Europe on the Brink of War In 1934, Adolph Hitler announced a
program of rearming Germany which was a violation of the Treaty of Versailles.
In Italy, Benito Mussolini was also building a powerful military force.
Many American adults belonged to peace organizations and were determined never again to enter a foreign war.

• World War II, or the Second World War, was a worldwide conflict which lasted from 1939 to 1945.
• World War II was the combination of two conflicts, one starting in Asia as the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the other beginning in Europe with the invasion of Poland.
• This global conflict split a majority of the world's nations into two opposing camps: the Allies and the Axis. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history.
• World War II was the most widespread war ever experienced, mobilizing over 100 million soldiers from 61 nations.
• As a result of World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as the world's two leading superpowers, dominating the world's stage for the next 40 years.

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Polish army expected the attack to come along the Polish frontiers, but Hitler introduced a new kind of war called a blitzkrieg, which means “lightning war.” Waves of German bombers targeted railroads, which crippled Polish military mobilization. Hundreds of tanks smashed through Polish defenses and rolled deep into the country. The Poles fought hard, but on September 17, the Soviet Union invaded their country from the east. By the end of the month, Poland had fallen.

The U.S. and Lend-Lease
Before 1941, the United States stayed out of World War II.
President Roosevelt worked out a deal called lend-lease, which allowed him to give weapons to any countries on the Allied side (including tanks, airplanes, and ships).
