Nazi Germany just engaged in a rapid process of rearmament.They were able too forge alliances and psychologically prepare the nation for war.luckly Britain and France remained committed to appeasement.This was despite some internal dissent, in the face of increasingly inflammatory Nazi actions.The Sino-Japanese war just  began in July 1937 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.honestly imhorrified. How do the men tollarsate this stuff.
This was carried out against a backdrop of international appeasement and is regarded by some as the start of World War Two.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact was just signed on 23 August 1939.this I gong to be a long war. As far as the eye can see.

Since I’m a girl in all. I’m proud that i was able to serve my country and protect it.though there were a few questions from my fellow soldiers. Apparently they have never heard of a woman being a soldier until then.i was treated differently than the men were. I was given the more simpler tasks than the men. Even though i was fully capable of taking on those tasks. They said  “ we don’t want you to hurt that beautiful face of yours”. They said “ we don’t think your ready for that”. Let’s just say i proved them wrong. Big time!😀 ]]> 2018-11-07 21:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_ainsworth/nnnds7doreu1/wish/301800799 alexis_ainsworth https://padlet.com/alexis_ainsworth/nnnds7doreu1/wish/302776640
Neville Chamberlain declared war on Germany at 11:15 on 3 September 1939.Two days after their invasion of Poland, his speech was followed by what would become the familiar sound of air raid sirens.
Poland’s losses were overwhelming during the German invasion of September and October 1939.Polish losses included 70,000 men killed, 133,000 wounded and 700,000 taken prisoner in the defence of the nation against Germany.In the other direction, 50,000 Poles died fighting the Soviets, of whom only 996 perished, following their invasion on 16 September. 45,000 ordinary Polish citizens were shot in cold blood during the initial German invasion.
British non-aggression at the start of the war was derided at home and abroad.We now know this as the Phoney War. The RAF dropped propaganda literature over Germany, which was humorously referred to as ‘Mein Pamph’.
Britain gained a morale-boosting victory in a naval engagement in Argentina on 17 December 1939.It saw the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee scuttled in the River Plate estuary. This was the only action of the war to reach South America.

 The attempted Soviet invasion of Finland in November-December 1939 initially ended in comprehensive defeat.It also resulted in Soviet expulsion from the League of Nations. Eventually however the Finns were beaten into signing the Moscow Peace Treaty on 12 March 1940.
The French Army was one of the largest in the world.The experience of World War One however, had left it with a defensive mentality that paralysed its potential effectiveness and engendered a reliance on the Maginot Line.Germany ignored the Maginot Line however.The main thrust of their advance into France moving through the Ardennes in northern Luxembourg and southern Belgium as part of the Sichelschnitt plan.
The Germans employed Blitzkrieg tactics.They used armoured vehicles and aircraft to make rapid territorial gains. This military strategy was developed in Britain in the 1920s.
The Battle of Sedan, 12-15 May, provided a momentous breakthrough for the Germans.
