When Hitler comes to power, he treis to improve the state of his country because of the great depression. France demanded large sums of money from Germany for winning world war I. Hitler began to stop paying money and began to raise large armies in the no mans land near france which made france begin to freak out. Germany began to be the first country that was getting out of the depression. Berlin Olympics were held because of Germanay's wealth, the town was cleaned up and made as a sort of show case for the Nazi party. Hitler goes in and takes over part of Czecho-Slovakia. France soon became worried that Germany was taking over parts of other countries, and they begin to try and get the other countries to help them start telling the Germans to stop taking over the world.

After the agreement, Hitler went and took over Austria, France wanted to know why Hitler took over Austria, they wanted him too. Hitler didn't take over any more countries until they took over Poland, and that started World War II. Japan began to take over surrounded islands to get rubber. Japan bought all of their steel from America. When Japan began to start attacking our allies, we began to stop selling them our steel.

Japan starts the Pearl Harbor attack when America stops selling them steel, and America starts to go to World War II. America doesn't do much good, but they start the lend lease plan where we give them stuff and they let us have a base in our country.

D-day, aka Operation Overlord the attack on normandy that began to turn the tide of world war II. When we were fighting Japan, Japan won almost all of the battles, the turning point was the battle of Midway. The battle of Midway was won because of Intellegence. We hid the aircraft carriers behind the island and then launched a surprise attack on the japanese after they bombed the island. We attacked the ships when the airplanes began to refuel causing massive damage to the ships from the explosions of the planes and the gasoline. Began to Island hop and only attack everyother island when they would go back an island, we would skip that island and attack the next one.
