The name 'Kamikaze' was used again during WW2 for suicide attacks by Japanese pilots who deliberately crashed their planes into enemy targets.A scorched-earth policy is a military strategy that targets anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area. “Island Hopping” is the phrase given to the strategy employed by the United States to gain military bases and secure the many small islands in the Pacific. ]]> 2017-05-10 16:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171056047 349108 https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171056479  One of the many ways that Germany showed aggression was by trying to expand their country. For example Germany took control of Poland and this was the start of the war. During WW1 Hitler targeted Jews. He in 1935 a series of laws were passed in Germany that would would take the right of the Jews living in Germany. Hitler  would then round up those who lived in his countries to kill them either by starvation or weapons. Rhineland was the first country that Germany/Hitler took over, it created a buffer zone between Germany and France. In order to expand the Third Reich Hitler demanded that Sudetenland was given to Germany. Then Germany annexes Austria, in other words he goes in to Austria to try and get the German-speaking people for the Third Reich. The Non-Aggression Pact was a pact between Germany and the Soviet Union stating that they would not attack one another. ]]> 2017-05-10 16:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171056479 349108 https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171057446 Just like Germany, Japan also showed aggression during WWll.

The Rape of Nanking was a period of six weeks in which Imperial Japanese Army Forces brutally murdered soldiers and civilian of the Chinese city of Nanking. Between 20,000 and 80,000 women were sexually assaulted during the Rape of Nanking. Another thing that the Japanese did to show aggression during WWll is known as the Bataan Death March, because the Japanese thought it was dishonorable to surrender they treated soldiers they captured harshly. During the Bataan soldiers forced prisoners to march 50 miles and if they were to stop they were treated cruelly. 70,000 prisoner begin marching only 54,000 survived. ]]> 2017-05-10 16:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171057446 349108 https://padlet.com/349108/86vkmngq93gr/wish/171057561 The Nuremberg Trials was an attempt to deal with the war crimes during WWll.
