This compelling book follows the significant battles over the
course of World War II. European countries and their colonies and
allies, such as the United States and Canada, supplied forces for
battles. Readers will learn that fighting took place in five parts
of the world: western and eastern Europe, North Africa, the
Balkans, the Middle East, and Asia. New advances in technology
since WWI led to fierce fighting on land, at sea, and in the air.
Find out how victory was won or lost in such famous conflicts as
the Battle of the Atlantic, Germany's Blitzkrieg, the Battle of
Britain, Dieppe, Paris, Stalingrad, Berlin, Midway, Pearl Harbor,
and the dropping of the atomic bombs.
This thoughtful book describes the course of events that followed
the end of World War II, and the war's long-term legacy. Readers
will learn about war crimes trials in Japan and Germany. The
Nuremburg Trials detailed the horrifying mass murder of six million
Jews by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The Paris Peace Conference
in 1947 redrew international boundaries and created the state of
Israel in an attempt to ensure the survival of the Jewish people.
It also split Germany into two parts, each occupied by different
countries and setting the stage for a new kind of war - the cold
war. Discussion boxes describe reconstruction in Germany and Japan,
what lessons leaders learned from the mistakes of WWI's Treaty of
Versailles, and the founding of the United Nations.
