This was called an appeasment policy between France and Germany.
Nevel Chamberlain goes back to Great Britian as a hero for apparently preventing another war.

A year or so later, when Hitler keeps going, war starts and people believe they should have listened, helps him get elected Prime Minister.
Soviet-German Non-aggression Pact- It was a pact between Stallin and Hitler signed one week before the invasion of Poland. It didn't make the two countries allies, but they agreed not to fight one another. They also agreed to trade unlimited with eachother.

They also agreed that they would secretly invade Poland from both sides and split up the land.

Free French Underground- Led by Charles Degall, was a government outside of France, that tried to work on freeing France.
Battle of Britian- Hitler decided to go after Great Britian in 1940, which proved hard for him because it's an island, and the coast if very rocky. The first thing he sent in was planes to bomb their airforce, the navy, transportation systems, and communication systems. Germans started to drop bombs randomly and terrorize the citizens so that they'd ask for peace. Churchill kept his country together by saying never give up.

German invasion of USSR- Hitler focused on capturing three main cities in the Soviet Union. They tried to starve one of the cities into submission, and never quite got to one. It was the biggest operation of the war by far. Massive casualties. When Germany tried to take over the country, germany no longer got any rescources from the Soviet Union. Stallingrod, Mascow, and Arbangrad were the countries they tried to take. Hitler needed it to be a fast take over. When winter hit, the germans weren't use to it, and counldn't get their supplies fast enough. That's when the Soviet Union started pushing back and taking over. It was three years. The nazis never got to Mascow.
Scorched Earth Policy- Stalin demanded this of the Soviet troops as they retreated. They distroyed bridges, crops, and other needed items to slow down the germans.
Japan invades French Indochina- Japan invades the bottom part of China (indochina) and the U.S. decides to stop trading oil with them. They wanted to make terms with us by withdrawing from french indochina, but we said they needed to with draw from China in general. They were not happy with us, and they decide to strike us by attacking Pearl Harbor. Their leaders: Hideki Tojo and Emperor Hirohito.
Admiral Yamamoto was the one who masterminded the whole attack, and decided to take out our entire Pacific fleet of ships. All they wanted was to trade oil. They sent in two waves of planes and tried to take down anything possible. Really they didn't accomplish much, our planes where in a different location.
We go to war.
