The Beginning Of WWII
Of August 1939 both Hitler and Stalin signed a Non Agression Pact which meant neither of them could attack each other. Then in September of 1939 Hitler decides to use a new military strategy to take over Poland which was called Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg was a fast and deadly plan, the plan was to hit the territory with as many airplanes, tanks, and troops all in one. But even before Hitler's Blitzkrieg idea Japan was taking over China in a brutal way. It was called the Nanking Massacre, this massacre consisted of the Japanese killing or brutally torturing the Chinese in different ways. |
Causes
Nuremberg Laws were what helped cause the Holocaust. They were a set of laws that prevented the Jews from many things such as marriage to a German and anyone who rebelled towards these laws would be sent to concentration camps. The Jewish Ghettos were certain parts of the city where it was a horrible living conditions but they were only temporary, while Hitler was designing the concentration camps which weren't any better. After, the death camps were made everything went downhill for the Jews. A total of up to six million of the Jewish people were dead. The population was slowing dwindling down. |
