World war 2

By Daniel Carleton

A little introduction.

• After the first of the 2 world wars, Germany was treated very badly.

• Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933.

• He was enraged because of the humiliation brought to Germany.

This means War!

• Hitler decided he wanted to take over Poland. Britain and France were not happy and declared war on Germany.

• So just like that the war began!

BLITZKRIEG

• Blitzkrieg means Lightning War.

• It is a German tactic.• Planes would bomb the

battlefield and tanks would finish off the job.

• It won battles at lightning speed!

Concentration camps

• In Germany, anybody who Hitler didn’t approve of was sent to a concentration camp.

• These were pretty much houses of death as millions died there, most of which were Jews.

• They closed after the war (thank goodness).

Somebody save me!

The emergency

• Ireland and a handful of other countries were Neutral during the war.

• WW2 was known as the emergency in Ireland.

• It was called this because a state of emergency was declared when the war started.

Neville Chamberlain

• Neville Chamberlain was Prime minister of England when the war began, however, Winston Churchill took over soon afterwards.

The End of the 2nd World War

• On May 7th 1945, Germany surrendered. However, it wasn’t until August 15th that the war finished because Japan only surrendered then.

• Over all a massive 60 to 85 million people died in ww2!
