✓ Hitler-Stalin Nonaggression Pact; 10-year peace treaty; Russia can keep

1/3 of Poland when Hitler attacks it. Fell apart in June 1941, when Nazi

forces invaded the Soviet Union. Soviet leader Stalin viewed the pact

as a way to keep his nation on peaceful terms with Germany while

giving him time to build up the Soviet military. German chancellor Hitler

used the pact to make sure Germany was able to invade Poland

unopposed.

nation considered "vital to the defense of the U.S.". FDR wanted to help

somehow before US were involved in WW2. So he lent bombs and

artillery to Britain

Left Britain alone against Hitler, jarred America out of apathy. Only

Britain stood between Hitler and the death of European democracy.




The Battle of Britain


✓ An aerial battle fought in World War II in 1940 between the German

Luftwaffe (air force), which carried out extensive bombing in Britain,

and the British Royal Air Force. This was a significant turning point of

WWII, as Germany's Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the

Royal Air Force despite months of targeting Britain's air bases, military

posts and, ultimately, its civilian population. Britain's decisive victory

saved the country from a ground invasion and possible occupation by

German forces while proving that air power alone could be used to

win a major battle.

War in the Pacific

war with Japan in the Pacific due to the Pearl Harbor attack. Japan

was a serious threat, as losing Hawaii to them would be a huge loss of

one of the biggest US naval bases. It was a land and naval war (mostly

naval) which involved US troops hopping from island to island in the

Pacific, fighting off Japanese troops.




Battle of Coral Sea


✓ A battle between Japanese and American naval forces that stopped

the Japanese advance on Australia. Focused on each others' aircraft

carrier ships.
