World War II

The Axis side of World War II. In this essay I'm going to tell you about the Axis side of World War II. On the Axis side there was Germany, Italy, Japan. I'm going to tell you about them and their dictators. I'm also going to tell you about how this war was started .

After World War I Germany went back to their country. When they got there it was a disaster people didn't have any jobs, houses, or not enough food to eat. Well, they had a lot of problems. Then here comes Adolf Hitler came in and said the only reason why you've lost this war was because you have traitors in your own country. Those traitors are the Jews. Otherwise you really haven't lost this war. They just want you to believe that you have and you really did believe them. The people that you should hate are the Jews. Of course everyone believed Hitler and he was the real traitors not the Jews. The Germans thought Hitler was going to help their problems so he became the Dictator. Once most people agreed with him he invaded Poland, Australia, and Czechoslovakia. About a little earlier in that same year France and England signed a treated with Poland that if any attacks they will protect them. So that's how Germany , France , Poland , England, Australia, and Czechoslovakia got into World War II.

Italy had some of the same problems as Germany no jobs, no homes, everything was destroyed. Of course they only believed one man Benito Mussolini. Mussolini said he had the cure for all their problems. It was to have control of all businesses in the country. Mussolini was the general of Italy which meant he was a dictator too. Mussolini signed the treated called the Axis Pack in 1936 along with Germany and Japan. The Italians conquered Ethiopia and Albania. So that's what happened with Italy.

The Japanese leader General Hideki Tojo also signed the treated of the Axis Pack. Japan took over of the French Indochina. Then the United States took all trade from the Japanese. The Japanese got mad and attacked Pearl Harbor a naval base. When they bombed Pearl Harbor they killed a whole bunch of people from our country which made us mad. That's when we got involved in World War II. We made a bomb called the atomic bomb it was a nuclear bomb. Well, we decided to bomb the Japanese with it and that's when they surrender.

I hope you had a wonderful time reading my essay on World War II. I hope you learned a lot they, and Japan, and what they did to start this war.
