Study Notes
- The Second World War started because the Germans wanted to conquer Europe, Italy wanted control of the Mediterranean, and Japan wanted control of Asia.
- Several factors influenced the start of the Second World War, including the fact that peace was not always perfect, the Great Depression, and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which Russia and Germany divided Europe into spheres of influence.
- By September 1939, without any declared war, Germany had invaded Poland.
- The German army quickly occupied most of Poland within three weeks.
- Soviet troops entered Poland from the east and occupied Warsaw by the end of October.
- By the end of 1940, the war in Europe was won by the Soviet Union, which had occupied 10% of Finland.
- In the same year, Germany launched military operations to invade Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, in order to gain access to their naval and air bases.
- Norway received help from the British, and German airpower won victories over France.
- King Haakon VII of Norway fled to Britain.
- By the end of 1940, the demands made by Hitler in his second dictat had been rejected by Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, and negotiations had failed.
