The Axis Advances
Nazi Germany invaded Poland from one side, while the Soviets came from the other. France and
Britain had no time to help. Then Germany attacked France from the north, and Italy invaded
from the south. When France fell, only Britain stood against the Axis powers. A Nazi bombing
campaign against London and other cities only strengthened British resolve. Meanwhile, Axis
armies also pushed into North Africa and the Balkans.

startled to hear from him in this way?

3.How did DeGaulle seek to convince his fellow countrymen to follow
him? What persuasive techniques did he use here? Examine his use
of language.

Germany Invades the Soviet Union
Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 in the hopes of gaining its natural resources and
putting down communism. Hitler’s advance was stalled by the brutal Russian winter, but
Russians in Leningrad suffered a two-and-a-half-year siege that caused mass starvation.

Life Under Japanese and Nazi Occupation
The people who lived in lands occupied by the Nazis and the Japanese were often offered brutal
treatment. Hitler’s forces sent Polish and Soviet Slavs to work as slave laborers and the Jewish
people got the same and worse in Nazi “death camps.” The Japanese killed and tortured Asians
whom they claimed to help free from Western colonial rule.

Japan Attacks the United States
When the U.S. banned the sale of war materials to Japan after its invasion of French Indochina,
Japan and the U.S. participated in fruitless talks. Japanese General Tojo ordered an attack on
the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This led to a declaration of war by the U.S.

All-Out War
The U.S. and Great Britain directed economic resources into the war effort and limited the rights of
citizens and freedom of the press. Japanese Americans and German refugees in Britain suffered for
their heritage. Women filled many war industry jobs as men joined the military.

The Allies Forge Ahead
In 1942 and 1943, the Allies won victories in the Pacific, North Africa, Italy, the Soviet Union, and
France. Both Japan and Nazi Germany were put on the defensive as the U.S. pushed across North
Africa and into Italy and also island-hopped across the Pacific and Soviet troops began advancing
into Eastern Europe.

The Allies Push Toward Germany
The Allies invaded the coast of Normandy on June 6, 1944, and after a costly battle headed toward
Paris. The Germans retreated and France was soon free. An intensive bombing campaign crippled
Germany’s industries and devastated many of its cities. Because Churchill and Roosevelt needed
Stalin’s help to win the war, they agreed to many of his demands regarding the annexation and
determination of lands in Asia and Eastern Europe.
