Axis powers-Germany, Italy, and Japan
Allied powers-Great Britain, US, France, Soviet Union, and China, also Canada and Australia
The war was basically everyone vs. Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Sitz ends in the spring of 1940 they started invading Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg
Invasion of France- Germany was focusing on offensive and France was taken over because they were too focused on Defense. within a month France Surrenders to Germany. Miracle of Dunkirk. Vichy Government led by Marshal Petain worked with Hitler. Free French Underground led by Charles de Gaulle fled to GB and helped the allies.
Battle of Britain- was an Arial attack and Hitler planned for an invasion but kept getting pushed back and never happened.
Never was so much owed by so many to so few- Churchill. The Royal Air Force was able to destroy enough bombers that the Nazis' started to bomb at night and abandoned their goal of stopping the RAF and just bombed for fear.
