World war 2

fact’s about World war 2.

The First shot was fired 20 year’s 9 months 19 days 18 hours after the last shot of world war 1.It was shot by the German’s in Poland. At 4:30am on September 1st 1939 A German Cruiser moved down the port canal and fired at blank range the order had been given to the German’s to fire and this was the beginning of World War 2. 14 men were killed and 53 were wounded. The reason behind Germany starting World war 2 apart from the obvious that Hitler was evil was because Germany had actually played a big part in world war 1 and it’s beginning’s. So Germany had loads of sanctions against them such as No big armies. The German’s suffered a lot from the sanctions and the country was suffering from hunger unemployment etc. Of course this was a perfect time for Hitler to rally the German’s and his scapegoat was the Jew’s. Every problem Germany had was blamed upon the Jew’s. When Hitler and the German’s declared war on Poland. England and France declared war on the German’s for breaking the treat of Versailles. Hitler spread his hatred of Jews across Europe firstly making them second class citizens they were not allowed to go to the movies, Ride a bus, go to the same school as other children, They had to war the star of David on them so everyone would know they were Jews, They suffered in just about every aspect of life. But it gets worse Hitler then set up concentration camp’s where he gassed million’s of Jews, starved them to death, or let them die of disease. Before the end of the war 6 million Jews would be wiped of the face of the earth. 61 countries would be pulled into the war. 1.7 billion people 2/rd's of planet earth’s population. 50million people would die. America was pulled into the war when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour. World war 2 became one of the most expensive war’s the world has ever fought it also had massive loss of life. Most of Europe lay in rubble by the time it was finished. Japan had 2 bomb’s dropped from the sky courtesy of the United state’s which caused massive death and damage. Loads of people were injured and scarred without limb’s. Full Jewish families’s were wiped out never to be found again never to be given a Jewish burial. Thousands upon thousands of solders were never returned home and were buried all around Europe. Massive fields have been dedicated to the solider’s. And Hitler when the Allie’s were closing in got a gun to his head and a cyanide pill in his mouth and committed suicide.
