Brief explanation :

The Holocaust was a time when the Nazi government in Germany persecuted and killed about six million Jews in Europe, with the help of its allies. It took place between 1933 and 1945. The Nazis followed an very bad antisemitic ideology, believing that Jewish people were an “inferior” race and a threat to German society. This hatred led to genocide, which means the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people.

Why and how is it used in the second world war ? :

During World War II, the Nazis used the Holocaust to further their racist ideology and further their war effort. They believed Jews were a threat and wanted to eliminate them. As they invaded more territory, millions of Jews were trapped under their control and unable to escape. The Nazis then decided to exterminate them. To achieve this, they used various methods: mass shootings, ghettos, extermination camps, forced labor, and death marches. They also stole Jewish property and received aid from Allied countries.

What were the consequence of the holocaust ? :

1. Worldwide : The deaths of six million Jews, the trauma, the anti-Semitism, the bones, the ashes, the bodies found in the concentration camps. The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945, primarily to maintain peace and such horrors from ever happening again. This led to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.

2. The Allied Powers : The Allied discovery of the Holocaust (the Shoah) at the end of World War II had serious and lasting consequences for politics, the justice system, and other areas. The liberation of the camps (Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, etc.) by Allied troops revealed the full extent of the Nazi genocide. They had to establish new legal principles to prosecute Nazi crimes. The Allies had to manage hundreds of thousands of survivors in refugee camps. The crimes of the Holocaust led the Allies to establish the United Nations (1945), the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948), and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). And the Allies became aware of these horrors and adjusted their laws to prevent certain mistakes from being repeated.

3. The Axis countries : The Holocaust had serious and lasting consequences for the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, and their allies), leading to significant changes in their societies after World War II. The Allied nations underwent a process of “denazification” to eliminate Nazi influence from society. Germany assumed historical responsibility by paying reparations to survivors and the State of Israel. Italy lost its colonies and certain European territories. Japan was occupied by the United States and had to dismantle its colonial empire.

What were the Allied and the Axis Powers position on this subject?

The Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) were responsible for the Holocaust, while the Allies (the United Kingdom, the USSR, the United States) opposed this method of warfare and liberated the camps where Jews were imprisoned. The Axis powers killed six million Jews, with the assistance of certain European allies in these crimes. In contrast, while the Allies recognized the gravity of the extermination of the Jews, they focused more on winning the war.

How did both sides react or use this?

The Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) used the Holocaust to kill as many people as possible so that no one would stand in their way and to win the war. But the Allies opposed this ideology and tried to fight them to put an end to the extermination of the Jews.

Is this still present today? Why and how.

No, the Holocaust definitely no longer exists. It came to an end in 1945, around the same time as World War II, when the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) were defeated by the Allies. German leader Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Shortly thereafter, Germany, weakened by the war, surrendered on May 7, 1945. The war in Europe officially ended on May 8.

Interesting facts:

2/3 of the population Jews is death by the Holocaust.

More than the half of Jews were killed.

Nearly 80 years after the war, approximately 196,600 Jewish Holocaust survivors are still alive in 2026.

The word comes from Ancient Greek and means “completely consumed by fire.”

Six millions of Jews is death.

2. The Allied Powers : After the Holocaust, the world realized that it was important for the Jewish people to have their own country. This led to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. After the war, the Allied nations also had to assist millions of displaced people, including many Jewish survivors who no longer had homes. Thus, the Holocaust led to the creation of Israel and left many people homeless after the war.

MEN (They were fighting in the war.)

WOMEN (Women mostly worked at home cooking, baking, and taking care of the kids.)

KIDS (Collecting scrap metal, knitting clothing, taking on household chores, and playing with their siblings; little boys were preparing to go to war as soon as they turned 16.)

FUN FACTS (1) The Germans started World War II by invading Poland on September 1, 1939. (2) Most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy or influence during WWII; the Nazi leadership began planning for Europe on the day the Nazis took power in late January 1933. (3) In 1945, a boat sank because a sailor incorrectly operated the new high-pressure toilet system, causing a big flood and forcing the captain to scuttle the sub. (4) Adolf Hitler loved Disney movies, films, and sketching some of the characters. (5) Germany trained over 40,000 marines for specialized tasks but never actually deployed them in the war.

THEM AT WAR (They conquered much of Europe by 1941, launched a massive invasion of the Soviet Union, and committed unprecedented atrocities including the Holocaust, which resultedd in the murder of millions.)

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE GERMANS AT WAR (50 to 70 million global deaths, the Holocaust's systematic ferocity against six million Jews, and the profound geopolitical reshaping of Europe.)

GERMANS NOW (The army is still very strong to this day, but at this moment they are not at war.)

The definition of a dictatorship is a government where absolute power is held by a single person (a dictator).

DICTATORSHIP was used during World War II for rapid militarization, centralization of power, and the implementation of aggressive expansionist goals.

The consequences were fatal, because many human died and many material it was a total defeat.

The positions of the Allied and Axis powers clashed over the objectives of the war. Current presence

5 interesting facts The last Japanese soldier to surrender did so in 1974: Hiroo Onoda continued fighting on Lubang Island in the Philippines for 29 years after the official end of the war. He refused to believe the conflict was over until his former commander personally went there to order him to lay down his arms. The "Big Bear" soldier in the Polish army: A Syrian brown bear named Wojtek was officially enlisted as a soldier in a Polish unit. He helped transport crates of heavy ammunition during the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy and ended his days peacefully at Edinburgh Zoo. Operation "Mincemeat," or the man who didn't exist: To deceive the Germans about the location of the invasion of Sicily, British intelligence used the corpse of a man (Glyndwr Michael) dressed as an officer with fake secret documents attached to his wrist. The body was dropped into the sea and washed ashore in Spain, and the plan worked perfectly. The "Night Witches": This was an all-female Soviet pilot regiment that carried out nighttime bombing raids. To avoid detection, they cut their engines before approaching their targets, emitting only a whirring sound reminiscent of a broomstick, which earned them this nickname from terrified German soldiers. A multi-million dollar ice cream barge: In 1945, the U.S. Navy built a concrete barge specifically designed to produce ice cream for troops in the Pacific. It could produce about 38 liters (10 gallons) of ice cream every second to boost troop morale.

The millions of women globally who supported the war efforts through paid labor, voluntary service, and military auxiliary roles, breaking gender barriers.

They were used to build war materials, support military operations in non-combat roles, and maintain the house front.

Massive shifts in roles entering the workforce and military in unprecedented numbers, which propelled long-term advancement in gender equality.

Women’s participation in World War II was a turning point, thought Allied and Axis powers held fundamentally different ideologically driven positions on the subject.

The legacy of WWII women is still deeply present, thought its form has evolved.The necessity of their work proved their capabilities, leading to on going advancements in women’s rights and equality.

About 6 millions US women entering industry and 350 000 serving in the US Armed Forces. Josephine Baker worked as a spy for France, using high-society access to smuggle secrets, often written in invisible ink. Women often faced harassment and were paid 53% of what men earned.Despite their crucial contribution, WASP members did not receive official veteran status until 1977. Over 1600 nurses were decorated for bravery under fire, and 16 were killed in direct enemy fire

Aircrafts, Tanks and Weapons ~ Anthony & Yorann

# data[].attributes.body
-Definition-

The backbone of a country’s military ; tools of war forged for one sole purpose : destruction. Aircrafts dominate the skies and engage in fast-paced dogfights with each other, while tanks conquer the grounds, armed with huge-caliber explosive shells and robust armor. Weapons, on the other hand, is more of a general term, which can vary from submachine guns to pocket knives to anti-air turrets. But mostly the term refers to infantry-carried guns, in this case.

-Relation with WWII-

Wars aren’t wars without weapons, for it is battles with these weapons that decide the outcome of a war. These tools are operated by soldiers to incapacitate the enemy; the goal of both sides. The Allied and Axis Power’s weapons had ressemblences and differences, though not much. In the war, it was a race between both sides to invent the most efficient weapons possible, coming up with quite unique designs.

-Interesting facts-

The most produced firearms were bolt-action rifles, such as the M1 Garand (USA), the Lee Enfield (UK), the Mosin-Nagant (USSR), the Kar98k (Germany) and the Arisaka Type 99 (Japan). Some of the most used tanks include the M4 Sherman (USA), the T-34 (USSR), and the Panzer IV (Germany). Some commonly used aircrafts were the B17 Flying Fortress (USA), the Supermarine Spitfire (UK), and the Bf 109 (Germany)

To this day, humanity is still modernizing and improving their weapons with modern technology, becoming even more efficient and powerful, but, hopefully, we will not need to use it.

Spies and secret agents by Maika and Gabrielle

# data[].attributes.body
A spy is a person who, while in enemy-controlled territory, attempts to gather information to help their team's side. A secret agent is a person who passes secrets, does sabotages, or supports resistance.

They were used for intelligence gathering, sabotage, and deception, allowing allies to track enemy troop movements and disrupt supply lines.

CONSEQUENCES—Worldwide: it influences the outcomes of wars, intelligence gathering, etc. Allied Powers: successfully misleading German forces about D-Day and other events. Axis countries: crippling their military planning, turning agents against them, etc.

The Allied and Axis Powers used spies and secret agents by operating behind enemy lines, in neutral territories, and on the front to gather intelligence, sabotage infrastructure, and conduct deception operations.

Spies and secret agents are still present today to gather human intelligence that satellites and drones cannot capture, such as enemy intentions, morale, and hidden decision-making.

Interesting facts:

1. People who became spies were generally people who already had access to secret documents and information.

2. There were also female spies on both sides of the war.

3. The British turned more than 40 German spies into double agents, whom they used to find information and provide the Germans with false information.

4. The Soviet Union had the most spies and secret agents.

5. The SOE set up top-secret training schools to instruct prospective agents in the art of being a spy.

Here are some movies you could watch to learn more about spies and secret agents: A Call to Spy, The Monuments Men, and Operation Mincemeat. (These are recommended by Google.)

A nuclear bomb uses a nuclear reaction to create a massive explosion. It was used in World War Il to show the world a new terrifying power, and destroy military hubs. And to prove the first wasn't a fluke, it showed that the US had a supply of bombs, and would keep dropping them on Japan until they surrendered.

The consequences of the nuclear bomb were that atmospheric testing released radiation worldwide, causing long-term cancer risks and contaminating soil and water. It ended the war instantly, preventing a ground invasion that would have killed millions of Allied soldiers.

The Allied and Axis powers' positions on the subject were that the US and UK were relieved and celebrated. The USSR started a race to build its own bomb. Japan was in total shock and surrendered. Germany didn't think a nuclear bomb was possible yet, so they were surprised.

To this day, the nuclear bomb is still very present, and people are scared of it. Interesting facts: For 20 years, the US launch code was just 00000000 to ensure speed during an emergency.

The nuclear bomb was invented by thousands of scientists and engineers in the Manhattan Project.

A 1955 test proved that beer and soda are safe to drink after a nuclear blast.

A 1957 underground test accidentally launched a steel manhole cover at 240,000 km/h. It likely became the first man-made object to leave Earth's gravity.

In 1961, the USSR conducted a test, and the explosion was so strong that the shockwave travelled three times around the Earth.

Marines are troops trained for land and sea combat, especially amphibious landings from ships to shore. In World War II, Allied Marines fought major Pacific battles like Iwo Jima, while Japanese naval landing forces mainly defended islands. Today, the U.S. Marine Corps is a fast-response force that can deploy quickly anywhere and uses air, land, and sea units together. Their training is very intense, focusing on discipline and endurance, and they also help with disaster relief and humanitarian missions.
