Presentation transcript:

On a sheet of paper… Judge whether you think countries such as Great Britain and France should have appeased or intervened in the aggressive actions Germany (for example) was taking. What actions did Hitler take? Should they have appeased Hitler’s actions, like they did? Or should they have stopped him? Why do you feel this way?

Axis Aggression:_ War Begins_

Lightning Attacks_ September 1, 1939 -Germany attacked Poland -new tactic: blitzkrieg -air attack to damage defenses -fast-moving tanks & mobile artillery attack -foot soldiers clear out the rest

Poland_ Polish air force = destroyed Polish soldiers = no match for Germans Polish landscape = no natural barriers to slow the blitzkrieg

Allied Response_ -Great Britain & France declare war on Germany Poland had support from Great Britain & France September 3, 1939 -Great Britain & France declare war on Germany Great Britain & France didn’t give much help to Poland

Allied Response_ collapse of Poland = fast little could be done to stop German invasion German troops move to western border German leaders made plans for invading What country is west of Germany? France

Attack on France_ spring, 1940 -Germans invaded Denmark & Norway (lightly defended) May 1940 = northern France -Germans go through Netherlands & Belgium -around Maginot Line

Attack on France_ May 1940 = northeast France -Germans attack Ardennes -dense forest region near French/ Belgian border (undefended) -Germans move northwest to coast

Dunkirk_ Dunkirk = coastal town (northwest France, near English Channel) German troops trapped hundreds of thousands of Allied troops Allied military & civilian ships saved over 300,000  retreated to Great Britain

France_ remaining Allied troops couldn’t stop Germans from taking Paris June 22, 1940 -France surrendered to Germany Germany occupied France area under control of French officials cooperating with Hitler = Vichy France
