I can tell you the bits that I know!. Part of the reason for WWII was the Treaty of Versailles and the way the lands were divided after WWI!. Hitler started early in the 30s spreading his venom!. It was the bombing of Pearl Harbor that got the US into the war in 1942!. Some of the battles were, Dunkirk, the beach at Anzio, battle of midway, Iwo Jima!. The turning point was when Hitler got so full of himself that he marched on the Russian front in winter!. That brought Russia into the war and won the war!. The consequence for that was Russia constructing the Berlin wall!.
Hitler intended to wipe out every Jew on the face of the earth, and every one else who was not of the Arian race!. Which is why I could never figure out how he convinced the Japanese to join him!.
I'm sure you will get more information from another answerer!. I hope this helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
