after the invasion, Stalin broadcast a message to his
people- do not leave anything behind that the enemy could
use. So, as troops retreated, they destroyed everything that
could be useful to the Germans.
• Stalin repeatedly asked the Allies for help. Though he did not
receive it, he did convince them to invade Italy.

Battle of Stalingrad
The 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment fought during the Battle of
Stalingrad. The regiment, like many of the anti-aircraft units, was
made up almost entirely of young women (volunteers) who were
barely out of high school.
Operation Overlord (The D-Day Invasion)
• Operation Overlord was the code for the invasion of Europe- to
take Europe back from Axis Powers.
• D-Day (Day of Invasion): On June 6th, 1944, the Allies landed on
France’s Normandy coastline with 156,000 troops, 4,000 landing
crafts, 600 warships, and 11,000 planes.

Battle of the Bulge (Operation Overlord)
• On December 16th, 1944, Hitler launched a counterattack to
seize the Belgian port city of Antwerp.
• This was the last major offensive by the Germans, and would
eventually result in Germany’s full surrender.
General Patton
Battle of the Bulge (Operation Overlord)
Germany's goal was to split the British and American Allied line in
half, capture Antwerp, and encircle and destroy four Allied
armies. Hitler hoped to force the Western Allies to negotiate a
peace treaty in the Axis Powers' favor. Once that happened, Hitler
could fully concentrate on the eastern theater of the war.
Hitler and his General Staff review battle plans
Battle of the Bulge (Operation Overlord)
During World War II, a group of American
soldiers used fake tanks and pre-recorded
sounds to deceive the Nazis into thinking their
army was bigger than it actually was. They
were called the ‘Ghost Army’. German
soldiers booby trapped paintings and hung
them crooked.
Battle of the Bulge (Operation Overlord)
• The Germans smashed into the U.S. army and pushed it back,
forming a bulge in the Allied line and cutting off U.S. units.
• Eisenhower ordered General George S. Patton to the battle.
Patton’s Third Army moved north to help stop the advance.
After a month long battle, the Germans were pushed back with
heavy losses that could not be replaced.
Eisenhower and Patton U.S. Third Army
Battle of the Bulge (Operation Overlord)
• Germany was in retreat on all fronts. The Soviets pushed in from
the East; the Allies pushed from the West.
• The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle fought in Western
Europe during World War II.
• It was also the costliest battle in terms of casualties for the U.S.,
whose forces bore the brunt of the attack, during all of WWII.

Hitler committed suicide on April 30th, 1945, using his
Walther PPK 7.65.
Accounts differ as to the cause of death; one
states that he died by poison only, and another
that he died by a self-inflicted gunshot while biting
down on a cyanide capsule. Contemporary
historians have rejected these accounts as being
either Soviet propaganda. There is also controversy
regarding the authenticity of skull and jaw
fragments. In 2009, American researchers
performed DNA tests on a skull Soviet officials had
long believed to be Hitler's. The tests revealed that
the skull was actually that of a woman.
The War in Europe Ends
After Hitler committed suicide, many major Nazi leaders followed.

The world was led to believe that Hitler had died in battle. The
truth of his death would have been too shameful.
The War in Europe Ends
Eisenhower accepted the unconditional surrender of Germany (and
the end of the war in Europe) on May 8th, 1945. This date would

Quizzes and Tests
Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
General MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz developed the
island-hopping technique, which meant avoiding Japanese
strongholds and instead attacking less protected islands. By
hopping from island to island, the Allies moved closer to the main
Japanese islands, putting themselves in a position to bomb Japan.
Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
The Bataan Peninsula fell in early April 1942. As a result, the
Japanese captured about 76,000 Filipinos and Americans as
prisoners of war. The Japanese split them into groups of 500 to
1,000 and forced them to march 60 miles in the tropical heat to a
railroad junction. They took the train to within 8 miles of an army
camp, then walked the rest of the way.
Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
This ordeal became known as the Bataan Death March. During
the march, the POWs, both American and Filipino, were denied
water and rest and many were beaten and tortured. At least
10,000 prisoners died during the journey. Many were executed by
the guards when they became too weak to keep up.
Many Filipinos risked- and sometimes
lost- their lives to give food and water
to the captives during the March.
Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
The brutality of the Japanese soldiers defied the international
standards of conduct towards POWs in the 3rd Geneva
Convention.

marked a turning point in favor of the Allies in the Pacific War.
Battle of Guadalcanal
When the United States defeated the Japanese on the island of
Guadalcanal, it became their first victory on land and allowed the
Allies to take the offensive in the Pacific.

Battle of Midway
• The Battle of Midway began in June of 1942. Over 100 Japanese
ships were heading to invade Midway Island, but the U.S. had
broken the naval code. We were waiting for the Japanese.
• The U.S. sank all 4 Japanese aircraft carriers, a cruiser, and 250
planes. Japan lost some of their most skilled pilots.
• As in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway was
fought entirely from the air, using carriers based in the Pacific
Ocean.
Battle of Midway
The Battle of Midway was significant because it assured America’s
position of naval power in the Pacific Ocean and changed the
course of the war in the South Pacific in favor of the United States.
The U.S. victory also made it easier for the U.S. navy to advance
across the Pacific Ocean.

The Manhattan Project
• The Manhattan Project was code for the building of the atomic
bomb- one that could destroy an entire city.
• J. Robert Oppenheimer led a team of scientists in a secret lab in
Los Alamos, New Mexico to build the actual bomb.
The Trinity Test
The Manhattan Project
• The debate turned to the question of whether or not to actually
use the bomb. Some scientists claimed it would be immoral to
use the weapon without warning Japan first. Those in favor of the
bomb claimed it would save American lives and that it needed
to be used in order to justify the cost of building it.
• President Harry S. Truman made the final decision to use the
bomb. He gave Japan one last chance to surrender, or face
utter destruction. Japan refused.

Dropping of Atomic Bombs on Japan
On August 6th, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb (code
named “Little Boy”) on the city of Hiroshima, an important
Japanese military center. 43 seconds later, almost every building
in the city collapsed into dust. In spite of the incredible
destruction, Japanese leaders still refused to surrender.

Conference
The Casablanca Conference
• The Casablanca Conference took place in January 1943.
Because it took place in the midst of war, it focused on strategy.
• Churchill and Roosevelt decided to maintain the approach of
dealing with Europe first.
• They also decided that they would accept nothing less than
unconditional surrender from the Axis Powers.
The Tehran Conference
• The Tehran Conference also took place in 1943, and again
focused on strategies. In it, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin
decided to open up a second battle front in Europe.
• They decided that the Soviets were to enter into war against
Japan after the defeat of Germany.
The Yalta Conference
The MAIN purpose of the Yalta Conference was to develop plans for
post-war Europe.
The Yalta Conference
• It took place from February 4th – 11th, 1945. The plans included:
1. After Germany surrendered, they were to be disarmed and
the country would be divided into four parts, to be governed
by Great Britain, France, the U.S., and the Soviet Union.
2. They agreed to hold a war crimes trial after the war.
3. The Soviet Union would get concessions in Manchuria for
entering the war against Japan.
4. Plus, the Soviets were to receive 3 seats in the United Nations
General Assembly.
The Yalta Conference
Stalin never fulfilled the promises he made at the Yalta
Conference. In fact, according to critics, Roosevelt and Churchill
did not do enough to prevent the eventual Soviet domination of
Eastern Europe. This set the stage for the Cold War.

The Potsdam Conference and Declaration
• In 1945, Allied leaders gathered at the Potsdam Conference to
decide how to administer punishment to the defeated Nazi
Germany, which had agreed to unconditional surrender nine
weeks earlier on May 8th (V-E Day).
• The goals of the conference included establishing post-war
order, peace treaties, and countering the effects of war.
r
The Potsdam Conference and Declaration
• They issued the Potsdam Declaration, which had numerous
provisions, including:
1. The unconditional surrender of Japan (or it would face
prompt and utter destruction).
2. The set up of a council to administer Germany.
3. The set up of machinery to negotiate peace treaties.
4. Transfer of German people out of Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, and Poland and into Germany.

The Holocaust
During World War II, the Nazis carried out a brutal plan that led to
the deaths of 6 million Jews and other victims, including blacks,
gypsies, and homosexuals. The victims were identified by patches
on their clothing (EX: Jewish Star of David).
The Holocaust
The “Nuremburg Laws” established a pseudo-
scientific basis for racial identification. Only people
with four German grandparents (four white circles in
top row left) were of "German blood". A Jew is
someone who descends from three or four Jewish
grandparents (black circles in top row right). In the
middle stood people of "mixed blood.” Also includes
a list of allowed marriages and forbidden marriages.
The Holocaust
Jews in Europe faced persecution for their religious beliefs for
centuries. In the mid-1800s, a new form of anti-Jewish prejudice
arose based on racial theories. Some claimed Germanic people
called “Aryans” were superior to Middle Eastern people called
Semites. Semitic peoples included Arabs and Jews, but the term
often applied to Jews only.
r
The Holocaust
• Anti-Semitism was a term used to describe the discrimination or
hostility, often violent, directed at the Jews. When Hitler
became Germany’s leader in 1933, he made anti-Semitism the
official policy of the nation.
• The Germans established ghettos in which the Jews were
forced to live. In the Warsaw ghetto, around 400,000 Jews were
confined to an area about 3% of the size of the city. A wall
topped with barbed wire and guarded by Germans
surrounded them.

The Holocaust
At concentration camps, where forced labor was done, Jews
received very little food. Hunger, overcrowding, and a lack of
sanitation brought on diseases.
“Work Makes Freedom,” at Dachau and Auschwitz
Map of Camps
The Holocaust
Death camps were different from concentration camps- they
were used for mass murder. Gas chambers, which used poison
gas to kill people, were installed at the death camp in Auschwitz
(located in Western Poland).
Tracks leading to Death Camp at Auschwitz
The Holocaust
Jews would be loaded onto cattle trains and shipped to the
death camps. They were told they were going to The East to work.
At 4 of the 6 death camps, nearly all were murdered shortly after
they arrived.
The Holocaust
Hungarian Jews are selected for the gas chambers
“Their possessions were seized by the Nazis to help fund the war. They
were then herded naked into the gas chambers. Usually they were
told these were showers. To avoid creating panic, they were
sometimes given a small piece of soap and a towel and were told to
remember where they had put their belongings. When they asked for
water, they were told to hurry up, because coffee was waiting for
them in the camp and it was getting cold.”
Auschwitz Gas Chamber
“Once the chamber was full, the doors were screwed shut and
pellets of Zyklon-B were dropped into the chambers, releasing toxic
cyanide. Those inside died within 20 minutes, but it is estimated that
about one-third of the victims died immediately.”
According to a witness, “Shouting and screaming of the victims
could be heard through the opening and it was clear that they
fought for their lives.” When they were removed, the victims were
found half-squatting, their skin colored pink with red and green spots,
some foaming at the mouth or bleeding from the ears.

including jewelry or gold fillings from their teeth.

The Nuremburg Trials
In November 1945, at the Nuremburg Trials, Nazi leaders were put
on trial for crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and
war crimes.
Hermann Goring, far left,
was considered the most
important Nazi official
after Hitler’s suicide.
The Nuremburg Trials
An International Military Tribunal was composed of members
selected by the U.S., Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France.
The tribunal gave 12 of the 24 defendants the death sentence.
Hermann Goring killed
himself the day before
he was supposed to be
executed.
The Nuremburg Trials
Most importantly, the Nuremburg Trials established the principle that
individuals are responsible for their own actions. The tribunal
rejected the idea that they were only “following orders.”

Founding of the United Nations (UN)
• The United Nations (UN) was founded on October 24th, 1945,
due to the recognition that mankind could not afford a third
world war.
• The UN’s statement of principles was based on the belief that an
international peacekeeping organization could settle disputes
without resorting to warfare.
• The primary inspiration for the creation of the United Nations
was the failure of the League of Nations. It was formed on the
basis of the principles of the Atlantic Charter of World War II.

Postwar Order
Following World War II, the U.S. and the Soviet Union emerged as
the two global superpowers. This happened because the other
nations of great power were severely weakened by the disasters
of war.
Postwar Order
• The U.S. and the Soviet Union would go from being allies during
World War II to being enemies almost immediately after the
conclusion of World War II.
• Largely because of the development of the atomic bomb, the
United States and the Soviet Union became engaged in a long-
term standoff known as the Cold War, which would last from the
end of World War II until the 1990s.
Postwar Order
The Cold War would be fought not with bullets, but with
ideologies. One of the areas where this would play out would be
in Eastern Europe, where the largest concentration of communist
countries would be located.

  • 89. Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March General MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz developed the island-hopping technique, which meant avoiding Japanese strongholds and instead attacking less protected islands. By hopping from island to island, the Allies moved closer to the main Japanese islands, putting themselves in a position to bomb Japan.
  • 90. Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March
  • 91. Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March The Bataan Peninsula fell in early April 1942. As a result, the Japanese captured about 76,000 Filipinos and Americans as prisoners of war.

They took the train to within 8 miles of an army camp, then walked the rest of the way.
  • 92. Island Hopping and the Bataan Death March This ordeal became known as the Bataan Death March. During the march, the POWs, both American and Filipino, were denied water and rest and many were beaten and tortured. At least 10,000 prisoners died during the journey. Many were executed by the guards when they became too weak to keep up. Many Filipinos risked- and sometimes lost- their lives to give food and water to the captives during the March.

When they asked for water, they were told to hurry up, because coffee was waiting for them in the camp and it was getting cold.”
  • 152. Auschwitz Gas Chamber “Once the chamber was full, the doors were screwed shut and pellets of Zyklon-B were dropped into the chambers, releasing toxic cyanide. Those inside died within 20 minutes, but it is estimated that about one-third of the victims died immediately.” According to a witness, “Shouting and screaming of the victims could be heard through the opening and it was clear that they fought for their lives.” When they were removed, the victims were found half-squatting, their skin colored pink with red and green spots, some foaming at the mouth or bleeding from the ears.
