Impact--devasted with the atomic bombs killing all of those people, cities, buildings...--was being bombed every day by conventional bombs so Japan was basically already demolished.
GREAT BRITAIN
-treaty of versailles impact-split up land in Germany; Great Britain got a few colonies in Africa and they got a billions of dollars from Germany to pay war appurations
-type of government-was a constitutional monarch (king/queen)..utlimately had a democracy--Nevel Chaberlain (not well loved in British history, gave into Hitler to do whatever for the war:: Chamberlain is replaced with Winston Churchill thought they shouldn't have done that-was elected prime minister right before WWII--goals:
*to beat Germany
*keep the land in Britain safe and keep his citizens from harm
*"we shall never surrender"
--Germany was bombing Great Britain every night.
*keep people focused and keep Great Britain together
--was a major alliance of ours (allie power)
--because of WWII, Great Britain's empire fell apart, many of the countries became independent....
FRANCE
-treaty of versailles impact--they got land back from Germany; France was glad that Germany wasn't allowed an airforce or submarines so that they couldn't attack them...They got colonies; they thought the treaty should've been a little harder on Germany; France gave Germany the money to pay war appuartion
-government--democracy
-leader throughout WWII-Charles De Gaulle(head of the Free French Underground) and Paul Renod(appointed Gual as minister of war
-when Hitler allowed southern part of France to be self-governed. it was led by Marshal Henri Petain with a Viche government (german nazis controlled the northern part of France)
-goals of leaders
*promote industrial growth--introduce french currency to control inflation
