you have to say that they were tremendous. social welfare benefits were provided to the soviet population of medical care, education, living standards, new professor grove, a 3rd, ph. d, at volunteer state university in new jersey, is well known for his work on soviet history and politics. he was a major political figure, certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century. but at 1st the allies treat uncle joe as style in his referred to in the west with arrogance. the soviet leda was from a low social background and had been through prisons and exile. stalin rose from the lowest of the ranks. he in fact named himself, stalin, which means man of steel. scott bennet, the counter terrorism specialist, and former

u. s. army analyst is well versed in the complex history of us soviet cooperation and the 2nd world war years. you have stolid rise up and quite an effective leadership role under, under war 2 and counteracting the german advances. franklin delano roosevelt. the 32nd you as president lead the country from 1933. to 1945. franklin roosevelt came from an extraordinarily wealthy family of very high elite socialite family, dating back to the 1600s. the roosevelt family. the delano family were old money that had built their fortunes in merchant ah, ship building other trades. roosevelt was a pragmatist. and when it suited american interests was prepared to co operate with the soviet union, it was under his rule that you're

a soviet diplomatic relations were established in 1933. franklin delano roosevelt is recognized by many in the american historical and academic and political ranks as one of the greatest of for term presidents in history. the only president to ever 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 bis donahue, indigo. she stood a man 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 hint, i guess sheesh to the main check does i enjoy has been place in creek thing dodge fund. please stop madge dunbar endangered for she does a shaft employee dish or no one hash tag smiley guy as as rom no. yes she thought jordan ispa painter chapter ah officially world war 2 began when german troops the tank. poland on september the 1st 1939 with shaping the world and 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. poland and hungary took part in the partition of czechoslovakia. some in europe felt that poland had enthusiastically taken part in the roguery and destruction of the czechoslovakia, stays us, 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 with the only the politicians his seem to know is truth seems pretty well, greg, you would drop off su,

4 work if don't justly put your boss. you defend your ski horse contractual, like, you know, for sure goes, she cheer west coach, unifor you. judy daughter, jim sama washington. rudolf war. your british school say years ago, daniel missouri. saba boom. just to what i still cared about. bullet dornbush chloe gentle's school boost 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 combination of the policy to appease hitler. ah, i have brought you peace. prime minister chamberlain proudly tell the british people on his return from munich

church hills reply we have sustained a total on unmitigated defeat. those are the features which marked and in providence stewardship, for which great britain and france have dearly to pay churchill beak realised on. and he was that alone in the british leadership that this policy of what's called appeasement. you know, encouraging hitler. ah 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 into czechoslovakia,

but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1039 when the soviet proposed and elias, but britain and france against hitler. it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 19 thirty's from peter couldn't make russia and professor of history at the american university in washington, dc. analyze is the balance of power that developed in pre war europe because our staff had there, we could have prevent the world for sale because hitler was weak and knew he would wait. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was knocking his band up, that the west was hoping in many rural 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, britain 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, 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. 1933 germany, france,

britain and italy conclude the full power packed 1934. the bill so ski, hitler packed 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. ah, the soviet commissar for foreign affairs, molotov, and german foreign minister, reuben trump, signed a non aggression pact. the pack made it impossible for nazi germany to form alliances with other states. with these of it,

the youngest show 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 english from brown dodge fund. somebody quoted italian out on it. 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, wester, sorry, in the 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 planned to a tank the ussr. poland 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 4 should get good, you good traversed lacuna. well, it's funny and you crossed them up as the news be. so if we are to model our up, so this be food for shipped off with florida. oh, bullock agreed to cool burst through and you would if you were to pull these gordon your welski did its order. as the crushed polish government flees to england,

poland ceases to exist as a state in german occupy poland, the most hideous form of terrorism prevails. more than 15000 intellectual leaders are short, 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, a butchered and just 3 weeks later, stone incense, his army into poland, which is lost sovereignty. england, a bronze sympathized with the introduction of soviet troops. 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. that mallet

of ribbon truck packed ended up being a crucial factor in a soviet and ultimately an allied victory. if they hadn't had that extra 2 or 300 kilometers to travel, they might better well have occupied moscow. likewise, it's quite possible that, that it saved leningrad goes. the german armies were very close to lemons 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 american people not to get involved in the war, roosevelt passes the neutrality act. during this period, lila is clearly shows hostility to was the soviet union by the spring of 1940 all relations between the 2 countries of frozen the americans remain neutral,

which rose about later regretted because he understood this was the time to stop the nazis and the said the fascist forces lay the 10th 1940 german troops invade france, and in just a month hitler into his paris. most of the country is occupied and the french army is no moral. less i with scorsese by junior france a boa holden, duke could better now sir ford outfit of my cello, but in superior than that you, nor your gip prestige groups, none of them in his work, doctor of historical sciences, alexey is, i of essence is the events of world war 2, it less has course i you was a if the bullish g more am glare midland, the shy war for pushing you. bruce bustled. mr. ross, not a man. tiskus i was can you nice show so that it's due at the award there but you

most or was more than pretty social to regenerate? we're show a plethora dealership. ah, with these appeasement policy, entrance's 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, tears, and sweat. he replaced chamberlain because as if 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 are pursuing the war with germany. he didn't trust the germans. he didn't trust hitler,

he didn't like hitler august. the 13th 1949, which is massive area. take sandwiches, cities the next night, 80 british and crop attack. the key in written a us operation blitz last almost 8 months. many with this, if he suffer catastrophic destruction. churchill,

it is everywhere. a top piles of rubble left by and strikes in factories and hospitals. he gave speeches works on military plans. for his age, judging only 60 sakes, he himself would have rushed into the battle. mm. but england cannot withstand germany alone. churchill asked roosevelt for help. roosevelt had no affection for churchill. he had no trust of the british and fact saw the british has penetrating much of the united states. state department intelligence agencies, academic institutions, all to more or less influence the united states and government and academia to being much more in line with the british. atlanta assist agenda ah,

the united states things war is wall with businesses business in return for help. and in exchange, buffalo, global one destroy is the u. s. demands the right to use 8 british military bases in the atlantic. ah, we didn't receive anything from the u. s. that we didn't painful. in 1940 alone. 15 pays the united states for and a half $1000000.00 in cash, a huge amount of money at the time. when roosevelt danced the u. k, his ability to pay he sends a cruise at the cape town where 50000000 pounds of british gold reserves are stored . in desperation, chance you'll rise to roosevelt. in the midst of war,

great britain is close to bankruptcy. roosevelt seized no benefits in britain's defeat. after which the us would run the risk of facing war to double could moment liam leaves up, but at the smart federal display. pretty bad. sure. what offering you are in the jeff nikki here. must lotion of congress share on bill up or is not the criminal lawyer still cargo? sasha got him. don't we more display a budget to flunk sto wonderful fordham. in better days, parker part up picking from our sh. however, lindley supplies are immediately entangled in financial obligations. tustin, your bully, sports on the tours per year. our chefs appear wash up white a local up. so you're going, you're in this is jim. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation,

let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk in the united states has always had a variety of tools, news and tax on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about here. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country to. so we have a responsibility for the whole world,

and we need to make room for the rest. because without out there we can do for churches, goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world there, which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere, and to market, and to labor had 2 resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict of interest with john chil wound stolen of an impending attack on the ussr in the face of great danger. he seeks an alliance with russia.

stalin doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia suddenly, with our declaration of war, without even an algae made him. the german bomb rain down from the sky above the russians in russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the united state school. 2 days later us, president roosevelt also gives a speech supporting the ussr but there are other political forces
