But after a year the treaty was signed the Germans violated it and occupied Denmark. The danish soldiers tried to fight but after two hours they surrendered to the Germans. Though they were furious they couldn't do anything about it. Instead they became Germany's "pet canary". The resistance groups started to pop up in Britain and other places. In Denmark few groups started to form. Their weapon of choice usually was a box of matches and gasoline or other flammable things. because weapons were hard to get. 
The Churchill club
The Churchill club was made up of 8 members and was later expanded to more. These original members names were Knud Pedersen, Eigil, Helge, Jens, Borge, Mogens.F., Mogens.T, Uffe. Everyone in the group were in their teens but their age didn't stop them from doing something that everyone in denmark wanted but did not have the courage to do. They started with simple tasks like stealing small things from the German gaurds. Then after they got grip of that they started going bigger and bigger. Lighting things on fire and destroying German trucks and so on. They painted the Swastika in blue near their destruction to make a mark.]]> 2019-02-05 19:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/327995490 Background Information malachi_wang https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/328787061 WWII started in 1939, and not only was it the most bloody war recorded, with 40,000,000-85,000,000 people died, but it also included nearly each and every country (At the time) in the world influenced by it.  It started when Adolf Hitler threatened Germany's surrounding countries that they shall join his side in destroying the Jews, or to resist and be brought into war against Germany, who would mercilessly destroyed everything they know that is related to you.  When Denmark received this message in 1940, the country's leaders accepted the request to join sides with the Germans.  A boy named Knud was ashamed about his county's leaders just giving in without any resistance, while he noted that their next-door neighbor, Norway, resisted and continued to struggle and fight against Germany, even though they were overpowered by the Germans.  So, Knud organized a club that would sabotage the German equipment, so that he would not be ashamed by his country. In the beginning, the club painted blue paint all over walls, and twisted signs that were supposed to lead the soldiers to their barracks.  Later on, they nabbed guns, and once they tried to blow up a building holding designs for German airplanes.  Soon enough, they blew up German cars and then, ended up in jail.  Because of this, the Danish were outraged, starting to sabotage German Property as well, and even though there was a big risk, they still continued to sabotage German property.

To the anti-Semitic weirdo leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community.1933-1939 beginning in the fall of 1939, weirdo officials selected around 70,000 Germans institutionalized for mental illness or disabilities to be gassed to death in the so-called Euthanasia Program. After prominent German religious leaders protested, Hitler put an end to the program in August 1941, though killings of the disabled continued in secrecy, and by 1945 some 275,000 people deemed handicapped from all over Europe had been killed.]]> 2019-02-07 15:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/328798607 zoe_sandela https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/328798774 2019-02-07 15:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/328798774 zoe_sandela https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/328806255 The Nazis also killed other groups of people, including Roma ('gypsies') and disabled people. They also arrested and took away the rights of other groups, like gay people and political opponents. Many of them died as a result of their treatment.The Holocaust was an example of 🤬. 🤬 is deliberately killing a large group of people, usually because they are a certain nationality, race or religion.
Many people were poor and there weren't enough jobs to go round, and one reason many Germans turned to the Nazis was the hope that they would bring about change.

Then, in January 1933, the Nazis were invited to form a government after they were voted as the largest party in an election.
From the moment his party came to power, Adolf Hitler set out to impose po values on all aspects of German life, taking control using fear and terror.

Adolf Hitler set out to impose values on all aspects of German life

When the German President Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler declared himself to be the Fuhrer or 'supreme leader of Germany'. (Nowadays, the word Fuhrer has a negative meaning of a ruthless leader who imposes brutal rule over people.)
The three most important things to Hitler and the Nazis were:
  • The purity of the Aryan race
  • The greatness of Germany
  • Idolising the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler

The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and of six million Jews by the regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.

During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived racial and biological inferiority: Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.

Driven by a racist ideology legitimized by German scientists, the Nazis attempted to eliminate all of Europe’s Jews, ultimately killing six million in the Holocaust. Many other people also became victims of persecution and in the Nazis’ campaign to cleanse German society of individuals viewed as threats to the “health” of the nation.

“Our starting point is not the individual, and we do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked....Our objectives are entirely different: we must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world.”
—Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, 1938

Some government leaders and officials thought it was important to invade other lands to gain more power and control.  They joined axis alliance with Germany and Italy. 
Pearl Harbor:
December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. They thought that if they sink enough ships that the Americans would not be able to attack them. They also assumed that America was already involved in World War 2. But this turned out to be a terrible move on their part. Their actions led the U.S to sign up for WWII.  ]]> 2019-02-08 19:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329379167 Source sreeja_sunkara https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329385772 2019-02-08 19:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329385772 WHY did Japan attack Pearl Harbor? malachi_wang https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329387038 Until December 7, 1941, the U.S.A. didn't decide to enter the war.  Then on that day, Japan used some of it's air force to bomb pearl harbor.  This led to the U.S.A. joining WWII, but WHY did Japan decide to bomb Pearl Harbor, killing over 3,500 american soldiers with many important, powerful, and expensive battleships and aircraft carriers?  Well, they first wanted to get rid of an important force of a powerful nation, so even if America joined the war, they would be weaker.  Also, they did this so that America would surrender, meaning that they would have the entire "ring of fire" in their territory.  But, this would be their biggest mistake, as the U.S.A. would later on join the war and defeat Japan.

But why did he do it? Why did he hate all Jewish people? He was favorable to the Jews in the beginning so what had changed? When Hitler was in the hospital after a battle in world war 1 he got news of Germany's defeat and like many Germans blamed it on their own people for not being patriotic enough. In result of this he aimed to unite all of Germany to create strong German nationalism. In his efforts to create propaganda he created the 🤬 party of National Socialist German Workers. He adopted the symbol of spirituality and turned it into evil. He felt that the master race should have ethnic purity and called for one supreme leader. He started to take over everyone and gaining power. ]]> 2019-02-10 16:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329613980 Leaders of WW2 zoe_sandela https://padlet.com/sreeja_sunkara/ipneqkom3fym/wish/329915039 From: Leaders of WW2 by Stewart Ross
