Today we had a discussion day on 1930's topics.
japan had to find resources so they invaded mancharia.
league of nations didnt really do anything.. even though they did ask japan to leave, but japan laughed and dropped out of the league of nations.
one of the first ways that showed the league of nations were failing.
italy invades ethopiaa in 1936
they lost ethopia. then lost he war. so they didnt take them over. so it was embarrassing to italy.
italy/ethopia- eventually italy takes over
Spanish Civil war. against communist and Fransico Franco.
Hitler and Franco were war buddies. made their war level go up.
hitler thought of franco as an allie. hitler never invaded spain.
took attention from hitler and went to spain.
Rome-berlin Axis- hitler and mussuloni before allies.
Japan invades China- and japan takes over  a little bit of china
Japanese- they were horrible to everyone! it was disgusting! 
China has still not gotten an apology from Japanese.
Hitler took over Austria!
hitler was an Austrian born German.
this was his first agressive act.
great britian, germany, italy and france were all at the Munich Conference.
czechslovakia did not attend. Appeasement was chosen.
 appease means to please them.
gave into hitler to make him happy so no one had to go to war or fight
Churchill wanted to fight and step up to hitler and stop all this! then this made people not like churchill because he wanted to fight and stop hitler. but nobody wanted to fight.
next thing they gotta do is go to war with hitler (invasion on poland) because they were pushing GB,itlay and france into a corner where they had to start fighting!
Soviet-german non-agression pact. this is not an allience. but itas an agreement not to fight eachother!
Blitzkrieg- lightening war.
