War in Europe

HITLER IS ON THE MOVE Late in 1937, Hitler was anxious to start his assault on Europe Claimed that Germany needed “living space” Austria was the first target The majority of Austria’s 6 million people favored unification with Germany On March 12, 1938, German troops marched into Austria unopposed A day later, Germany announced its union with Austria

CZECHOSLOVAKIA NEXT Hitler then turned to Czechoslovakia About 3 million German-speaking people lived in the western border regions of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland Hitler built up troops on the border Sudetenland

HITLER MAKES A DEAL Then, just as an attack on Czechoslovakia seemed imminent, Hitler invited French leader Edouard Daladier and British leader Neville Chamberlain to meet with him in Munich (Italy was there too) In Munich he promised that the annexation of the Sudetenland would be has “last territorial demand” Chamberlain and Hitler at the Munich Conference, 1938

From left to right; British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Eduard Deladier, German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, Italian leader Benito Mussolini and Italian Foreign Minister Count Ciano at the Munich Conference, September 1938 Munich Conference, 1938

“PEACE IN OUR TIMES!!?” This agreement turned over the Sudetenland to Germany without a single shot fired Chamberlain returned to England and announced, “I have come back from Germany with peace and honor. I believe it is peace in our time.” Chamberlain and Daladier believed Hitler and signed the Munich Agreement in September of 1938

APPEASEMENT CRITICS Critics of Chamberlain included English politician and future Prime Minister Winston Churchill who said Europe had adopted a dangerous policy of appeasement – or giving up principles to pacify an aggressor “…had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.”

GERMAN OFFENSIVE BEGINS Despite the Munich Agreement, Hitler was not finished expanding the German Empire March, : German troops poured into what remained of Czechoslovakia At nightfall Hitler declared,“Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist” German troops invade Czechoslovakia in March of 1939

NEXT TARGET: POLAND Hitler next turned toward Germany’s eastern neighbor – Poland Many thought Hitler was bluffing because an attack on Poland surely would bring USSR, Britain and France into war As tensions rose over Poland, Stalin shocked everyone by signing a Non- Aggression Pact with Hitler Once bitter enemies now Communist Russia and Fascist Germany now vowed to never attack each other Partners: Hitler & Stalin

BLITZKRIEG IN POLAND As day broke on September 1, 1939, the German Luftwaffe (air force) roared over Poland raining bombs on airfields, military bases, railroads and cities German tanks raced across Polish countryside BRUTE FORCE: Germans marched through the streets of Polish towns and adorned buildings with swastikas

WORLD WAR II BEGINS After the Polish invasion, Britain and France declared war on Germany Too late to save Poland, the Allies focused on getting troops to the front in time to stop Germany’s Blitzkrieg strategy (Lightning War – fast moving tanks and powerful aircraft)

STALIN ATTACKS EASTERN POLAND While Hitler was blitzing western Poland, Stalin was attacking the east Stalin and Hitler had secretly agreed to divide Poland Later in 1939, Stalin attacked and defeated Finland while Hitler conquered Norway and Denmark

STALIN & HITLER ROLL After occupying Poland, Stalin annexed the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania Hitler, meanwhile successfully attacked the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg Time was running out on the Allies

FRANCE AND BRITAIN GO IT ALONE The Maginot Line (a series of trenches and fortifications built along the eastern France) proved ineffective as Hitler’s troops and tanks detoured through the “impassable” Ardennes wooded ravines in NE France

FRANCE FALLS Italy, allied with Germany, invaded France from the south as the Germans closed in on Paris from the north France surrendered in June of 1940 After France fell, a French General named Charles de Gaulle fled to England and set up a French government in exile

KEY Red - Nazi occupied and controlled Purple - Nazi controlled under Mussolini Blue - Free country, supported by the United States Green - Under the control of Josef Stalin of Russia who sided with the Nazis in 1939 Yellow - Neutral, but greatly influenced by Nazis, for example, Spain was under the dictatorship of General Franco who was controlled by Hitler EUROPE BRITAIN GOES IT ALONE

THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN In the summer of 1940 Germany launched an air attack on England The goal was to bomb England into submission Every night for two solid months, bombers pounded British targets: airfields, military bases and then cities

RAF FIGHTS BACK The Royal Air Force fought back bravely with the help of a new device called radar With radar, British pilots could spot German planes even in darkness The British Spitfire Plane was instrumental in downing 175 Nazi planes on September 15, 1940 Six weeks later, Hitler called off the attack on England A Spitfire dogs a German Domier Do-17 as it crosses the Tower of London
