World War II

Hi, I'm going to talk to you about how the World War II started and how we get in the war and we have some bad times too and fight it like how we fought Europe and Asia. I hope that this doesn't get boring.

First we will go to how the war started. It all began by Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo wanted to take over the world and have control. Then on September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Earlier that year France and England signed a treaty with Poland. The two countries said that they will protect Poland in case it got attacked. When Germany attacked after that they said we want war. That is how France and England became allies and Germany became axis.

Now we are going to tell you how we got in the war. We are not axis cause we never attacked. We were more looking at Japan taking over Asia. When Japan took over French Indochina we stopped the trade with Japan! When we stopped trading with Japan was hurt. Japan needed oil! Some Japan leaders wanted to make peace but, some wanted to get America in some way. On Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese planes bombed US near the Pearl Harbor. We fought Asia and Europe. This is how it became it came that America was trying really bad about winning this war and we didn't want to lose so this is how it came out. Our American bombers weakened Germany by destroying their supplies.

In September 1943, the Italy government surrendered the allies so now we have less power. I can't tell you the rest but to tell who won. WE DID!
