World War 2 questions!!!?

1 - The Germans surrendered on the European front.  The Japanese surrendered after they were bombed.\n\n2 - Allies: Poland,\nBritish Commonwealth,\nFrance/Free France,\nSoviet Union,\nUnited States,\nChina,\nand others\n\nAxis:  Germany,\nItaly,\nJapan,\nand others\n\n3 - Blitzkrieg - (German, literally lightning war or flash war) is a popular name for an offensive operational-level military doctrine which employed mobile forces attacking with speed and surprise to prevent an enemy from implementing a coherent defense. The doctrines resulting in the blitzkrieg effect were developed in the years after World War I as a method to help prevent trench warfare and linear warfare.\n\n4 - Stalin -  December 18 [O.S. December 6] 1878[1] – March 5, 1953) was the leader of the Soviet Union from mid-1920s to his death in 1953 and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922-1953), a position which had later become that of party leader.\n\n5 - D-Day - By far, the most well known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day on which "Operation Overlord" began — commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after Operation Overlord.\n\nThe terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. There is but one D-day and one H-hour for all units participating in a given operation.\n\n\n6 - Winston Churchill

The answer to these few questions will help out:\n- When was the US Stock Market Crash?\n- What had Germany just admitted guilt to (think of a big treaty named after a big place and a big event in history that had just happened)?\n- What political party began to take hold in the German government?\n- Who did the Germans stereotype as being responsible for the economic depression?

Hitler used blitzkrieg, or lightening war.  He invaded so quickly and secretly that nobody had the time to resist.  He just rushed in and took Poland.  He tried following with attacking other countries, but some were not as easy.\n\nwww.wikipedia.org is a good place to look it up, but the site is down right now--technical difficulties (probably hacked).\n\nHere is a timeline that may help.  Start looking at 1939 and go up.\n\nhttp://history.acusd.edu/gen/WW2Timeline/start.html

(if she was)\n*What was the Blitz like?\n*What were your feelings towards the Axis powers?\n*What kind of shelter did you have, if any?\n\nIf she was in the US:\n*Did you hate/dislike the Japanese and Axis Powers?\n*Did you have any relatives lost in the Pearl Harbour attack?\n* (again) What was rationing like?\n*What were the air-raid tests like?\n*What was her father doing? Fighting or participating in the war effort?\n*Same question about her mother\n\nIf she was in the occupied territories:\nUnder the Japanese:\n*Were you (your grandmother) sent to a Prison camp?\n*What was life like?\n*What did it feel like to be released?\n*Were you attacked en-route home, by seperatists?\n\nIf she was under occupation by the Germans:\n*How did life change?\n*Were you kicked out of home?\n*Were you happy when the allies arrived?\n*Did you listen to the BBC?\n*If no, why?\n\n*If she was in Germany:\n*Did you belive what Hitler said?\n*Were you part of the Hitler Youth?\n\n\nHope this will help,

Hmm, think hard_then speak has an interesting one, although the answer is reasonably well known.\n\nFollowing the WWII I'd interview Werner Heisenberg in 1944 to see if he was really NOT trying to build an A-bomb for Nazi Germany, or if that is just what he said after the war. (And after he learned he was going about it in the wrong way.)

It's obvious that you are not a "historian" by any stretch of the imagination.  To be truthful with you, WW II started on 11/11/1918.  The treaty of Versailles was not inforced by the "League of Nations" as it should have been.  The "Great Depression" which began in 1929 devastated the world's economy.  With this having been said, Hitler was a very charasmetic person who played on the German people's fears and their anger.  \n\nGermany began by annexing Austria as well as other Germanic counties that were broken up due to the Treaty of Versailles.  His emphasis of German "nationalism" united the former empire, thus creating the "Third Reich".  Poland was annexed (by invasion) in September of 1939 and this was the "last straw" for England.  France was invaded  in 1940 and quickly fell.  \n\nThere was no one left to stand against Germany (Hitler) but England.  Hitler then began his "blitzkreig" against England. \n\nThe U.S. entered WW II on December 7, 1941 due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the destruction of our Pacific fleet.  \n\nI could go on and on but, I don't think that this forum could handle much more information.  May I suggest that you read some books on WW I as well as WW II and you will see for yourself the political events that lead up to the beginning of WW II.  And of course you will find out that most of Hitler's conquests were to gather the raw materials that would have enabled him to conquor the entire world.  \n\n"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".  This is why we (U.S.) must oppose tyrinical governments such as Iraq and the terrorism that he (and others like him) would like to inflict upon The United States of America.  Read, read and read some more.
