    Winter War Pros And Cons

    The Winter War erupted on 30 November 1939, when Stalin unleashed his Red Army in an all-out assault against Finland. In August that year Stalin and Hitler had divided Eastern Europe between their two countries in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact officially known as the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939, hereafter known as The Pact, putting Finland in the Soviet sphere of influence. During the fall, Stalin demanded that Finland cede key parts of the country to the USSR. When Finland refused to meet all his demands Stalin waged war between the giant Soviet Union and the microscopic Finland ( Ries). The war ended with the Peace of Moscow. A breakdown of the war follows including the causes, Finland and the USSR’s…

    Cause Of Ww2 Research Paper

    World War II was arguably the largest and most destructive war in history. It shaped the world we live in today and its shadows can still be found. Battles were fought on multiple continents, the air, and the sea. The many facets of the war have been explored by scholars and students for over 65 years. The many causes, the results and the importance of the battles won or lost lies in the eyes of the author. It can easily be assumed that this war flared from the cinders of World War I, but complexity of it expands from there. Similar to WWI, there were many conflicting situations leading up to the war, (Treaty of Versailles, Hitler and Mussolini’s actions, and failure of appeasement and the League of Nations) but Germany’s invasion of Poland set the wheels in motion (parallel to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in WWI). This resulted in Britain and France declaring war on Germany in September 1939 (historyonthenet).…

    Causes Of Joseph Stalin's Non Aggression Pact

    The soviet dictator Joseph Stalin signed a ten year non-aggression pact with German dictator Adolf Hitler. In the pact, though, both leaders decided that they would divide Poland between themselves. That was fine, but Hitler acted fast first. His surprise attack took place on September 1,1939. Tanks and trucks along with planes and bombs bombarded the polish. Not long after, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany. They were too late, though, because Poland fell before any of their military action could take place.…

Italy, under the control of the fascist Benito Mussolini, was allied with Germany, and the two nations fought against the British (and later the Americans) in North Africa and…

    Francisco Franco

    Francisco Franco was a general and authoritarian leader, who governed Spain from 1939 to 1975. He came to power shortly after the start of the Spanish Civil War.

    Invasion of Poland

    The invasion of Poland was the spark that ignited the world’s largest war in history. Even though Germany had already annexed the Sudetenland and Austria, this was the last straw because France and Britain had guaranteed Poland’s borders. If they had lost them, France and Britain’s credibility would almost be depleted and the rest would lie with their homeland ("Invasion of Poland"). Germany had invaded Poland on September 1st but Poland was very reluctant to go to war and was even willing to forget the invasion if Germany had retreated by September 3rd ("Why Germany invaded"). Naturally, the Germans were already committed to the invasion and refused to retreat. France and Britain had also alerted Germany that they would declare war against the Germans if they did not withdraw from Poland by September 3rd. This invasion played a primary role in the creation of World War Two because it forced the Allies to declare war on Germany.…
