Waging Global War World War II

Key Questions 1.How did the American people and government respond to the international crises of the 1930’s? 2. What are the major phases of WWII?

I. Timeline: major phases of World War II

The Expansion of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in Europe

Liberation of Europe by the Allies

American Mood: No More War Concerned with rising fascism but determined not to be pulled into another war Viewed involvement in WWI as a mistake Congress passes the Neutrality Acts

Neutrality Acts 1935, 1936, 1937 If there’s a war, restrictions automatically take effect Americans could not: – sail on belligerent country’s ships, – sell weapons – lend money (regardless if aggressor or victim nations)

Hesitant Responses to the Fascist Challenge

Stage 1: Axis Victories A. Axis offensives in Europe The Gathering Storm 1939 Hitler seizes the remainder of Czechoslovakia Threatens to attack Poland Signs Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact – ensures Russian neutrality during German invasion of Poland in exchange for territory in Finland & Baltic states Americans grow alarmed, some push for more active American role – FDR agrees but not Congress

War Begins – Hitler’s Belligerency and US’s Neutrality September 1, Hitler invades Poland – WWII begins Britain and France in need of weapons US passes Neutrality Act 1939 – European democracies can buy weapons on a Cash & Carry basis – US is no longer truly neutral

Axis Victories continued France and Great Britain declare war on Germany but no combat until spring After victory Poland, Nazi Germany attacks Northern and Western Europe (April 1940) Blitzkrieg (lightning war) enables quick victories over Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium

The Fall of France June 1940, France falls to Hitler Armistice signed June 22 nd Demarcation line between Occupied France (north) and “Free” France (south under Vichy) England stands alone in Europe US begins building its military September 6, 1940 – 1 st Peace-time conscription law passed in the U.S.

Bolstering Britain with the Destroyer Deal (1940) “Fortress of America” or Help to Britain? Committee to Defend America – Favors aiding allies (Weapons, money, etc.) America First Committee – Against American involvement September 1940, Roosevelt gives UK ships from WWI in return for bases Most Americans favored any aid necessary, short of war Video: London Blitz & US Isolationism

Congress passes the Lend Lease Act What was it? – March, 1941 – Send supplies to victims of aggression – “Billions not bodies” – FDR: like lending a neighbor a garden hose Video: Lend lease, The Roosevelts Seen as an economic declaration of war Officially marked the end of neutrality – Germany begins sinking US ships

B. The War goes Global Conflict extends to the Mediterranean Axis powers attempt to cut off UK access to Suez Canal and oil supplies in Middle East to isolate India Axis push UK out of Egypt Germans take Yugoslavia & Greece in April 1941

Hitler’s Assault on the Soviet Union June 22, Operation Barbarossa

The Russian counterattack of December used troops trained and equipped to operate in the sub-zero conditions. German commanders were badly shaken, and Hitler assumed personal command of the army, ordering his men to hold on regardless of cost. Other Russian Tactics included: Destroying all resources (burning crops, etc) while retreating Dismantling and transporting factories East as retreated Trained Partisan groups prepared to enter fighting
