Germany Invades USSR
- Final Plan for Operation Barbarossa. (Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad.)
- Hitler thought that if they got these 3 big cities he would get USSR.
Battle of Stalingrad- worst war (most casualties)
Leningrad- it was terrible here. The bombarded this city and no one had food. People started committing suicide and cannibalism.
Lebensraum (living space)(his plan for partly why he attacked USSR) Blonde haired blue eyed women were taken to “breeding” camps. Hitler wanted to expand the Aryan race. He was going to attack the Soviet Union to get land for the people to live as they expanded.
Japan Invades French Indochina- The U.S. stopped trade with Japan
Option 1- Withdraw, go back to Japan.
Option 2- Attack, we are going to force the US to trade. (they went with this option and bombed Pearl Harbor)
Option 3- Compromise, with the US.
