The Munich Agreement

Shortly after, Britain as well as France declared war on Germany on September of 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. Even though the terms of the Treaty were for Hitler to downsize his military, Hitler was privately building up Germany's army and also made alliances with more countries. In 1933 Germany and Japan withdrew from the League of Nations and 3 years after Italy withdrew as well. The League of Nations would not be able to stop the Germans, Italians, and Japanese from extending their power throughout Europe and taking over smaller

Munich Conference-1938 - Hitler wanted to annex the Sudetenland, a portion of Czechoslovakia whose inhabitants were mostly German-speaking. On Sept. 29, Germany, Italy, France, and Great Britain signed the Munich Pact, which gave Germany the Sudetenland. British Prime Minister Chamberlain justified the pact with the belief that appeasing Germany would prevent war.

The Munich Agreement, signed by the leaders of Germany, France, Great Britain, and Italy, agreed to let Germany take the Sudetenland, and that no further territorial claims shall be made; this is how they appeased Hitler. Document 8 states that we were never prepared to fight until the very last moment. He broke the rules of the agreement by invading the rest of Czechoslovakia, and nobody was ready for war. An excerpt from Duff Cooper, a member of Parliament, includes, “We were always told that on no account must we irritate Herr Hitler.” If the Allied countries or other nations had put a stop to Hitler at the beginning of his reign, he would not have risen to power, and the war, most likely, would not have

Hitler realized that the French and British Leaders were scared of his power and also of war. Hitler needed more living space for the German people and he thought of taking over Poland. Hitler began planning the invasion of Poland. After World War I, Poland's army was relatively weak and ill-equipped compared to Germany. To aid in its defense, Poland had formed military alliances with Great Britain and France. Massing their armies along the Polish border, the Germans staged a fake Polish attack on August 31, 1939. Using this as a pretext for war, German forces flooded across the border the next day. On September 3, Great Britain and France issued a warning to Germany to end the fighting. When no reply was received, both nations declared war. Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland before World War 2 but then from 1939 and June 1941 the German army invaded and occupied many countries like Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg,France, Denmark,Yugoslavia, Greece, Norway and Western Poland. In Source C (The cartoon from October 1938 by Low) shows a picture of Hitler as Santa popping every European country into his sack which means Germany over all and also Hitler realized that nobody could stop

Germany needed living space so the only way to acquire it was for Hitler to take land from the various European countries that were in close proximity to Germany. In 1939, Germany would take all Czechoslovakia and then would begin to set its sights on Poland. After the Soviet Union had been neutralized Hitler proceeded ahead with his invasion of Poland on September 1st 1939, then two days later England and France declared war on Germany. In 1940 the German war machine was well on its way in terms of conquering land so multiple countries fell to Nazi power including France. Then the Battle of Britain began and the US provided wartime supplies to England.

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.

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.

1939 – World War II began when Germany refused to abort their invasion of Poland, forcing France and Britain to start war with Hitler’s Nazi.

In August 1939, Hitler and Joseph Stalin signed the Germany Soviet Nonaggression Pact. The Nonaggression pact meant that Hitler would get assistance from the soviets if he invaded Poland. If Hitler was to invade Poland, Great

Once the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor; the United States had no choice but to go to war. Some causes and consequences of the World War II were; Hitler reassembled the German military, and turned his focus on other countries. Hitler demanded and forces Austria to become a part of his empire. In 1939, Hitler had signed a non-aggression pact along with the Soviet Union. On September 1, 1939 Hitler invaded Poland; then a few days later; France and Britain proclaim war on Germany this is how World War II had begin. A few days after WWII begins as France and Britain declare war on Germany. The Soviet Union and Hitler started jointly conquering countries in Europe. However, Hitler planned to attack Britain, and later did just that. The primary Allied powers of World War II consist of Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and China. The Allied powers had all settled that Germany

Hitler knew that if he wanted to end Germany’s suffering he needed help to restore their economy, “He allied Germany with Mussolini and Italy. Then Hitler looked to restore Germany to power by expanding his empire.” After joining allies with Mussolini and Italy he began to obtain power. In 1938 Hitler took over Austria and he became highly powerful when the league of nation did nothing to stop Hitler from taking over Austria. As he became bolder he took over Czechoslovakia and a year later, after he invaded Austria. In 1939 Hitler invading Poland, “ September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, which led Britain and France to declare war on Hitler’s Nazi state in retaliation.” Once Hitler had invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany creating the start of World War II.

When he assumed dictatorial powers, Hitler undermined the postwar international order and rebuilt the German armed forces beyond what was permitted by the Treaty of Versailles. Fueled by vengeance, he intimidated and eventually invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Six years of Germany aggression and now the invasion of Poland triggered the Allies to declare war on Germany, marking the start of World War

Recently on August 23, we the Soviet Union and Germany agreed to be neutral toward each other by signing the Nonaggression Pact in Moscow. The pact was made between Adolf Hitler, the German Chancellor, and our beloved Josef Stalin.

World War II officially began on September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. With the leading of Hitler and the Nazi party, troops of more than 2,000 German tanks and 1,000 planes were sent into Poland from the North, while Silesia and Slovakia came in from the South with Prussia in the East to take down Polish defences. Two days later, on September 3, both Britain and France had declared war on Germany. The Soviet Union invaded Eastern Poland September 17, and by September 27, Poland had surrendered. This was

The main premises of the pact were that Germany and the Soviet Union would not attack each and that they would not support or join any alliances or treaties with nations to indirectly attack each other. Additionally, the nations agreed to work together on issues concerning on another and to negotiate all issues between one another. The treaty was signed to last for ten years. However, the most prominent part of this pact was that eastern europe would be split between the two nations so as not to cause conflict. With this part of the pact, the Soviet Union was given the Baltics as part of their “sphere of influence” and thus they assumed it was there to take. When the Baltics were annexed by the Soviet Union and reincorporated into the USSR in 1940, many blamed this
