World war 2 By Daniel Carleton
A little introduction. After the first of the 2 world wars, Germany was treated very badly. Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in He was enraged because of the humiliation brought to Germany.
This means War! Hitler decided he wanted to take over Poland. Britain and France were not happy and declared war on Germany. So just like that the war began!
BLITZKRIEG Blitzkrieg means Lightning War. It is a German tactic. Planes would bomb the battlefield and tanks would finish off the job. It won battles at lightning speed!
Concentration camps In Germany, anybody who Hitler didn’t approve of was sent to a concentration camp. These were pretty much houses of death as millions died there, most of which were Jews. They closed after the war (thank goodness). Somebody save me!
The emergency Ireland and a handful of other countries were Neutral during the war. WW2 was known as the emergency in Ireland. It was called this because a state of emergency was declared when the war started.
Neville Chamberlain Neville Chamberlain was Prime minister of England when the war began, however, Winston Churchill took over soon afterwards.
The End of the 2nd World War On May 7 th 1945, Germany surrendered. However, it wasn’t until August 15 th that the war finished because Japan only surrendered then. Over all a massive 60 to 85 million people died in ww2!
