Hitler-Axis power
Wincent Churchill (Great Britain)-Allie power
Bonito..(Italy)-Axis power
FDR-Allie power
Hadeke Tojo (Japan)-Axis power
Joseph Stallen (Soviet Union)-Allie power--basically the only reason that we liked the Soviet Union was because they didn't like Germany either
*WWII had started from the Treaty of Versailles: (was the cause of everything to come leading up to WWII) it was the official treaty that ended WWI...Woodrow Wilson was the U.S. president at the time..Germany and the Soviet Union wanted to get land back when it was divided up helping the cause of WWII...Hitler thought that anyone who spoke the German language should live in Germany...
Treaty of Versailes: Germany lost--Alsace-Lorraine (given to France); Eupen and Malmedy (given to Belgium); Northern Schleswig (given to Denmark); Hultschin (given to Czechoslovakia); West Prussia, Posen, and Upper Silesia (given to Poland); The Saar, Danzig and Memel were put under the control of the League of Nations and the people of these regions would be allowed to vote to stay in German or not in a future referendum...
*Military Consequences: Germany's army was reduced to 100,000 men; the army was not allowed tanks
-Germany was not allowed and airforce
-Germany was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarines
-The west of the Rhineland and 50 kms east of the River Rhine was made into a demilitarized zone (DMZ). No German soldier or weapon was allowed into this zone. The Allies were to keep an army of occupation on the west bank of the Rhine for 15 years.
