WHO TOOK PART IN THE WW II?

LESSON OBJECTIVES;

1. I understand the Axis camp that started and supported the war II.



1. The War became a global conflict after the German military, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland in 1939 because he wanted to take some of their land for Germany. 

2. World War II was fought between two major groups of nations. 

3. They became known as the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers. 

4. The major Axis Powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan.
First, on October 15, 1936 Germany and Italy signed a friendship treaty that formed the Rome-German Axis. It was after this treaty that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini used the term Axis to refer to their alliance.


Leaders of the Axis Powers

The three main member countries of the Axis Powers were ruled by dictators. They were:

• Germany: Adolf Hitler - Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and Fuhrer in 1934. He was a ruthless dictator who hated Jewish people. He wanted to purge Germany of all weak people. He also wanted to take control of all of Europe.
• Italy: Benito Mussolini - Mussolini was supreme dictator of Italy. He founded the concept of a fascist government where there is one leader and one party that has total power. He was an inspiration to Adolf Hitler.
• Japan: Emperor Hirohito - Hirohito reigned as Emperor of Japan from 1926 until 1989. He remained Emperor after the war. The first time his subjects heard his voice was when he announced Japan's surrender on the radio.

LESSON OBJECTIVES;

1. I understand the Allied camp that resisted the the war.

The Allied Powers

World War II was fought between two major groups of nations. They became known as the Axis and Allied Powers. The major Allied Powers were Britain, France, Russia, and the United States.

The Allies formed mostly as a defense against the attacks of the Axis Powers. The original members of the Allies included Great Britain, France and Poland. When Germany invaded Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany.

Russia becomes and Ally

At the start of World War II, Russia and Germany were friends. However, on 22 June 1941 Hitler, the leader of Germany, ordered a surprise attack on Russia. Russia then became an enemy of the Axis Powers and joined the Allies.

The US Joins the Allied Powers

The United States had hoped to remain neutral during World War II. However, the US was attacked by surprise at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. This attack united the country against the Axis Powers and turned the tide of World War II in the favor of the Allies.

THE WORLD WAR II ( WW II)

Dear students,

Welcome to one exciting History Topic World War 2 ( WW II)

Learning Objectives:

1. I will find out facts about Adolf Hitler.
2. I will explore how Adolf Hitler is connected to the World War II.





Who was Adolf Hitler?

• Occupation: Dictator of Germany
• Born: April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary
• Died: April 30 1945 in Berlin, Germany
• Best known for: Starting World War II and the Holocaust

Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany from 1933 to 1945. 

He was leader of the Nazi party and became a powerful dictator. 

Hitler started World War II by invading Poland and then invading many other European countries.

He is also known for wanting to exterminate the Jewish people in the Holocaust.

The Holocaust is one of the most terrible events in human history. 

It occurred during World War II when Hitler was leader of Germany. Six million Jewish people were murdered by the Nazis. 

This included as many as 1 million Jewish children. Millions of other people that Hitler didn't like were killed as well.

It is thought that the Nazis murdered as many as 17 million innocent people.

Why did Hitler and the Nazis kill Jews?

Hitler hated Jewish people and blamed them for Germany losing World War I. 
He considered Jewish people to be less than human.
Hitler also believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. He wanted to use Darwinism and breeding to create a race of perfect people.

Concentration Camps

All Jewish people were eventually to be brought to concentration camps. 
They were told they were relocating to a new and better place, but this was not the case. Concentration camps were like prison camps. 
People were forced to do hard labor. 
The weak were quickly killed or died of starvation. 
Some camps even had gas chambers. 
People would be led into the chambers in large groups only to be killed with poison gas. 
The concentration camps were horrible places.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. I will find out when the world ward II begun.
2. I will explore the reasons behind the world war II.

WHEN DID THE WORLD WAR II IT START?

•World War II started in 1939 when Germany invaded / attacked  Poland.

•Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany.

•The war in Europe ended with Germany's surrender on May 7, 1945.

• The war in the Pacific ended when Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945

WHAT CAUSED THE WAR?

In many ways, World War 2 was a direct result of the destruction left behind by World War 1

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I between Germany and the Allied Powers.

Because Germany had lost the war, the treaty was very harsh against Germany.

 Germany was forced to "accept the responsibility" of the war damages suffered by the Allies. 

The treaty required that Germany pay a huge sum of money called reparations.

The problem with the treaty is that it left the German economy in ruins. 

People were starving and the government was in chaos.

Japan was growing rapidly. However, as an island nation they did not have the land or the natural resources to sustain their growth.

Japan began to look to grow their empire in order to gain new resources. They invaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937.

The Germans were desperate for someone to turn around their economy and restore their national pride. Hitler offered them hope. In 1934, Hitler was proclaimed the "Fuhrer" (leader) and became dictator of Germany.
Hiltler wanted to take some land from Poland for Germany to use.

CONTINENT SUMMARY

Dear Students,
Welcome to our last lessons on continents.

Learning Objectives:

2. I cant locate oceans bordering each continent and place it to the right hemisphere.
3. I am an expert about the seven continents, some countries and five oceans.

WHAT LED TO THE FORMATION OF MANY CONTINENTS?

 The Earth once had one continent called Pangaea. which was a super-continent.

. Pangaea began to break up about 200 million years ago as a result of the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates and mantle convection.

. Pangaea started to break up into two smaller super-continents, called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
