18.1
Throughout the 1930s, the rulers
of Germany, Italy, and Japan were
preparing to build new empires. After
the horrors of World War I, the leaders
of Britain, France, and the United

>> Germany rebuilt its military during the


1930s in defiance of the Treaty of Versailles.
Here, troops stand at attention during a Nazi

posed by Japan. Japanese military leaders and ultranationalists
thought that Japan should have an empire equal to those of the Western
powers. In pursuit of this goal, Japan seized the Chinese province
of Manchuria in 1931. When the League of Nations condemned the
aggression, Japan simply withdrew from the organization.
Japan’s easy success strengthened the militarist faction in Japan.
In 1937, Japanese armies overran much of eastern China, starting

against the Allies, which eventually
included Britain, France, the Soviet

with its defensive trenches, the new

World War II  18.2 Axis Powers Advance


18.3
Hitler came to power in the
midst of the Great Depression,
promising to end reparations, create
jobs, and defy the hated Versailles
treaty by rearming Germany. Hitler

Nazis imposed other restrictions that forced Jews from their jobs and
Holocaust homes and embarked on escalating violence and terror against Jews.
Auschwitz Schools and the Hitler Youth Movement taught children that Jews
were “polluting” German society and culture.
Anti-Semitic propaganda triggered one of the most violent early
attacks on Jews. In November 1938, Nazi-led mobs smashed windows,
looted, and destroyed Jewish homes, businesses, and places of
worship. This wave of violence in Germany and Austria became
known as Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass.

Nazi Concentration Camps After gaining power in 1933, the


Nazis began rounding up political opponents and placing them in
concentration camps, detention centers for civilians who were
considered enemies of the state. Before long, they were sending Jews,
communists, and others they despised to these camps. By 1934,

By early spring 1945, the war
in Europe was nearing its end. That
April, the Allies lost a key leader,
Franklin Roosevelt. Though he did not
live to see the final victory, he knew
the defeat of the Nazis was inevitable.

>> The Allied strategy in Europe was to


encircle Germany, advancing from the south,
west, and east. Here, Soviet and American
soldiers meet at the Elbe River in eastern
Germany.

its allies had to fight on several fronts simultaneously. Hitler insisted on
making major military decisions himself and some proved disastrous,
especially the invasion of the Soviet Union. He underestimated the
ability of the Soviet Union to fight in defense of their land.
