We are starting the class by reviewing what we learned about Japan yesterday. After WW2 we rebuilt japan to stop the stread of communism.
Britain had a Constutuinal Monarchy. They have a king or queen, but it was pretty much a democracy. Winston Churchhill was the Prime Minister. Chamberlin was the leader before Winston Churchhill. Winston Churchills power really went up when they knew they were going to have to go to war. Great Britain really lost its really high status after WW2 we moved to number one.
Charles de Gaulle was the leader of the free France underground. When Hitler took over the French government he let the Vichy people govern it. The leader of the vichy government was leader in the south. THere leader was Marshall Henri Petain. He listened to whatever Hitler said he was also the leader of the northern part of the France. The France was a defensive fighting country and they built the Magot line. France was apart of the allies power but the Vichy government was Axis power. The thing they did wrong was that the still wanted to be a world power.
China did gain some of the germany colonies but nothing too much. The leader of China was Chiang kai shrek didnt want communist. But, Mao Zedong wanted to rule the government and he was communist. Japan invades and china gets owned but they didnt give up.
