That same year, they opened a concentration camp, meaning a giant prison, for political prisoners. ... In September 1939, Hitler went a step further, invading Poland, which caused Britain and France to declare war, officially starting the conflict. 🤬 Germany engaged in a rapid process of rearmament through the 1930s. ]]> 2019-05-13 14:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/359500710 SuperRayan https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/359501322  The two dates most often mentioned as “the beginning of World War II” are July 7, 1937, when the “Marco Polo Bridge Incident” led to a prolonged war between Japan and China, and September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, which led Britain and France to declare war on Hitler's Nazi state in retaliation. ]]> 2019-05-13 14:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/359501322 SuperRayan https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360308727  World War II was the most destructive conflict in history. It cost more money, damaged more property, killed more people, and caused more far-reaching changes than any other war in history. It is estimated that 1.5 million children died during the Holocaust.The War became a global conflict after the German military, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland in 1939 because he wanted to take some of their land for Germany. France and the UK declared war on Germany because they didn’t think what Germany was doing was right, then Italy joined with Germany, and gradually other countries in Europe and around the world became involved with either the Allies or the Axis powers.]]> 2019-05-15 12:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360308727 SuperRayan https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360311425 In 1940, the French port of Dunkirk
 was the location of a big turning point for the Allies in World War II. Hitler’s armies bombed Dunkirk heavily, and many Allied troops were waiting on the beach to be rescued because they didn’t have the resources they needed to fight back. From 26 May to 4 June, over 550,000 troops were ferried to safety across the English Channel – the code name for this was ‘Operation Dynamo’. Some British civilians (people who weren’t in the army) even used their own boats to help save as many people as they could. The rescue operation helped to boost morale in Britain, where they really needed some good news. This helped in going into the next major event in World War II, the Battle of Britain.]]> 2019-05-15 12:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360311425 SuperRayan https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360313872  World War 2 ended with the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers.

After Germany and Hitler had conquered most of Europe, including France, the only major country left to fight them was Great Britain. Germany wanted to invade Great Britain, but first they needed to destroy Great Britain's Royal Air Force. The Battle of Britain was when Germany bombed Great Britain in order to try and destroy their air force and prepare for invasion. The Battle of Britain started on July 10th, 1940. It lasted many months as the Germans continued to bomb Britain. ]]> 2019-05-15 13:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360314301 SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360316269  Great Britain's air force was called the RAF or the Royal Air Force. Germany's air force was called the Luftwaffe. The code name for Hitler's invasion plans was Operation Sea Lion. It is estimated that around 1,000 British planes were shot down during the battle, while over 1,800 German planes were destroyed. The main types of fighter planes used in the battle were the Messerschmitt Bf109 and the Bf110 by the German Luftwaffe and Hurricane Mk and Spitfire Mk by the Royal Air Force.The leader of the German Luftwaffe was Herman Goering. The leader of the Royal Air Force was Sir Hugh Dowding. Germany continued to bomb London at night until May of 1941. This series of bombings was called the Blitz. At one point London was bombed for 57 nights in a row.Hitler finally stopped bombing London because he needed his bombers to invade Russia. ]]> 2019-05-15 13:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360316269 SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360319502 2019-05-15 13:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360319502 SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360322866 2019-05-15 13:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360322866 SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360326628 2019-05-15 13:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/360326628 SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN https://padlet.com/SuPerRaYaNSuPerRaYaN/943vxc0skofs/wish/362069205 The First Atomic Bomb ever made was created during WW2 by the Americans and was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
