WW2 Axis Powers

Hitler and Mussolini were able to gain political power because of political/economic problems.

After WW1 Germany had to pay reparations for starting the war. France invaded a big industrial center of Germany. German workers went on strike and the government gave them money but created more marks(German $) in circulation causing inflation. In 1914 4.2 German marks = $1 in 1923 4.2 trillion marks = $1

Unemployment was also high and at one point 40% of German workforce did not have a job. Many turned to radical groups like the Nazis.

In Italy inflation and unemplyoment played a role as well. There was a fear of Communism rising to power in Italy. Mussolini was able to create a police(OVRA) that was able to keep Italy from falling into Communism. and Hitler appealed to the peoples sense of pride through slick speeches . he made groups such as the Hitler youth and he promised changr

The bomb created a blast equivalent to about 13 kilotons of TNT. The radius of total destruction was about one mile, Fires resulting from the explosion spread out to an area of radius of about 4.4 miles Japanese officials determined that 69% of Hiroshima's buildings were destroyed and about 7% damaged. 20 US military captives were killed.

World War One was significant in a negative manner. It was the first world wide war that involved many nations and many battles. Loss of lives was immense. Some 5 billion people died. It was so brutal that it was called the "war to end all wars". It did give birth to the League of Nations, designed to prevent wars, but it was ineffective. The war brought into play new weapons, and trench warfare.

When talking about history the word 'Anschluss' (a German word for 'link, connection') refers to the invasion and annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938. The word 'annexation' is misleading, though correct in terms of international law. In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with delirious applause that made even the Nuremberg rallies seem tame. In Vienna there was an explosion of Jew-baiting and elderly Jews were forced to sweep the streets with tooth brushes while onlookers laughed and hooted with glee. Joncey

By spending most of their resources on the military and driving the country into bankruptcy.

Germany's invasion of Poland caused Britain and France to declare war on Germany; this led to the European war. The Pacific war had its origins when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and later when Japan invaded China in 1937. The 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour involved America in the war, which then became a true global war.

It's because of BENITO AMILCARE ANDREA MUSSOLINI who followed aggressive policy.His main slogan before the nations were "Italy must expand or perish".He joined with Hitler ROME-BERLIN-TOKYO axis's thus Italy entered ww2.This entry made Italy so weak and lost its possessions of overseas territories.

Much like Britain and France, the United States did not take action against Italian and German aggression. Americans, British, and French were all scarred from the Great War that had just taken place (WW1), so they thought that by responding to Italian and German aggression could potentially start a war. American's did not respond because they wanted to avoid war at all costs.

2) Hitler marched his troops into the Rhine, the Sudetenland, the rest of Czechoslovakia, and Austria over the protests of Britain, France, and the US. On Sept. 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, thereby starting WW2 in Europe. The Poles fought valiantly against Hitler's forces; when they took refuge behind the Vistula River, and it seemed they could hold on until the arrival of the British and French, Stalin entered the war and invaded Poland from the east. About 2 weeks later it was all over for the Poles.
Stalin also invaded Finland on the flimsy pretext of protecting his northern frontier. The Finns, although outnumbered and outgunned, held off the Soviets for several months.
Japan annexed Korea in 1910. The militarists of Japan also invaded Manchuria (China) in 1933, trying to create what they called the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." In their delirious minds, they thought that Asia would thrive if all of it was under their rule. The rest of Asia disagreed. Japanese brutality in Manchuria caused the US to enact a trade embargo against Japan. The Japanese used the embargo as an excuse for the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, thereby precipitating America's entry into WW2.

Benito Mussolini, after seizing power in October 1922, lived in Villa Torlonia in Rome, central Italy. He is also connected with the Palazzo di Venezia, from which he orchestrated his government and delivered many of his most famous speeches

As we would have never agreed with the Nazis and their fuhrer's fanatical beliefs and ideas. The atrocities they committed could never have been more evil. For they are undoubtedly impossible to beat.

First answer: The Eastern front and Western front. The Eastern front: Germans attacked in Moscow. Soviets counterattacked and forced Germans to retreat.

The Western front: Under General Eisenhower, the Allied forces took on Operation Overlord to invade the Nazi occupied parts of Europe. Operation Overlord was the start of D-Day.

Second Improved answer: There were actually three fronts when you include the Mediterranean/Italian Front. This front began in North Africa, then to Sicily & on to Italy. The Allies fought there way north up the boot of Italy into the southern Alps towards Austria & Germany.

According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.

about your question "how did countries respond to the invasion of Poland is:

GB and France declared war to Germany but there were no military actions on their part in the meantime, apart of some "skirmishes" on the North Sea and the Atlantic (navy actions of GB and Germany and the German invasion in Norway in April 1940). This declaration of war was called "phony war" until German's invasion of France in May 1940.

Answer to the first part of the question "during 1939 what happened to Poland as a result of the invasion".

In compliance with the Ribbentrop-Molotov Agreement, Poland was divided into to parts between Germany and Soviet Union. The territory occupied by the Soviets have never been recovered by Poland, who after the war received as compensation German territories westward. It's worth to point out that during the last days of fighting, Poland has been also invaded by Soviet Army which hit

the Polish Army from behind.

The USA, together with Britain, France and Russia formed the Allies. Their enemies were the Axis Powers, consisting of Germany (including Austria), Italy, and Japan.
