INVASION OF POLAND, FALL 1939
On 1st September, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Poland army were defeated within weeks of the invasion by the Germans because of more than 2,000 tanks and over 1,000 planes. After this massive attack, Warsaw surrendered to Germany on September 27, 1939 because they became weak and could not fight back. On October 1939, the Germans annexed the Polish territories which were West Prussia, Poznan, Upper Silesia, and the former Free City of Danzig along German 's eastern border. On June 1941, the Nazi Germany occupied the remaining part of Poland when it invaded the Soviet Union. Poland however remained under Germany’s occupation until January 1945.

But on 13th March, 1940 a negotiated peace was done between the Finland and the Soviets to ceased hostilities.
France - (crumbling of the Maginot line, occupation, Vichy government, fall of Indochina)
Germans invaded France on May 10th 1940 with tanks to break the main fronts of the Somme River and the fortified Maginot Line. During the attack the British encouraged France to resist the Germans at all costs. This made the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, to personally flew to Paris to encourage them. But the British government did denied French help for military assistance because it wanted to preserve the strength for Britain’s own defense for the future. This made France to be defeated by the Germans.On June 22th 1940, the French signed an armistice with the Germans and Hitler insisted that the agreement has to be done in the same way the Germany had to surrendered to France in 1918, which was at the end of World War I.
The Battle of Britain
On July 3rd, 1940 the Operation Catapult was put into action and this made the British naval force based in Gibraltar to be ordered to Mers-el-Kebir in Algeria. This was a place where the remaining French navy had fled. The British asked the French to join them in the fight against Germany but they refused and this made the British to destroy the French ships and killing
Invasion of Poland, Blitzkrieg - September, 1939 - Germany used series of "lightning campaigns" to conquer Poland. The invasion caused Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany.
For a total of four years, the great powers of Europe were at war, eventually once the war was ‘over’ a peace treaty was signed . On June 28th,1919- exactly five years after Archduke Ferdidnands' murder, Great Britain and France came together to make peace with Germany. The Treaty of Versailles sparked a flame in being one of the causes of World War II.
On June, 28 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. This treaty coupled with other factors, such as the Nazis rise to power in Germany, Europe’s policy of appeasement, and Germany’s invasion of Poland would lead to - and be direct causes of - World War II. In fact, when French military commander Marshal Foch heard of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, her observed with extreme accuracy - “This is not Peace. It is an Armistice for 20 years.” (Churchill, 7)
In 1919, Germany is forced to surrender in Versailles. In 1940 Germany invades France and forces them to sign over to Germany at Versailles
PEARL HARBOUR INTRODUCTION: As World War 1 came to an end and the war was nearly over, Germany suffered greatly and lost major industries and land. This humiliation gave rise to a great rising power led by it's dictators. The invasion of European lands by Hitler who was opposing the treaty invaded Poland in 1939. The Allies issued an ultimatum that Hitler remove his troops under the threat of war.
The Allies rallied an offensive for the liberation of France in late September 1915. This resulted in a stalemate between the powers, inflicting heavy casualties on the Allied and Central Powers. This fierce battling with no progression continued into late 1916, when the Germans became concerned at the amount of the allied forces on the western front and the invention of the tank - technology that Germany
Its 4:45am and the sound of gunfire fills the air as 1.5 million Germans flood the streets of Poland. Led by Adolf Hitler on September 1st, 1939, this marked the start of World War Two. Hitler claimed the invasion was a defensive strategy, but Britain and France were not convinced. A few days later, the two countries declared war on Germany and started a major conflict. As tensions continued to rise and more countries joined the fight, the United States prepared itself for war.
When discussing WWII and The Cold War from an American perspective, the focus is likely to be centered on the wartime efforts of the country while debating strengths and shortcomings within those efforts. However, while the physical and psychological wars waged on, America’s homefront saw a continuation of fighting in the form of social movements aimed at attaining equality for all Americans. Minorities like African Americans and Mexican immigrants continued to face discrimination and racism during WWII but were shaped in different ways by the war. The Cold War era in America is a very complex subject marked by heightened tensions, fear, and paranoia among citizens. Much in the same way that WWII shaped the plight of minorities and immigrants on the homefront, the Cold War era also effected what it meant to be an American by shaping the conformist social class. Reaction to this conformity would also be shaped by the Cold War era, and Americans would eventually become critical to these effects.
Battle of Britain, during World War II, the successful defense of Great Britain against unremitting and destructive air raids conducted by the German air force (Luftwaffe) from July through September 1940, after the fall of France.[1] If Germany had been successful then it would have been possible for Germany to invade Britain. This would help Britain sustain through and to the end of World War
Ninety-eight years ago, after the fighting of World War I subsided, the Treaty of Versailles (“the Treaty”) was signed at the Palace of Versailles in France by the Allied powers and Germany. The compromise of the Treaty is that it ended World War I. The conflict of the Treaty is that it fed the German’s hate for the Allied Powers and, in turn, was the cause of World War II. “In their hearts was a stern resolution that the fiasco of November 11, 1918, would not be repeated for all serious people in America, as in all nations, remembered that much hailed Versailles Treaty was sown the very seeds of World War II” (Library Of Congress. Manzanar free press, November 12, 1942. 1942. Newspaper. Retrieved from the Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/item/sn84025948/1942-11-12/ed-1/. )
WWII and the Cold War were two very important wars in the history of the world. They both had a important role in the development of the world. The Cold War impacted society and politics more so than WWII by aiding countries in hopes of making them join their regime, the use of propaganda techniques to portray the other superpower as weak, the fear of annihilation due to nuclear weapons, and the war between communism and democracy.
Germany did not have a numerically superior force on the western front, but bold strategy, careful planning and blitzkrieg tactics set the foundation for the French defeat. In June 1940 Hitler invaded Paris, eight days later the French surrendered. After the French surrender, Hitler attempted to end the war with Britain. Speaking to the Reichstag in June, he said, “I can see no reason why the war need go on.” But Hitler was already had his sights set on invading Russia. He now aimed to end the war in the west so he could concentrate on attacking communist Russia in the east. Hitler knew that invading Britain would be difficult, but still he informed his military to leaders to prepare for the operation, Operation Sea Lion, and proceeded in planning a landing operation against Britain.

When Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France finally had to do something as they had signed an alliance with Poland on 25 August 1939. This time they couldn't back down in the face of Nazi aggression. Had they done so, this would have signalled to the rest of the world that they could no longer be regarded as world powers. The invasion of Poland became inevitable as soon as the Germans and Russians signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact as they had agreed to carve up Poland between themselves.
Exact optimisation method is the optimisation method that can guarantee to find all optimal solutions. In principle, the optimality of generated solution can be proofed mathematically. Therefore, exact optimisation is also termed as mathematical optimisation. However, exact optimisation approach is impractical usually. The effort of solving an optimisation problem by exact optimisation grows polynomially with the problem size. For example, to solve a problem by brute force approach, the execution time increases exponentially respect to the dimensions of the problem.
