VII. Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact
Russia gave raw materials to germany in exchange for money and weapons, the both agreed to stay neutral if the other entered the war, secretly agreed to invade and split Poland, germany would get the western hald and ussr the eastern half, Russia would get finland, Estonia, and Latvia and germany would get Lithuania.. the world was shocked and Poland was scared and hitler thought it would force great britain and france to back out of their promise to help Poland if it attacked. Hitler didn’t want to fight a two sided war anymore with Russia and Stalin didn’t want to worry about Hitler invading. It was a Pact that neither would fight one another so neither country had to worry about it. It was also a deal to trade and split up Poland. Russia was to give Germany some raw materials in exchange for guns.
-Japan and China- Japan had little resources so the military took over the government and they invaded Manchuria and then China because they had the resources and new markets for them to sell to.
-Germany and Poland- Germany
invaded Poland and overpowered their cavalry with their Blitzkrieg and with Russia
attacking on the other side
-Germany and France-
Germany used Blitzkrieg to go around the Maginot line through Belgium and overwhelm France in about a month. the german invasion of france.. they wanted to invade them up through belgium. they never got to paris.. trench warefare. the problem with germany in wwi was on one side they were fighting russia and on the other they were fighting france, both sides, causing them to split their troops up. in wwii they didnt have to worry about the soviet union because they had a non agression pact with them so hitler could focus all of his attention on france. wwi was started with the invasion of poland. the sitzkreig came about.. some war. in may of 1940 hitler decided to hit france.. he invadced them through neutral belgium. he did not want to go through the border of germany and france because the magionet line was there.. some barrier with all these built in machine guns and all of that fun gun stuff. within a month nazi germany had pushed all of the french and british forces into like this little pocket thing. hitler was able to take france so quickly because france thought that they were protected by the line and they were not ready to fight.. they were too focused on this defensive strategy. in wwi, germany was forced to surrender in a rail road car in france.. this rail road car was put in a museum.. hitler sent the rail road car to some place that is the exact place where germany had to surrender and made france do the same.
-Germany and Great Britain- Germany
bombed Great Britain throughout the war and Britain never surrendered and eventually wait out the war. Germany wasn’t going to invade until they had control of the air and they weakened the Navy. The Royal Airforce never lost air superiority so Germany
never invaded but they terrorized they people by bombing cities at night.
-Germany
and the Soviet Union-
