History Of World War II |
It is the largest armed conflict known to mankind.
A deadly war involving tens of millions of fighters
worldwide.
Rundown of the significant occasions of the Second
World War.
By the end of World War
I, Germany and its allies were defeated and held hostage by the harsh
punishments imposed on them, with the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires
disbanded, while Germany had to pay what many considered a senseless debt.
Its colonies and other
territories were handed over to the conquerors, and in Poland, the sanctions
were also considered a humiliation by the German people.
The German economy is
weakened by over-indebtedness and suffers greatly.The national mints tried to
rectify this by printing paper money, which led to a decline in its currency
between 1914 and November 1923, with the number of markers growing by 1,000
billion.
The following year,
drastic measures were taken to halt inflation and stabilize and revitalize the
economy, but in 1929 the Wall Street crash in New York caused further economic
hardship in the 20th century.
Its impact is felt
around the world, Germany is also under pressure, which causes the unemployment
rate to plummet sharply, Germany sees a rise in nationalism in 1933 allowing
for a rise in the Nazi party with Adolf Hitler in his place despite strict
conditions imposed on Germany after WWI,
The new dictatorship is
resetting the country and restoring military service.The country has also
embarked on an aggressive foreign policy with the dream of uniting all
German-speaking people Italy, although it has won with the Allies, is
frustrated with the amount of territory it has acquired after WWI.
Since 1922, the country
has been ruled by the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. Italy begins colonial
policy by capturing Ethiopia and prepares for Albania's invasion of Spain,
launches a three-year civil war against the Republican government backed by the
USSR and the International Brigades, and a national camp led by Francisco
Franco, and aided by Italy and Germany.
Both countries have
taken advantage of the opportunity to test their armies and their close ties to
Asia; Japan continues its policy of expanding the country using the civil war
in China to invade new territories the Japanese army uses chemical and
biological weapons and kills many people, Germany now has enough power to
introduce expansion of its territory.
It began to reunite Austria with the support of a local Nazi party, in western Czechoslovakia it was invaded by the Slovak Republic becoming a satellite state of Germany while Hungary grew very close after the annexation of Lithuania, Germany signed with the USSR It then invaded Poland, provoking the United Kingdom and France to declare war, marking the beginning of World War II.
Although German troops
are centered on the East, Allied troops are not taking action on the West
instead, France and the United Kingdom are trying to cut a steel railway
through Norway and supply the German military industry.
Germany responds by
attacking Denmark and Norway in a few days, the country taking over Luxembourg,
the Netherlands and Belgium. Hitler's new military strategy is called the
Blitzkrieg, which surprises the opposition's defense with a rapid, most
powerful attack on a fixed base.
British troops
retreated against the German military, and the German army invaded Paris. The
French army was defeated and an armistice signed. Germany lives in the north
and west of France, leaving some of its territory and colonies under the
control of the new government.
Germany thus indirectly
controlled French colonies without sending troops there. However, parts of the
French and Belgian Congo colonies prefer to stay in the Allies camp. In London,
which has already held many governments in exile, General Charles de Gaulle
founded Free France and continued to fight against Nazi Germany.
Brazzaville is named
after its capital city. According to agreements signed with Germany, The Soviet
Union occupies the Baltic states and part of Romania. Germany, Italy and Japan
came together to form Axis Powers. All British states and colonies, with the
exception of Ireland, went to war. In Africa, war breaks out between Italian
colonies and Allied forces.
While we were in
Europe, despite the bombing of British cities, Germany failed to take control
of the country. Hitler then changed his plans: he now wanted to invade the
USSR. But the plan was delayed by Italy failing to invade Greece and being
forced to retreat by Allied forces. After Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria
occupied Axis forces, German troops headed south to invade Yugoslavia and
Greece.
Germany was not saved
from the Nazi war, with some failed attempts to assassinate Hitler…. On June
22, Axis forces began - in part - the largest military operation in history to
invade the USSR, now de facto the military base of Allied troops.
A large number of
German soldiers, well-armed and motorized, rushed east. To support the Soviets,
the Allies settled in Iran and opened a supply route through the Caucasus.
German troops arrived in Leningrad and began besieging the city for 872 days,
killing more than one million people. Continuing south, German troops were
stationed at the gates of Moscow, where they suffered the harsh and deadly
winters.
After the previous
wars, the SS assassinated the Slavic and Jewish peoples. In Asia, Japan adopts
French Indochina. Contrary to its expansion policy, the United States imposes
on it oil and iron. In response, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the
United States at Pearl Harbor.
A massive air bomb
blast damaged a large portion of the U.S. warships. The United States is
entering the war on the Allied side. Initially, they concentrated their forces
in front of the Pacific. The country also supplies goods to the USSR, which
continues to oppose German development. Japan, on the other hand, conquers new
territories in the Pacific.
In addition to the
genocide, Japan is sending ten million Chinese nationals to labor camps. In
Indonesia, millions of prisoners face a similar situation on the island of
Java. In Burma and Thailand, Allied prisoners are tired of building a railway
line.
In addition, hundreds
of thousands of women were forced into prostitution by the Japanese military.
In Europe, concentration camps were set up to kill, among others, Jews,
dissidents, political dissidents, gypsies, homosexuals, and people with
disabilities. Fearing a second European invasion, Hitler built the Atlantic
Wall, a series of military installations to protect the coast from invasion.
But the Allies first
arrived in Morocco and Algeria. Italy's Libya finds itself trapped between the
two sides. After failing to control its colonies, Vichy France is attacked.
In the East, Axis
forces were trying to cut off access to the Caucasus. But for the first time,
the German invasion brought with it significant military relief. The Soviets
took action and attacked. Africa is now completely controlled by the Allies
planning to reach Sicily. The new Italian government is calling for an arms
attack, which prompted the Germans to attack.
The USSR is moving
rapidly westward, forcing the German army to focus on that earlier. On June 6,
1944, the Partners showed up in Normandy. Their military quickly overwhelm and
free Paris. In the West, as in the East, countries are liberated or change
camps. Seeing the victory, the Allied forces announced the formation of the
League of Nations. Countries that have declared war on Germany and Japan will
be welcomed at their inaugural conference. This causes an outbreak of war
declarations but without much effect.
On April 30, Hitler
committed suicide in his small apartment before the arrival of the Soviets.
Eight days later, the country surrenders. The United States and the USSR joined
forces to defeat the Japanese Empire. The Soviets launched a military offensive
in Manchuria while the US dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
On August 15, Japan
gave up, denoting the finish of The Second Great War. After six years of war,
the population survived by at least 60 million deaths, mostly civilians. Many
cities were completely destroyed. Europe and the USSR recruited millions of
German prisoners of war from their labor camps, many of whom were to die.
Germany and Austria were recorded among the winners.
A former European power
guard left exhausted and devastated by the war. The United States and the USSR
emerged as the remaining major world powers. Apart from the role of the UN,
which aims to maintain international peace and security, both sides will
eventually hold indirect conflicts around the world.
