Today, December 2nd, 1945
Today is exactly two months after what the world says to be the most destructive war in history. It has been calculated that about 60 million people have died due to the war. Because of this tremendous loss of life a lot of us around the world wonder "what really happened?"
The nation that really started it.. GERMANY
Germany was a ruthless nation that was angered by the treaty of versalies that caused Germany to lose land. The leader of Germany Aldof Hitler decided that he would promise German citizens that he would get back the countries former glory. Thus causing Hitler to break many of the laws of the treaty such as expanding the army and concurring other countries. A meeting within Europe was taken place with Hitler and the leaders of the league of nations to agree for Russia and Germany to share Poland. But, once Germany invades the rest of Poland and some of Russia Great Britain and France declare war on Germany.
The man who lead Germany
Aldof Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria and moved to Germany in 1892. Hitler said to be from the beginning a very strong nationalist toward Germany. When WWI started Hitler enlisted in the German army. After the Germans lost the war Hitler returned to Germany and became a member of the nationalist party of Germany named the Nazis. Hitler tempted to show that he was fully committed to the Nazis so he went on a rally protesting about Germanys unfair pay from the treaty of versalies and was arrested. After getting out of jail Hitler caught the attention of all Germans. He was voted to become the leader of Germany. Hitler fooled the Germans into thinking he would make Germany great again. He set many rules such as no Jews, or no homosexuals, and no mentally disabled. To get rid of what he thought of a set back Hitler created concentration camps to kill off the unwanted people. The war that changed everything is known as the battle of bultch witch is considered Hitler's last war. The Germans lost the war and started to decrease their power. In April Aldof decided to commit suicide along with his spouse Ava Braun.
The holocaust
The once infamous Nazis created camps around Germany and Poland that would illimanate the people that made German society look bad. Nazi's torture, poison, starve, and make these unfit people work until death. The entire world was blinded from this horrific truth until Russian and American soldiers came across these camps. It has been caculated that 6 million people who were Jewish, homosexual, physically unfit, mentally challenged, colored,and criminals were killed because of these camps. American alomg with European doctors and soldiers are continuing to find these camps and nurse these starving people back to health.
The nazis surrenduring
What is known as the battle of bultch is known to be the last war for Hitler. Our glorious country America finally defeated the known powerful Nation of Germany. After this the United States freed Italy from the dictator known as "Mussolini" and had him executed on April 28th. This event supposedly was a wake up call to Hitler that the Nazis along with Germany have been defeated. Hitler and his spouse Ava Braun decide to commit suicide on April 30th. Leading to the surrenderment of Germany on May 7th.
Leader of Japan
Tojo was born in 1884 in Tokyo, Japan. He was made commander of 1st infantry regiment in 1926. In 1937 he was named chief of the Kwantung army. In 1938, Tojo returned to Tokyo and was named vice-minster of war and then in 1941 named as prime minister of Japan. He was known as a "new order in Asia". Tojo led the Japanese army to the idea of the attack on pearl harbor. After America bombed Hiroshima the Japanese surrendered leading to the attempted suicide of Tojo. He is currently now being treated within a hospital in Japan.
Nation that started part II
The nation of Japan was known to be a ruthless and vicious nation. By this time in the war after Germany was already defeated, Japan had already concurred most of south west Asia. The United States did not get involved until a tragedy happened in Hawaii (described in next paragraph in depth) known as pearl harbor. Japans reasoning for attacking United States soil was to wipe out threat of pacific fleet and cut production of oil and iron. After this the United States joined the war again to defeat Japan.
Pearl Harbor
It is said to be a beautiful morning at pearl harbor the day of the attack. The united states navy was carrying about their day training and completing other classified tasks. When the men hear the sounds of airplane engines and run for cover. The nation of Japan had lead a fleet of planes with bombs that were dropped on pearl harbor. Thus, destroying ships, airplanes, and submarines. About 1,177 people were killed because of this attack. After this event the US president Franklin Roosevelt decided to declare war on Japan.
The end we know
After going to war on Japan on December 8, 1941 the United States fought in war with Japan to try and get Japan to surrender. After the US have won the battle called in the pacific our country realized we could defeat Japan. The Japanese refused to surrender causing the United States to take extreme measures. Albert Einstein created the Manhattan project to create nuclear weapons to try to force Japan to surrender. On August 6 a bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima causing extensive damage and deaths. After this Japan finally surrendered.
