Jews were being discriminated and treated horribly when not killed off. From 1933 to 1945 were the Jews lived in a terrible life. This genocide was developed in a series of steps. The first being the Nuremberg Laws, laws that deprived Jews of their rights. Second being and event in 1938 named Kristallnacht, violent act were Jews were attacked and had their streets destroyed.

One of the military strategies used for WWII is named Blitzkrieg. Characterizes all force power of tanks, artillery, and air power, overwhelming force at a fast rate that breaks through enemy lines, and, once the lines are broken, flank will happen. The blitzkrieg tries to keep its enemy off-balance, making it harder to respond. Another strategy was used by the Japanese specifically was a suicidal plane attack carrying bombs to enemy warships. Scorched Earth is another strategy used in WWII were soldiers would destroy everything of property and resources so that the enemy won't use it against them. The Soviets used this tactic against the Germans so that the Germans would not eat nor have a home in the cold climate of Russia. The last strategy called island hopping, used by the Allied Powers to bypass enemy bases and focus the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended, but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of the Axis Powers. This would allow the Allies to gain more land quickly.
