Battle of Britain
Similarities between Hitler’s war in Europe and Japan’s war in the Pacific
Why did Hitler invade the Soviet Union?German expansion by 1942
Battle of Stalingrad• Hitler reached Stalingrad by
August 1942 & occupied the city • Russians refused to surrender and
launched a counter-offensive surrounding Germans in a pincer movement
• A military maneuver where flanks of the opponent are attacked simultaneously by moving its outside forces to the enemy's flanks, in order to surround it.
Discussion: Who is to blame for war in the Pacific?
• Corresponds to historians arguments on page 129. Which do YOU agree with?
• Japan aimed to conquer Asia so they were already planning a war in the 1930s; negotiations were a façade – keep enemy off guard
• Japan was pursing a traditional imperialist policy and took too many risks/gambles and “stumbled into” war
• U.S. was more to blame for war in the Pacific – Japan was just trying to “liberate” Asia from Western domination. They were continually provoked and mistreated by the West. Fought a defensive war triggered by American embargos and restrictions.
Who is to blame?• Discuss: To what extent was the U.S. responsible for war in the
Pacific?• US suspicious of alliance between Great Britain and Japan…. Tries to
end it!• Did not want an Asian competitor in the region• Wanted to limit Japan’s gains under the Treaty of Versailles• US passed National Origin Act (stopped immigration from Japan)
even after Japan warned them not to• Increased aide to China
