We worked on projects again and more people took tests.
invasion of Poland- Germany invaded poland which started a campaign called "Blitzkrieg" There were many Nazi supporters among the Polish people and they tried to kind of join into the Nazi hierarchy, but they were still considered slightly less than perfect/human by nazis because they aren't part of the "master race"
pearl harbor- this was the Japanese's way of declaring war. all throughout WW2 the Japanese attacked first and declared war afterwards; this was considered "dirty" or "underhanded" by most countries. The Japanese sent wave after wave of bomber planes to attack pearl harbor: the US's biggest naval base where the entire American fleet was docked. over half of the fleet was sunk or damaged heavily. US propaganda used this as a spark to make the American people feel patriotic/angry about the war.
battle of midway-the most important naval battle of WWII. Japanese planned to lure the US fleet into a trap and eliminate them, but US codebreakers were able to figure out the date and location of the attacked enabling the US fleet to set up their own ambush
battle of Coral Sea-first battle between multiple aircraft carriers. The Lexington was heavily damaged but managed to destroy the JApanese carrier and sail away.
