We present our picture projects today.
WW1 was supposed to be the war to end all wars. THe 1920's were really about peace. Then the Great Depression happened and it was one of the causes of WW2.
Major Events of WW2:
Germany Invades Poland (1939):
- real start to the war
Holocaust
Pearl Harbor
- Japan bombed U.S and United States came out of our neutral state and became involved in the war
- The commanders on Pearl Harbor mistakened the Japan aircrafts for American aircrafts so they thought nothing of it when it came up on the radar
D-Day
Battle of Peleliu
- We attacked Japan to get control of their airfuels so that they had to stop suicide bombing us
Iwo Jima
- Significance is that we had to take that island in order to nuke Japan
Bombing of London
- Germans just constantly bombed london throughout the war; Hitler had plans to invade Great Britain but he was advised that they need to make sure the are superior in aircraft.
Germany surendered and Hitler commited suicide by shooting himself because he knew Germnay had failed and lost the war.
Dive Bombers: Airplanes that dropped bombs by diving down because it was more accurate to dive down and shorten the distance.
Many submurines were used. Like U-boats.
Crusader tanks- used a lot by Britain because they are easy to manuever and they are one of the cheapest to make.
Battle of Stalingrad: one of the bloodiest battles between Germnay and Soviet Union to win over the city of Stalingrad; the soviets won this one.
Nagasaki Bomb- one of the main reasons the Japanese surrendered
African Americans: they were still segregated during this war
Guard Duty= a time to relax if a battle wasn't going on for the soldiers, waiting for enemies.
