the atlantic charter:
fdr/churchill
we set war goals before we were even in the war officially
goals-
no territorial gain
no territorial changes without the peoples support from those contries
self determination
free trade
destruction on the nazis and then setting up a peaceful gov't in germany- no peace until the nazis were gone
freedom of the seas
abandon the use of force, disarmament, and a strong league of nations
german invaion of USSR:
final plan for operation barbarossa
code name for the plan to invade the soviet union
3 cities that hitler wanted: leningrad, moscow, stalingrad
he believed if he captured those 3 cities the country would surrender
hitler never got moscow
massive casualties
hitler wanted to achieve lebensram
he applied blitzkrieg here
germany would no longer get resources so he wanted this victory as soon as possible
germans were not prepared to fight in the winter and that was what really changed the outcome of the war
a very long 3 year process for the soviets to push germany out of their country
the soviets were destroying everything in their paths
japan invades french indochina 1941:
after japan invaded french indochina we stop trading with them
they need oil from us
japan proposed that if we trade oil with them they will get out of french indochina
we said no. we wanted them out of china also
japanese leaders decide to attack on us
leaders: hideki tojo and emperor hirojito
admirlal yamamoto was the master mind behind the attack of pearl harbor
the point was so that we would trade oil with them
december 7, 1941- the day pearl harbor was attacked
we thought that pearl harbor would not be able to be hit
we also didn't think that japan could do it
japan thinks that they did outstanding
they awoke a sleeping giant
december 8, 2011 fdr signs the declaration of war
