Overview of the War

World War II was a war between the Grand Alliance and the Axis.  Since Hitler already officially annulled the Treaty of Versailles, he used the strategy of Blitzkrieg on Denmark and Norway. Also, because of this invasion that Hitler has been doing, Mussolini came into the picture and declared war on France. On the other Britain has not yet been defeated. Ever since Winston Churchill took over seat of prime minister, Churchill was determined to guide Britain to an ultimate victory. While Churchill was thinking about this, Hitler comes in with the Luftwaffe and destroys the British air and naval bases, harbors, communication centers, and war industries. Because of this the British air force suffered critical losses. With Japan joining the Axis alliance, Japan decides to bomb Pearl Harbor with the unknown thought that no one would destroy US since it was isolated. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor, US declares war on Japan. US decides to enter the war creating the Grand Alliance with Britain and USSR. Also, the agreement between the Grand Alliance included the principle of unconditional surrender. The battle of Midway was the turning point of the war. During the last years of the war, the battle turned against Germany, Italy, and Japan. While the war continued on, US decides to launch their atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the main cities in Japan. Due to these atomic bombings, Japan surrenders unconditionally.
