Mr. Bruns went over his PowerPoint again and he also wanted us to know that the test was going to be graded harder which is ridiculous and I do not think that he should grade so hard. It has taken us almost one month to get through these WW II Presentations and he thinks we should have to go over one month’s work of blogs just for one test. Not fun to do ill tell you what.
PowerPoint:
Germany did mop up on France in June of 1940. France thought that they were protected by the Maginot Line and they were not ready for war. The Blitzkrieg warfare was basically the ultimate warfare ever created. Germany conquered France using this method of warfare. Hitler forced France to surrender in a train car like Germany had to after WW I. The Vichy Government was the French Government the Hitler allowed them to stay as long as they helped Hitler. The Free French Underground was the actual Government there was in exile in France because of Hitler invading them around the Maginot Line through Belgium. Hitler wanted to take over Great Britain because then he was able to have control of Europe. Hitler turned to night bombings because then wherever the bombs hit they hit and he could do nothing about it. Great Britain was only kept up by there own Royal Air Force. Hitler was never able to take over Great Britain because he never got control of the air. Great Britain was able to do as well as they did because of Ultra. Ultra was all about intercepting German code, so Great Britain had known what to prepare for when Germany was going to attack.
Stages for German Attacks:
1. Attack the British Royal Air Force
2. Intensify raids on the British Royal Air Force
3. Attack British cities.
They Neutrality Acts were designed to keep everyone happy. If the U.S. kept up the trading with countries at war, then they usually got involved in the war. If anyone wants to buy anything from the U.S. or Trade anything with the U.S., people had to use the Cash and Carry System. This kept U.S. ships safe. Herman Goering was the leader of the Germany Luftwaffe and then took over after Hitler committed suicide with a few days left in the war.
Bases for Destroyers Pact:
Great Britain gave 99 year leases on the following bases:
Antigua:
British Guiana
Jamaica
St. Lucia
Bermuda
Newfoundland
And a few more that I did not catch.
FDR was the only president to serve more than a two year term.
Death Camps were mostly located in Poland. And the most famous were Treblinka and Auschwitz. Most people did not know what was going on in the concentration camps, death camps, and extermination camps. As soon as people get off the trains, people are separated instantly. People who survived were completely ruined for the rest of their lives.
