Italy took over Albania in 1939. Italy also tried to invade France but they failed. However, Hitler rewarded Mussolini for trying to invade France, because he hated them. As the war kept on going the U.S couldn’t help Poland from getting invaded, because the U.S were not in the League Nations, and was not ally with anyone. As the War started to get bigger and bigger the United States stayed calm as they were required by the law. The U.S helped Britain though by giving them 50 to 60 destroyers, to fight the Germans, because they were scared that if the germans beat the british, they would also invade the U.S and fight against the U.S. So they stood with Britain against Germany to prevent that.

Many events lead up to World War II in Europe starting with the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was crippled by the repayment extremely large sums of money that they had to repay to after World War I. The government couldn’t function which left its economy shattered and people hungry. Adolf Hitler came into power because he presented hope to its people.

The Second World War began in September of 1939 and was between the Allies and the Axis.

Britain and France had promised military support to Poland if Germany invaded. Germany invaded Poland on September 1 and on September 3 Britain and France declared war, thus beginning World War II. 45-60 million people were killed during the six years at war, including 6 million Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps.
