Presentation transcript:

Europe at War WW I was slow moving because of trench warfare WW II much different *Nazi invasion of Poland shocked Europe because of their speed and efficiency

Blitzkrieg “Lightning War” -panzers (tanks) and the Luftwaffe used to stun enemy

Poland’s Defeat Nazi’s defeat the Polish in a little over 4 weeks -territory is split between Nazis and Soviets WHY???

Hitler’s Next Move Denmark and Norway fall quickly to blitzkrieg

The First Power Falls Nazis invade the Netherlands, Belgium, and FRANCE France is defeated in 6 weeks

The Maginot Line was France’s only defense The Nazis went around the line and split the French and British armies

Trapped at Dunkirk British and French troops were stuck between the Nazis and the English Channel *the British Navy and private boats were able to save 338,000 troops from capture

Vichy France The Nazis split France into two sections, one they control and the other is under authoritarian dictatorship and is called Vichy

Britain in Trouble as U.S.A. Watches From Afar President FDR refuses to get involved and is committed to isolationism *actually forced to by Neutrality Acts and public opinion

FDR’s True Feelings He believes the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) are more aggressive because they know the U.S. won’t get involved

Battle of Britain Hitler wants to conduct an amphibious invasion -land and sea (army + navy) Luftwaffe begins bombing military bases, industries, and communications buildings

Hitler’s Huge Mistake While the Nazis targeted military buildings the British were severely weakened….but when they started focusing on civilians and major cities it gave the British time to rebuild their military
