What were the main events from the invasion of Poland to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
The main events from Poland to Pearl Harbor, were many. If you reduce them down to the absolute minimum, you would have a list something like this The non aggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union Invasion of western Europe (Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, France) Invasion of Nowary The Battle of Britain, followed by the ongoing Battle of the Atlantic Operation Barbarosa Each of these events had a profound impact upon the course of the war. You could argue that the North Africa campaign or the invasion of the Balkans had an impact but not a profound impact. Missed opportunities would include the failure to take out Malta and the failure to complete the drive on Moscow in time to secure it. In addition, the failure of Army Group North to drive on Leningrad and take it after the initial phase of Barbarosa were underway.
