1. Word War II was fought between the Axis powers (Japan, Germany, and Italy) and the Allied forces (Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, US, and Russia). In Asia in 1931, World War II began its Asian phase when Japan invaded Manchuria.  In 1939, Germany started to attack Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. The US did not fight in World War II until 1941 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. World War II was fought on all the continents except North America and Antarctica. The leader of Germany was Adolf Hitler, Italy was led by Mussolini and Japan was led by its Emperor Hirohito. World War II started due to one man’s thirst for power and his name was Adolf Hitler. The leaders of Italy and Japan also sought world wide power and chose to ally themselves with Hitler. Hitler was brazen and methodical. On September 29, 1938, he dominated the meeting at Munich. He was able to invalidate the Treaty of Versailles, rearm Germany militarily and he gained Austria through his bullying stance. What a history lesson to be learned for all nations. Bullies need to be stopped not pacified. Ostrich head in the sand is not the correct strategy with a bully.

:Superb, but also mention when the war ended: 1945.

2.  (Substituted H4) History does repeat itself! For instance, the Korean War was fought because North Korea wanted to make South Korea a communist nation. Meanwhile South Korea wanted to be a free enterprise nation unlike the communist Nation of North Korea. This is similar to the Civil War in the United States where the Southern states wanted to leave the Northern states but the Northern wanted to contain the South so that the United States would continue to be one whole nation. A civil war broke out that put the United States at risk from invasion and even domination from foreign nations. In the end the Civil War was won by the North. The difference is that North Korea and South Korea had tons of foreign nations giving arms, money and troops to help the war effort. Due to advanced technology of freedom of travel, the interference of foreign nations was more accessible in the 20th century than in the 19th century. Even though France and Great Britain were jockeying for position in the American civil war, their direct ability to affect would have been limited by the technology of that century.
