WW2

(Keys clicking) (me saying “DEFEAT ADOLF”) YAY! I won the simulator! Oh hi guys, I am here to talk to you about World War 2. Let us get on to tape. Also, please show us some real picture, as I am the smartest big boi. World War 2 started only TWENTY YEARS after WW1 ended, when a humiliated Germany sought to boost its image and place the blame for its situation on the Jews and communists. The Germans resented the terms of the Treaty of Versailles from World War 1, so they stopped paying reparations and withdrew from the League of Nations. Extremist parties like the Nazis began to rise to power.
== Beginning ==
=== Hitler comes to power in Germany ===
Adolf Hitler joined the German Workers’ Party (now known as Nazis) in 1919 after fighting in World War 1. By 1921, he was in control of the party, which like I said was renamed the Nazi Party. In 1923, he led an armed uprising called the Beer Hall Putsch against the government in Munich(capital of Germany). Hitler’s earliest uprising wasn’t successful, and he was sentenced to a brief stay in prison, during which he wrote Mein Kamph, or My Struggle. This outlined the basic ideas of the anti-semitic(prejudiced against Jews), anticommunist movement Hitler would soon lead. His theory emphasized the “right” of so-called aryan (a non-Jewish Caucasian) nations to lebensraum(German for living space). 
Instead of an armed uprising, this time Hitler used politics, expanding the Nazi Party until it was the largest in the German parliament. Hitler promised the people a new Germany with nationalistic and militaristic pride. Germany faced high unemployment and economic difficulties and people needed hope from any source, and the Nazi Party quickly gained power. In 1933, Germany’s president, Paul von (many in Germany actually have van or von in middle) Hindenburg(as in the blimp), declared hitler chancellor and agreed tp the creation of a new government under his lead. Hindenburg signed the Enabling act of 1933, which granted Hitler the power to enact power without the parliament. The Nazis dissolved other political parties and became a totalitarian ruling party. Hitler was a good speaker and used propaganda to influence the German people. In 1934, Hitler named himself leader and took control. 
=== The third Reich ===
Under Hitler’s rule, the Nazi party aimed to dominate Europe by creating the Third Reich, the “Third great empire” (the first two being the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire of 1871-1918). The Nazis set up concentration camps for Jews, communists, homosexuals, Roma and a variety of ethnic groups that Nazis considered inferior, and people with mental and physical disabilities. They stripped Jews of their German citizenship under the Nuremberg laws of 1935. Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles with a military draft to expand Germany’s army. He made plans to create a new Air Force. In 1936. Hitler sent troops into the Rhineland, the are of Germany that was meant to be a neutral neighbor to France. France was ready to take up arms but wouldn’t without support from Great Britain, which took a policy of peace (appeasement) and refused to support the use of force against Germany. Britain believed that Even though Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles, it was not being unreasonable in occupying its own territory. But Hitler’s plans went far beyond simply occupying yer Rhineland. The road to WWII was well under way. 
=== The Axis ===
With their similar philosophies, some dictators formed alliances. In 1936, Hitler and Mussolini formed the Rome-Berlin axis, also known as the axis. The end of WW2, aka Japan Joined in 1940. Russia didn’t join the Axis, but Signed a Nonagression pact either Germany in which they agreed not to attack each other.
== WW2 Begins (SHOWDOWN!) ==
In 1938, Hitler declared the unification of Germany and Austria. Later that year he took over the Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia. A year later, on September 1, 1939, Hitler and his cronies invaded/attacked Poland. The USSR also attacked Poland—break. Poor Poland, no respect to it. Anyway, back to it. ...and then moved onto the Baltic Peninsula and Finland. Britain and France finally discovered Hitler as a threat/escaped bad boi and joined/declared/wanted revenge two days later. 
Germany had taken over Denmark and Norway by 1940. The Germans easily invaded Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Nederlands—ahem, Netherlands. 
Now, let us make a list of the cities Germany invaded. 
# Luxembourg 
# Nederland
# Poland 
# France 
# and Belgium so far 
Let us get back to the movie. 
They fought in North Africa and Italy (good stuff for the guys over lactose intolerant). Even France was overtaken, and Paris was captured by the Nazis. 
But a harsh winter changed everything, and by that the creator means RUSSIAN, or USSR. Ignoring the nonagression treaty they’d created with the soviets, the Germans ended Russian territory in 1941, only to be defeated by near-freezing temperatures during the Russian winter 2 years later. In the first major defeat for Germany, 91,000 surrendered at the battle of Stalingrad(1942-1943). Why? Well, the thing is, Russia is north. And North and south are cold. So, you got your point. 
=== Battle of Britain ===
In the summer of 1940,Hitler began his air attack on England and France. The Luftwaffe of Germany heavily bombed London and other parts of England. The England were good thanks to Winston Churchill. They refused surrender, and the RAF or Royal Air Force attacked until Germany retreated. The creator’s words: this is narnia.
=== Holocaust ===
The Holocaust happened when Nazi Germany was on a bowling strike. It killed 6 million Jews systematically and five million Roma. And use your skills, that is 11 million. So you can assure once seen in the eye, you are a six strings’ target. Anyone seen and forgiven had to be thrown to the regions where the abdominal Hitler conquered, then put to the concentration camps. There were six DEATH CAMPS in Poland; did I mention Poland was sad? Sorry! It got the “Friday 13th” situation! Anyway. The largest camp was Auschwitz. Some of those sent to Auschwitz went to labor camps, where they worked or starved to death.; others were used as subjects of ghastly medical Experiments. The rest were killed immediately in gas chambers. Note: not only that type go like that, but actually, now if you wanna be a military guy, you need to get through those. Good luck. Anyway, People who tried to HIDE Jews or help them escape to safe countries were also put to death if they were caught.
=== Pearl Harbor ===
The story is here. Also, the other cause is because China trade. Look at the WW2’s Bombs(we are not about atomic, please search “atom bomb”.) page.
=== The war is X’ed out in Europe for others ===
On June 6, 1944, aka D-Day, everyone who got kicked out sneaked in Normandy, France, in the largest amphibious landing in history. The Germans, who expected the Allies to land elsewhere, were slow to react, and D Day marked the start of and offensive movement by the Allies to defeat the Axis powers of Italy, Germany and Japan. France and other countries captured by the Germans were free, and then they declared revenge, and happily lived after—Germany lost and the allies won. Get it. The Allies continued into northern Germany to join forces with the Soviets. The soviets had advanced steadily by 1943, reoccupying Ukraine and continuing into Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. In January 1945, the Soviets reached Berlin.
Hiding in a bunker under the city of Berlin, Hitler wrote a final political testament (next was death), still trying to blame the Jews for World war 1 and 2. On April 30, the Allies killed adolf’s friend, Mussolini. Hitler was so scared he was vulnerable, so he committed suicide. On May 7, Germany surrendered and finally, May 8, V-E Day.
=== Nuremberg trials ===
Well the creator guesses Winston churchill may have killed and executed these, but in November 1945 and by that the creator means the whole month, in Nuremberg Germany, the trials began, trying Hitler’s bois for crimes against humanity. In the first round 22 Nazis were found guilty and ten were killed aka executed. Over a hundred more were found guilty. Nice job, Sherlock! A similar court was held in Tokyo, were Hideki Tojo and other Japanese leaders were convicted and executed. Why? Well, IDK because I guess about Pearl Harbor. 
=== Thought of Aftermath ===
At least forty million civilians are thought to have died during this time (some estimates are three times higher😱), plus at least seventeen million combatants estimated to have died in battle (again, new research puts this number MUCH higher), making it the deadliest military conflict in history. And nuclear weapons brought in a new era of threats and warfare.
== Will there be a WW3? ==
There are no chances of a WW3 happening now, but it is unlikely, not impossible. You can read this page for more info: Ghffuwg's Facts: Will There Be a WW3?.
