On this day we continued WWII presentations. Here are the questions and things I have answered in the two previous days:
The Treaty of Versailles: Ended WWI. Wasn't strict enough for Germany and is the blame for Hitler's rise to power.
Adolf Hitler: Leader of the German Nazi party. Invaded Poland in 1939, stirring up the events that would start WWII, especially with Britain and France declaring war on Germany.
American Involvement: We went into North Africa for resources, and went after the Desert Fox, taking 3 years before he surrendered. Was huge because of its populus resources.
London: London was bombed constantly by Germany, making many thousands of people run and hide and also duck for cover from them.
Pearl Harbor: Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Forced America into WWII against both Germany and Japan.
D-Day: American troops landed on Omaha Beach in France. This was to take France back from Germany, which was invaded after Poland and other surrounding countries.
Fall of Germany: Hitler tried to invade Russia as a last resort, but due to weather and the size of the country, Russia won big time.
Atomic Bombing: Little Boy and Fat Man were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands were killed both during and after the bombings. Japan surrendered immediately.
Hatred of Jews: Supposedly were the richer ones of the Great Depression. Hitler thought they were inferrier and some think that the crucifixtion of Jesus has something to do with it as well.
Axis: Germany, Japan, and Italy. Had almost all of Europe during WWII.
Allied: United States, Great Britain, France, etc.
Rosie the Riviter: Propeganda used to support women to have good jobs and to support the war support in America.
Homefront: Victory Gardens returned from WWI, car-pooling to save gasoline, keeping excess fats from foods to be used for explosives.
Battle of Britain: Aireal battle over London, where German planes came to bomb the area.
And here's the new stuff:
Battle of Midway: Naval battle U.S. vs. Japan. 4 Japan carriers were destroyed. First major victory for the United States, intercepting and decoding of their messages helped.
The Death of Hitler: Hitler shot himself when he was in Berlin.
