World War II:Europe
-
The Soviet Union
Sorta works with Germany to get part of Poland they could have been allies but Germany thought they were cool
Germany wants Soviet’s natural resources like oil because Germany doesn’t have enough resources to wage this kind of war.
Hitler tries to invade the Soviet Union in the winter but that was a big mistake because Hitler was not prepared for the weather and got messed up
-
US Involvement
US signs Atlantic charter which tells Germany to stay out of the Atlantic and is the first international organization of democracy.
-
Still passive and not joining war for 2 years then allies with countries like Britain and Canada, against Germany
To start the US helps allies by using “ cash and carry” which is helping by sending cash but not putting our own people in danger but this switches to “ lend and lease” where we do put our people in danger to transport supplies to our allies. Also the “ lending” is the same as lending chewing gum since we aren’t getting that stuff back.
First Moves
Hitler invades russia, failed at it bc they decided to fight them during the winter which was perfect for Russia since they’re experienced with th winter
Russian expansion into poland, finland, and baltic states
