World War Two was a global game of domination over other nations. However, WWII did not begin as a global conflict. Spreading out from Eastern Europe, the war started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, and then by the Soviet Union. The two countries had agreed to the Molotov Ribbentrop non-aggression pact and divvied up and conquered many smaller East European states. Then, after several months of peace, Germany Blitzkrieged through Belgium and Luxembourg and into France. Britain had decided to aid France and was brutally defeated at the Battle of Dunkirk. Once France had been softened up by the Nazis, Mussolini moved in and claimed a chunk of France for himself. Germany decided that the only way to conquer Britain was a series of bombing raids. The next six months of the war took place above England in the battle of Britain with the UK’s RAF versus the Nazi Luftwaffe.  Meanwhile, FDR, the president of the US was busy provoking everyone so that he could get the US involved in WWII, hopefully with the Germans. He stationed the Pacific fleet headquarters in the Philippines, right on Japan’s doorstep, and the navy was posted in Hawaii. Eventually, the Japanese took the bait and bombed the crud out of Pearl Harbor. The US and Japan were now at war with each other. Due to FDR’s lack of intelligence, he had gotten the wrong country to initiate war. Luckily, Hitler came to his rescue by declaring war upon the US in an equally brainless move. Hitler’s plans did not stop with involving the US in WWII. In a move to prepare for an invasion of the Soviet Union, which would break their 1939 non-aggression pact, Germany conquered Yugoslavia. The massacre of innocents was truly atrocious. In a terrible game of worldwide conquest, many nations fought to subjugate their neighbors.
