sir. 4 terms, in fact, for his work in resuscitating the united states after an economic depression that occurred after the fall of the stock market in the 19 twenty's. the big 3 is how the allied 2nd world war leaders were known. they had different personalities, were from very different backgrounds and had opposing views, each defended their own peoples and ruling classes, interests that biz donahue. in that they shifted to men, chide krista, thank up as non east in his books and on lot. so who has a ph d in history? so really analyzes the events of world war 2 as well. i'll ask mildly, hinder, the shift to the main check dash i enjoy has been miss him

creek thing dodge fund. so he has stopped message dunbar in denton for she that i visit shuffling and wanted to talk. no one hush has smiley guy as i swam, nor yes, she thought she'll warden, his pap heiner chapter ah, officially world war 2 began when german troops attacked poland on september the 1st 1939 with re shaping the world. started long before that. 938. austrian unsure this. the invasion of czechoslovakia and its partition by germany, poland, and hungary, czechoslovakia his allies, great britain and france,

are accused of betraying it for the sake of peace with nazi germany. and poland and hungary took part in the partition of czechoslovakia. some in europe fell to poland, had enthusiastically taken part in the roguery and destruction of the check. a slovak state u. s. president roosevelt had no objection to either the austrian angeles or the partition of czechoslovakia. the united states had no desire to interfere in europe's conflict. the world was sliding into a major war. but churchill and stolen was the only the amal editions. his seem to know. it's those things present. well, greg, you know, it does up off su, 4 work. if don't justly put your boss with your finger scores, contractual like, you know, for sure, because she choo, westcott unifor, you kiddy daughter, jim sama washington, rudolf war gilbert school. so years ago, delish, missouri,

saba boom, just to what i still good about. bullet dornbush slower. you general school bush. the soviet ortho was in a thanked, ignored events, took their courses. if soviet russia didn't exist for that, a heavy price would soon be paid in munich. britain and germany signed a mutual non aggression pact that was the culmination of the policy to appease hitler. ah, i have brought you peace. the prime minister chamberlain proudly tell the british people on his return from munich churchill reply. we have sustained a total, unmitigated defeat. ah those are the features which marked an improvident stewardship for which great britain and france have dearly to pay churchill

beak realised. and he was alone in the british leadership that this policy of what's called appeasement. you know, encouraging hitler had been a big mistake. ah ah ah

with ah, it was clear to churchill, the redrawing of european borders had begun. war was inevitable. but as he wasn't a cabinet minister, he couldn't change anything much later. churchill, right. those were the he is of my desolate solitude. the

situation in munich was also noticed in the united states. some often said that hitler must have food chain limit gunpoint, france, and england have concluded a shameful peace. march 1939. the soviet union had a proposal for the western countries to form an anti fascist block to counter hitler's intentions, dissolved and trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler in to czechoslovakia, but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1039. when the soviet proposed an alliance. but britain and france against hitler, it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 19 thirty's from peter couldn't acre russia and

professor of history at the american university in washington. d. c. analyze is the balance of power that developed in pre war europe because our staff had there, we could have prevent a world foretell it has hitler was weak and knew he would wait and he was bluffing . and assuming that the west was back in his band, up to him at the west, was hoping in many all elements in the west for hopefully that he was just going to go east. so in the thirty's, the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. negotiations between the ussr written and france to establish an anti fascist blog, reached an impasse because secret british german negotiations were taking place at the same time. in return for guaranteeing the integrity of the british empire, britain offered hitler. freedom of action in the east for britain to survive, to russia had to be sacrificed churchill objects. if for

instance, mister chamberlain, on receipt of the russian offer had replied, yes, let us 3 band together and break hitler's neck. history might have gone a different way. it was clear to starlin that the western powers were ignoring his proposals and could no longer be relied upon. and by 1939, almost all of europe had already signed agreements with hitler. 1973 germany, france, britain and italy conclude the full power packed 1934. the bill so ski hit to a pack between poland and germany aside. 1935. the naval agreement between britain and germany is concluded. 19 associate. britain,

france and italy agree to divide czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary. 1939 non aggression treaties assigned between germany, latvia, and estonia. august the 22nd 1939, moscow. mm. the soviet commerce of a foreign affairs mortgage of an german foreign minister, reuben trump, signed a non aggression pact. the pack made it impossible for nazi germany to fall alliances with other states with these of it the youngest. so for him, them thus chamberlain, on that day should these are fashion tissue masons as lam. he knew by baxon england on franklin dusk. i've been present it. question. the thing is i'm from brown dodge,

went to my father italian. our, i'm at the united states continued its policy of appeasing imperial japan. the americans held on to the hope that japan would re focus his attention on the ussr. the soviet union did not want to be caught fighting a 2 front war war with japan. and the east and also a war with germany in the west. and they knew that the germans were going to attack sooner or later. also, when the british and french refused to form an alliance against germany, went to sabina polish government, also refused. on january the 26th, 1934 in poland became the 1st european country to conclude unknown aggression treaty with germany. the pale such k, hitler packed along with germany, poland plan to attack the ussr holder and must not remain idle at this historic moment. the main goal is to weaken and crush

russia, but on september the 1st 1939, poland was attacked by germany militia, europe, for should got good. you good. last week. got cooney dwaa is one. yeah. and you brought up with the youth before you puerto mano out up. so this before, for shipped off with florida. oh, bullock agreed to cool garcia, and you would, if you were to move these corner, you're wealthy territory as the crushed polish government, fl to england. poland ceases to exist as a state in german occupy poland, the most hideous form of terrorism prevails. more than 15000 intellectually does a shot 300 in one place at another. a group of drunken german offices are said to have shot 70 hostages. 130 sinks,

12 or 13 year old boys are butchered on just 3 weeks later. stone incense, his army into poland, which is lost. sovereignty england, a bronze sympathize with the introduction of soviet truths it was vital for the soviet union to push the german army as far west as possible to buy time and gather forces from all corners of its colossal empire. the molotov reverend trog packed ended up being a crucial factor in a soviet and ultimately an allied victory. if i hadn't had that extra 2 or 300 kilometers to travel, they might rather well have occupied moscow. likewise,

it's quite possible that god, that it saved leningrad goes. the german armies were very close to lemond grad as well. hitler had already declared that he was gonna kill all the inhabitants of leningrad and destroy the city and give it to finland. the finish leader marshall mannheim was a 100 percent can shaver of that? meanwhile, honoring his promise to the american people not to get involved in the war, roosevelt passes the neutrality act. during this period, the one is clearly shows hostility towards the soviet union. by the spring of 1940 all relations between the 2 countries of the americans remain neutral, which rose without later regretted because he understood this was the time to stop the nazis. and the said, the fascist forces, blay, the 10th 1940 german troops invade france, and in just

a month hitler entered paris. most of the country is occupied and the french army is no moral less. so scorsese was up by junior france, a boa. holden could be 2 lesser financing of my chela, but in superior than that you, nor your jet prestige cups, none of them in his work, doctor of historical sciences, alexey is i have a sense, is the events of world war 2, it less has course i use a to bullish gym alum glare mimi of linda shy wolf, poor poor shane. you bruce puzzled. monsieur cross, not a mi tescos conyers nice shows so that it's do outdoor water but the most or was more than pretty social to regenerate. we've showed latoya deals. ah, with these appeasement policy in tatters, prime minister chamberlain is forced to attend to his resignation. on may,

the 10th 1940 the day germany invades france. winston churchill becomes the new british prime minister. i have nothing to offer but blood, toil tiers and sweat. you replace chamberlain because as it is well known, chamberlain did not want to war with germany. churchill, it appears was at a very different view. he never wavered from wanting and insisting on war or yoke, but shooting the war with germany. he didn't trust the germans. he didn't trust hitler. he didn't like hitler ah. august the 13th 1940 inches mess. if it takes sandwiches. cities
