World war 2 question?

The Polish September Campaign or the "Polish-German War of 1939" (also known in Poland as the "1939 Defensive War" (Wojna obronna 1939 roku), in Germany as the "Poland Campaign" (Polenfeldzug), and codenamed Fall Weiss ("Case White") by the German General Staff), was the World War II invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and a small German-allied Slovak contingent. The invasion of Poland marked the start of World War II in Europe as Poland's western allies, the United Kingdom and France, declared war on Germany on September 3. The campaign began on September 1, 1939, one week after the signing of the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and ended on October 6, 1939, with Germany and the Soviet Union occupying the entirety of Poland.\n\nFollowing a spurious, German-staged "Polish attack" on 1 September 1939, German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west. Spread thin defending their long borders, the Polish armies were soon forced to withdraw east. After the mid-September Polish defeat in the Battle of the Bzura, the Germans gained an undisputed advantage. Polish forces then began a withdrawal south-east, following a plan that called for a long defence in the Romanian bridgehead area where Polish forces were to await an expected Western Allies counterattack and relief[3].\n\nOn September 17, 1939, the Soviet Red Army invaded the eastern regions of Poland in cooperation with Germany. The Soviets were carrying out their part of the secret appendix of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which divided Eastern Europe into Nazi and Soviet spheres of influence. This invasion secured Hitler's right flank and allowed him to concentrate on attacking Poland. Because of this unexpected Soviet aggression, the Polish government decided that the defence of the Romanian bridgehead was no longer feasible and ordered the evacuation of all troops to neutral Romania. By 1 October, Germany and the Soviet Union had completely overrun Poland. The Polish government (which never surrendered) evacuated together with many of its remaining land and air forces to neighboring Romania and Hungary. Many of the exiles subsequently joined the recreated Polish Army in allied France, French-mandated Syria and the United Kingdom.\n\nIn the aftermath of the September Campaign, occupied Poland managed to create a powerful resistance movement and contributed significant military forces to the Allies for the duration of World War II. Germany captured the Soviet-occupied areas when it invaded the Soviet Union (June 22, 1941), and surrendered them back to the oncoming Red Army in 1944. Between them the German and Soviet occupations were responsible for the death of over 20% of Poland's total population and the effective end of the Second Polish Republic.

Basically World World II was like a continuation of World World I. Essentially this is what happened. World War I starts (aka - The Great War pre WWII) and afterwards its like everyone took a break. I'm not joking either. It was like a pause for 20 years. In the early 1930's, Japan invaded China. China actually had the most amount of casualties, not Russia or Eastern Europe. \n\nMost countries blamed Germany and so Germany had many sanction and restrictions put on the country. Hitler played off of these emotions and blamed the Jewish population for all of Germany's problems. At this time, Hitler was also quickly moving up in the ranks and finally became Dictator. \n\nHitler then started annexing countries in the mid to left 1930's and every country began to appease him. After he took over Poland and much of France, it was too late. The non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia made Hitler essentially invulnerable because from Eastern Europe was essentially all his to take over minus Russia. (Hitler would later reneg on the non-agreesion pact)\n\nThe United States needed an excuse to get into WWII and they finally got one on June 6, 1941 - Pearl Harbor. \n\nAbout 6 million jews were killed and 6 million gypsies, homosexuals, etc were killed. \n\nIn China, about 20-25 million were killed.

It started because the mouth invaded the nose to take control of its valuable snot resources.\n\nOh, you mean world war 2? Sorry. Yeah, it started because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. And if anyone posts that answer in all seriousness, I may be forced to kill them in the most painful way possible.\n\nWorld War II started because Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, prompting Britain and France to declare war. However, some historians place the date as early as 1931 with the Manchurian Incident.\n\nSo, to answer your question, there were a number of events which precipitated the war after the war to end all wars. For a fuller history of the international conflicts of the 1930s/40s, see the wikipedia entry referenced below.\n\nETA: OMG, someone did. I despair for you.

World War II: The Impact at Home\n\nThe quick fall of France to the German army in 1940 shook the strong pacifist sentiment of the American public. Suddenly, Great Britain alone stood between Nazi Germany and the United States. Once the United States was fully committed to the war in December of 1941, patriotism soared in American society. Americans' willingness to carry out blackout and civil defense drills; to recycle metals, paper, and even cooking fats; to work longer hours, but to have fewer consumer goods to buy with their salaries demonstrated the nation's strong support for the war. There were political changes as well, as the country began to shift to the right. \n\nhttp://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture21.html\n\nWhat effects did WWII have on women in America?\n\nWomen began to do the jobs that the men used to do. They worked in factories, steel mills, and on fighter planes. A woman who worked in an industrial or manufacturing job was refered to as "Rosy the Riviter".\n\nWomen married earlier in life, had more children and relied much less on their husbands after the war. The divorce rate in the United States and Britain skyrocketed, compared to previous years. Women held higher paying jobs than in pre-war years, and this caused some conflict when men were discharged from the military and wanted their old jobs back, which were now held by women.\n\nWomen went into the workplace and never looked back. They took over factory jobs, drove trucks, flew military aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean to England, and numerous other jobs that had traditionaly been open only to men. Once the men returned from the war the women were more independant than ever and would never be content to sit at home again.\n\nWomen played the role of helping fabricate weapons and bombs and all the equipment the soldiers would need. Women never set foot on the battle field but they also were nurses and assistants and that helped alot since they needed medical treatments\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_effects_did_WWII_have_on_women_in_America

Question from around the woeld?

Essentially, WW2 was a result of this and other factors, including unrealistic expectations and unresolved conflicts from WW1. Millions were killed in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, Asia, China, the Pacific Island nations, the US troops fighting in those theaters of war, and involved virtually the entire world. The United States emerged as the leading powerhouse and the Soviet Union a major nemesis until its collapse in 1989-1990.

Japan invaded China in 1936 some say that was the start of World War Two.  The war in Europe started when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and France and England declared war on Germany.\n\nThe cause of the 2nd World War was the treaty that ended the first world war.

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.)

I am not going to answer that question for you because that seems like a homework question - but as I normally do I will give you websites so that you can read find out the answers for yourself (I am sure that is what your teacher would want you to do - answer this question yourself - plus you wont learn the answer well if I just tell you it).\n\nFor WWI go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_one#Causes\n\nFor WWII go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Two#Causes\n\nNeutrality Acts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_Acts\n\nGood Luck!!!

one of their allies had the atomic bomb and were prepared to use it. also, Germany was the main foe, being so close to taking over Europe, they had to worry about them first. military strategy throughout history warns about fighting a battle on 2 fronts. depletes your resourses and manpower. Germany was the main concern then take on Japan.

don't waste time defending this proposition. the fact is that all wars have survivors, even nuclear war. I'd suggest that your essay should chronicle progression of the mass murder that commenced in 1938 and continued through August 1945, with the extermination of 35 - 50 million (no one knows exact casualty totals) people during WW II. Billions survived this catastrophe, and billions will survive the next one.  Nonsense aphorisms such as the one your essay is to explore seem sensible, but in fact serve no purpose other than to distract rational persons from viewing their world in terms of its history and likely - even if dark - future. good luck!

C'mon... the Swiss were never neutral.  They have always picked a side.  In WWII they picked the Germans.  Just cuz they didn't pick up arms doesn't mean that they didn't pick sides.  Anyway... when was the last time the Swiss sucessfully prosecuted a war?  I think it was about the same time as France or New Guinnea.  In other news...

Was there a WW1? Did WW2 follow? Think about it
