Military Aggression
Military Aggression is a warlike act by one country against another without cause by the military.
Japan Attacks ChinaIn 1931, the Japanese army seized Manchuria. The Chinese were treated brutally. Over 250,000 civilians/prisoners of war were massacred.
German AggressionHitler vowed to create a powerful nation. So he raised forces and created an army that were called the Nazi’s. Which defied the Treaty of Versailles. He further defied it by sending troops to Western Germany; they remained idle until 1939.Slide3
Good Neighbor Policy As Germany invaded Poland, Americans strengthened ties with southern America. They declared that they no longer had the right to intervene with Latin affairs. FDR went even further by withdrawing the American troops from Nicaragua and Haiti.
War Begins in EuropeHitler and Stalin shocked the world by signing a nonaggressive agreement. Sixteen days after Germany invaded Poland, the USSR also invaded Poland.
In the early days of the war, Germany seemed unstoppable. They conquered country after country. Britain sent troops to help France.
The British and the French were quickly overpowered. By May of 1940, the Germans forced them to retreat to Dunkirk, a French port on the English Channel.Slide4
