Is Hitler a tyrant leader?

Hitler was Germany's ruler and the main cause of World War II. Of course a lot of his crimes were illegal; and he did spend some time in jail. Though in the midst of his power, the Nazis because Poland's only police officers, therefore Hitler could not be charged with any illegalities.


After conquering Poland how many years did Hitler wait before attacking a new territory?

After finishing conquest of Poland in October 1939... nothing happened. For like, a really long time. There were some naval battles, and France briefly tried to invade part of Germany... but for the most part, not much happened. Even though France and England had promised to help Poland, they didn't, which greatly annoyed the Polish people. This period of general inactivity is nicknamed the "Phoney War" or "Sitzkrieg" ("sitting war").In April 1940, about six months after the invasion of Poland ended, Germany launched an invasion of Norway and Denmark. Germany wanted to seize Norway to prevent the Allies from using it as a base against them, plus it made it easier for Germany to buy metal (for tanks, boats and airplanes) from Sweden.About a month later, while the Norway-Denmark invasion was still on-going, Germany invaded Belgium, the Netherlands and France.


The spectacular allied invasion of France in June 1944 which opened the long-awaited second front against Hitler?

This is not exactly phrased as a question. The Normandy Invastion on June 6, 1944 was conducted by the Allies in a mission originally called Operation Overlord. It was renamed but this code name stuck and became popular. Hitler was thrilled when the allies arrived even though they did not come to Calais as he figured they would. It ended up being an invasion that defeated Hitler in the end.


How did hitlers invasion of Poland lead to a world war?

Germany had already taken over Czeckoslovakia and Austria. Hitler had managed, by a brilliant combination of threats and diplomacy, to achieve these without war. When he remained beligerant and it was clear that his apetite was not satiated Britain and France made it known that they would not permit futher German agression to go unchallenged. Specifically they pledged that in the event of a German attack on Poland, they would declare war. That was fine with Hitler, war was what he wanted. Thus, when Poland's turn came, France and Britain gave Germany 24 hours to cease its attack and withdraw. It didn't, so they declared war.Michael Montagne Directly after Munich Chamberlain sincerely beleived that Hitlers forceful take overs of Germanys surrounding countries would seize, by mid 1939 it was obvious that this was not going to happen. With England and France's promise to Poland they had to react... England gave Hitler till eleven on the morning of the 3rd of September 1939 to call his troops out of Poland, at 11 15 am Chamberlain adressed his country that this had not happened therefore England declared war on Germany. Because of Englands and Frances promise to Poland and to their countries (to ensure their safety from the dictatorships) that they must go to war... Other European countries than followed in surpport of either the allies or Germany.


What was Americas first attack in world war 2?

This depends on your point of view. Hitler attacked countries before the start of WW2 and attacked Poland even though he had been told by Britain and France they would go to war if this happened. From here during the 'phoney war' there were only minor scuffles until the invasion of Belgium and France.

What did Germany believe that made them want to fight?

Hitler tried a tactic which made the jewish people seem evil, corrupt and trying to take over Germany. For this reason, he was able to get a large amount of people on his side. Another factor was the invasion of Poland. Germany wanted to claim Poland for themselves and again try and purge the jewish community. This empowered the Germans to continue fighting. :/ That's my view though, not sure if it's 100% true.
