Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1!. The treaty of versailles which ended ww1 was very harsh on Germany!. Hitler came to power and wanted to bring Germany out of the despair they were in - lost the war, had to pay debts to france, england, had to keep a small army, had to give up territory etc!. he used the jews as a scapegoat and started his plan of mass murder and genocide, as well as gaining more territory for his perfect aryan race to rule the world!.
2!. technically when Germany invaded Poland in september in 1939 taht was the official beginning, the end was 1945 when the Japanese surrendered to the US after the 2nd atomic bomb was dropped
3!. all of europe was involved whether they wanted to be or not, as well as other Italy, Japan and Germany were the axis powers, France (mostly destroyed and overtaken by Nazis) Great Britain (including canada, australia, new zealand), the US, and Russia were on the allied powers
4!. hitler was in power through a series of elections and he was being appeased by churchill of england, and others thinking if he got what he wanted ie an army, ie pieces of czechoslovakia etc!. that he would stop, in germany and Poland to start with jews were forced to quit jobs, wear stars (not just jews - disabled, gay, gypsies!. etc were also persecuted) and they were deported to ghettos and eventually work camps where many were killed, experimented on medically, starved or otherwise treated poorly
5!. occupied means another country in this case nazi germany regulates your life, there were curfews, things you could and could not do, laws about speaking against Germany, you would likely be killed,
6- Poland, France, the Netherlands, belgium, parts of Russia, czechoslovakia
7!. the resistance was widespread, christians, jews etc the like - some of it was underground newspapers, or stealing fromt he nazis, aiding allied planes that had crashed, hiding jewish people or other the nazis wanted to kill or deport, giving them fake documentation, smuggling them out of a country, the resistance saved many lives
8!. Hilter felt the jewish people had caused Germany to lose the war, he felt they were destroying the human race, his country etc!. he felt that way because he was evil, not right in the head, etc!. many different theories but mainly he was power hungry and anti semitism was rampant and easy for people to follow a leader who felt that way
9!. many jews died, estimate is over 6 million, entire towns were wiped out, its called teh Holocaust!. but many survived to tell their stories
10!. russia and the US met in germany and overtook the reichstag, hitler committed suicide, then the Pacific theater was still going on and only ended as the US dropped 2 bombs on Japan devastating them
