Stalin and Hitler Signed a Nonaggression Pact
I can just eat my ice cream in peace since we all agreed never go to war. Gee, things are sure swell here in Europe.
Waaaahhhh! I want to raise an army and take back the Rhineland.
Now wait right there, young man. I thought I told you that you couldn t have an army.
Oh, sweetheart. Don t you think you re being a bit hard on the Hitler.
Yeah, Dad. Just give me this one thing and I ll be good.
Well alright. But after the Rhineland you can t have anymore.
Hoo-ha! Thanks Pa. I can t wait to tell Timmy and the rest of the Nazis.
Waaaahhhh! Now give me Austria and Czechoslovakia and Poland and more more more!
Hitler, You re completely out of control. I m putting an end to this right now.
The Policy of Appeasement Major European powers wish to avoid another war March 1936, German troops enter the Rhineland March 1938, Hitler annexed Austria In September 1938, Hitler demanded that Czechoslovakia give him a German speaking region called the Sudetenland
The Policy of Appeasement World leaders at the Munich Conference allowed Hitler to take the Sudetenland after promises that he would stop there Six months later Hitler conquered the rest of Czechoslovakia Hitler then demanded that land be returned from Poland
Um, guys?
Have you been noticing a trend here?
I mean you re going to do something about this, right?
He signed a nonaggression pact with Stalin. You know what that means right?
Please say you have my back in this.
Even Gandhi hops in
What are you gonna do? Sob me to death with stories of how you don t want another war? I m calling your bluff.
The War Begins September 1 st, 1939 - Hitler launches a surprise attack against Poland September 3 rd, 1939 Britain and France declare war on Germany Poland was conquered in three weeks thanks to Hitler s new military strategy, Blitzkrieg (lightning war)
Hey ho, lets go x4 They're forming in straight line They're going through a tight wind The kids are losing their minds The blitzkrieg bop They're piling in the back seat They generate steam heat Pulsating to the back beat The blitzkrieg bop Hey ho, lets go shoot em in the back now What they want, I dont know They're all reved up and ready to go They're forming in straight line They're going through a tight wind The kids are losing their minds The blitzkrieg bop They're piling in the back seat They generate steam heat Pulsating to the back beat The blitzkrieg bop
The War Begins September 17 th, 1939 Stalin sends troops to conquer East Poland Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania soon fall to the Soviet Union November 1939, Stalin sent nearly 1 million troops into Finland And then nothing else happened for seven months (Phony War)
Is there something I m missing here? Can t my planes fly right over this thing? Why don t I just go around this thing? Hmmm.
The Fall of France May 1940, Hitler launches a surprise attack taking Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg in two months Hitler squeezed through the Maginot Line in the north and took direct control over northern France Allied forces were backed into the city of Dunkirk, where the British pulled off a heroic rescue
Look at the Allies run. I never really liked the French.
You cool if I join the war? Heck yeah. Let s finish off France.
Let s do this thing!
OMG! We re all gonna die!
Yeah, it s time for some tactical thinking. I m a war hero and a prominent head of state. I m sure Hitler would be willing to meet with me and talk this out logically. And when I gain this audience, I will unveil our secret strategy
We surrender.
That s right you do. So here s how this works. I own you now. Germany is taking most of your country. But as long as you cooperate, I ll allow France to continue to exist. You can even be in charge. How does that sound?
This is a really big deal. Petain is still considered today to be one of the worst traitors/collaborators in modern history. He is working with the Nazis to gain power. However, he is also keeping his people alive. At the time, the French are very torn. Some support the idea of Vichy France. Others create resistance movements to fight off the Germans whenever possible. And remember, the majority of the French army actually escaped to England. So the French still have an army they just don t necessarily have a country. There are two Frances now. Vichy France which exists as a puppet government of the Nazis, and the idea of a Free France that half of the French army continues to fight for. This means that there are also two leaders of France. Philippe Petain who has been put in charge by the Nazis, and the highest ranking officer of the remaining French forces. All of the French who resent the surrender rally around this general. His name is Charles de Gaulle.
It is the obligatory duty of all Frenchmen who still bear arms to continue the struggle. For them to lay down their arms, to evacuate any position of military importance, or agree to hand over any part of French territory, however small, to enemy control would be a crime against our country.
But all of de Gaulle's talking doesn t change the fact that the Axis Powers now control almost all of Europe.
The Fall of France Italy and Germany beat France into a surrender June 22, 1940 Southern France left as a puppet government (Vichy France) A French general named Charles de Gaulle fled to Britain and set up a government in exile (Free France)
