The U.S. had cracked one of their codes for when they were to attack Southeast Asia and we sent aid to help try to stop them. When that didn't work Roosevelt cut of their oil supply but they continued with their plans hoping to catch the European colonial powers and the United States by surprise. With this they planned massive attacks on British and Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia and an American outpost in the Pacific along with a surprise attack on the U.S. fleet in Hawaii. On December 7, 1941 they attacked and it was forever to be known as “a date that will live in infamy.”

Russia's military strategy was called Scored Earth and it was a tactic to bring in Germany as close as possible and have them waste all their supplies and resources during this time so the Russians could be able to push them back with tanks and aircrafts. The German's new military strategy was called the Blitzkrieg which was mainly the focus on using mobile forces and attack to their advantage. The American strategy was called Island Hopping in which it was used to hop from island to island in order to take over Japan. The Japanese attack, Kamikaze attacks, were where pilots would crash into the enemy as a suicide mission. ]]> 2016-04-28 16:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108299516 339416 https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108300165 The major countries that were involved in WWII were France, Britain, USA, USSR, Germany, Italy, and Japan. The ruler for France was Charles de Gaulle, For Britain it was Winston Churchill, the USA was Franklin D. Roosevelt, the USSR had Joseph Stalin, and Germany was under the rule of Adolf Hitler, for Italy it was Benito Mussolini, and  Japan was under the rule of Michinomiya Hirohito.]]> 2016-04-28 16:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108300165 339416 https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108322731 The major turning points in WWII were the Battle of Britain because it was the first time Hitler was stopped. Also I believe the Battle of the Coral Sea was one of the major turning points of WWII because it was the war that Japan had lost to. I think these two battles were the turning points because we were able to stop Hitler and weaken Japanese defenses.]]> 2016-04-28 17:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108322731 339416 https://padlet.com/339416/p6ust7xikzmz/wish/108322923 The Holocaust was the persecution and mass murder of European Jews during WWII. After the war broke out in 1939, the Nazis began to send out killing squads and put them in camps to either work them to death or kill them right away. The Nazis killed six million jews and five million non-Jews, including many Polish, Romani (Gypsies), and Russians.
