Chapter 30: A Second Global Conflict and the End of the European World Order AP World History

China vs. Japan In late 1920s, General Chiang Kai-shek was able to dominate over the regional warlords in China. The success of the Guomindang (Nationalist party) in China worried Japan. Japan seized Manchuria in 1931 and proclaimed to be the independent state of Manchukuo.

Military Interventions Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist (Nazi) party wanted to invade and destroy the Soviet Union to attack communist threat. Germany rearmed in 1935, militarized the Rhineland in 1936 and seized areas of Czechoslovakia. Hitler and Mussolini intervened to help Francisco Franco’s fascist government in the Spanish Civil War in the mid 1930’s. Only the Soviet Union provided military aid to Spain’s republican government.

German and Japanese Aggression World War II began on September 1st, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Isolationist countries like the USA, Great Britain and France were willing to sacrifice small states like Austria and Czechoslovakia to avoid war. Japan invaded China from Manchukuo in 1937 and sought to conquer all of China. Japan was successful at first, occupying most of the Chinese coastal cities.

The Coming of War in Europe and the Pacific In December 1937, Japanese forces took Nanking and killed between 200,000- 300,000 people in the Rape of Nanking. Stalin and Hitler signed a nonaggression pact in August 1939. After the pact, Germany invaded western Poland and the Soviet Union occupied eastern Poland. The British and French declared war on Germany on September 3rd, 1939.

A Second Global War Axis Powers- Germany, Italy, Japan Tripartite Pact signed September 1940 Allied Powers- Great Britain, France, Poland, United States Germany used the strategy of “blitzkrieg” war by rapidly penetrating enemy territory. France fell to Germany quickly, a result of divided and weak leadership. 1940 - Nazis occupy Norway and Denmark Great Britain was the only western democracy to survive Nazis, but are driven from the continent.

British Defenses Battle of Britain- Britain was able to withstand a Nazi air offensive. Germany decided to abandon plans to conquer the British Isles. The Nazis were able to control most of the continent and Mediterranean of Europe by the mid-1941, and were moving into Africa. Nazi forces drove the Soviets out of Finland, Poland and the Baltic states in 1941.

Germany and Russia Hitler’s biggest military goal: defeat Russia German advance was stalled on the outskirts of Moscow and Leningrad during the winter of 1941. Renewed German offensives were never able to take key cities in the USSR in the spring of 1942. In 1943, the USSR went on the offensive and drove out Germany. The USSR was able to drive Germany out and capture Poland by late 1944.

Main Theaters of World War II

In 1942, Nazi officials decided to initiate a “final solution” to the “Jewish problem” at the Wannsee Conference The more the war turned against Hitler, the more they pressed the genocidal campaign. Jewish people and other “undesirables” were shipped to camps. As many as 12 million people were murdered in the Holocaust, of which 6 million were Jews . Notable, among other things, for the degree to which is was premeditated, systematic, and carried out with precise and detailed records The Holocaust

The USA provided assistance to Great Britain, even before they entered the war. American tank divisions joined Great Britain in North Africa in 1942 and 1943 and helped to clear Germans from North Africa and the Middle East. Allied forces advanced into Italy and took over the fascist regime and Mussolini. General Dwight Eisenhower led forces into northern France; D-Day (Allied invasion of Normandy) on June 6, 1944. Despite Hitler’s last-ditch effort in the Battle of the Bulge, by early 1945, the Allies began invading Germany from the west and the USSR invaded from the east. Allied Offensives

Japanese Empire in WWII Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941; led directly to American entry in WWII Japan captured colonial territories of the British in Hong Kong, Malaya, Burma, Dutch East Indies, French Indochina, and the Philippines. Resistance fighters cooperated with British and American forces against the Japanese. Allied forces gained momentum after a win at Midway Island.

Fall of the Japanese Empire The Allies began bombing the Japanese islands in June 1944. The United States dropped two atomic bombs: one on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9th, 1945. Over 100,000 people were killed immediately and about 100,000 people died later from radiation poisoning. Japan surrendered on August 15th, 1945.

War’s End Leaders from the Axis and Allied Powers met on several occasions to build a more lasting peace. The United Nations was established at the Yalta Conference. The UN initiated international diplomacy and assistance beyond just the Western powers. The primary mission of the UN is provide a forum to settle international disputes.

Beginning of Cold War Tension between countries surfaced during the 1944 Tehran Conference. Germany was divided into four zones in the Yalta Conference in 1945. Final post-war settlements were reached in the Potsdam Conference in 1945. Independent nations created in 1918 were restored and most fell under Soviet domination.

Growing Power of US and USSR The devastation of World War II drained the resources of the European powers. WWII also enhanced the power and influence of the United States and the USSR. The Atlantic Charter of 1941 was an alliance agreement between the United States and Great Britain that was anti-colonial.

Winning Independence in South Asia The “Quit India Movement” was a massive civil disobedience movement that began in the summer of 1942 to end British control of India. There were demands for a separate Muslim state, led by the Muslim League and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The process of decolonization began between 1945 and 1947. Partition is agreed upon: power handed over to the leaders of the Congress party in India, and Pakistan was created with Jinnah as the first president in 1947.

Winning Independence in South Asia, cont. India and Pakistan saw vicious Hindu-Muslim, Muslim-Sikh rioting before, during and after partition. The area saw over 10 million refugees. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in January 1948. Burma (Myanmar) and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) also gained independence, but peacefully.

Liberation of British Gold Coast Non-settler Africa was affected by WWII by forced labor, confiscation of crops and resources, and inflation. Industrialization was seen in Africa as they were called upon to supply wartime needs for Europe. Kwame Nkrumah and led the decolonization process of the British Gold Coast to establish the nation of Ghana. He established the Convention Peoples Party and organized mass rallies, boycotts, and strikes. Great Britain recognized Nkrumah as the prime minister of independent Ghana in 1957.

French and Belgian African colonies Between 1956 and 1960, the French colonies (Senegal, Ivory Coast, etc.) moved in stages toward nationhood. By 1960, all of France’s west African colonies had independence. Belgium gave up their colony of the Congo in 1960, although there was no real nationalist movement for independence.

The Struggle for Settler Colonies Settler colonies (Algeria, Kenya, South Africa) saw more resistance to decolonization because European settlers were reluctant to turn political control over to the African majority. Many African leaders turned to violent, revolutionary struggles to win their independence In Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta and his nationalist party, the Kenya African Union, formed the Land Freedom Army in the 1950’s and used terror and guerilla warfare against the British. Kenya received independence in 1963 and was one of the most stable and prosperous new African states.

Persistence of White Supremacy in South Africa In South Africa, the Afrikaners (Dutch descendants) had no option to return to Europe. The Afrikaner National Party emerged as the majority party in an all-white South African legislature. Wanted to win complete independence from Britain, which came without violence in 1961 Racial segregation, called apartheid, was established in 1948 to keep political and economic dominance of the Afrikaners.

Arabs, Israelis, and the Palestinian Question The Holocaust provided support for the idea that the Jews should have their own homeland. Post-WWII, Zionists were determined to carve out a Jewish state in Palestine. In 1948, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish countries. The area of Palestine and Israel continues to be an international problem to this day.
