leadership role under, under war 2 and counteracting the german advances. franklin delano roosevelt. the 32nd you as president, led 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 cooperate 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 reg as one of the greatest 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 be da, he, indigo. she stood the 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 why i'll ask

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 fell to poland, had enthusiastically taken part in the robbery and destruction of the check. a slovak 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 was the only the amal editions. his seem to know. it's those things present. well, greg, you know it bizarre, processed you explore like if consciously a put on possible you for your ski horse contractual, like you know for sure. because she cheer westcott,

unifor you. judy daughter. jim sama washington, rudolf war gilbert school. so you have the calisha, missouri. sama boom. shasta, what has dual good about blood dornbush flowing? you yourself cool, blushed the soviet ortho was in a thank ignored events took their courses. if soviet russia didn't exist for that a heavy price would soon be paid. and munich, britain and germany signed a mutual non aggression pact that was the culmination of the policy to appease hitler. i have brought you piece by minister chamberlain proudly tell the british people on his return from munich churchill reply we have sustained a total, unmitigated defeat. those other features,

which marked an improvident stewardship for which great britain and france have dearly to pay churchill beak realised on. and he was alone in the british leadership that this policy of what's called appeasement in our encouraging hitler. ah, had been a big mistake with oh, need to come to the russians state little narrative. i've stivers, i'm phoning the northland fiend div, asking him the american house all sons and up for a group in the 55 we did. okay, so mine is professional speaking when else calls with we

will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and school r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with the question, did you think even close to chat with me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

me. it was clear to churchill, the re drawing 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 false chamberlain at gunpoint, france, england have concluded the 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. the surgeon trying to rally the west, make a span 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 saw b as will proposed an alliance. but britain and france against hitler. it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 19 thirty's bun. peter couldn't ache, writer and professor of history at the american university in washington dc. analyze is the balance of power that developed in pre war europe, a kind of stuff hitler, we could prevent a world foretell because hitler was way and knew he would wait. and he was bluffing, and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at 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 bitten off hitler. freedom of action in the east. for britain to survive, russia had to be sacrificed. churchill of jenks. if there instance, mister chamberlain on receipt of the russian offer had replied, yes, let us 3 band together and drink hitler's neck. history might have on a different way. ah 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 suit ski, hitler, packed between poland and germany aside. 1935. the naval agreement between britain, a germany is concluded. 1978. 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. the soviet commerce of foreign affairs, molotov, and german foreign minister, reuben trop. sign or non aggression pact the pac made it impossible for nazi germany to form alliances with other states. studies of it on

his show for him, then dashed chambray. and on that day should these are foster esthetician masons or to them. he knew by action, england on franklin dusk, i've been nas entry did tuition the inc, i'm from chrysler dodge fund. so by $40.00 an hour on with 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. soviet union did not want to be caught fighting a 2 front war war with japan and 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 with the saudi 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 pill such k, hitler packed along with germany, poland plan to attack 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. lucia, europe 4, should get good league from last week. a chronic dwaa if one. yeah. and you close to that path than you before. you put them on, i will are up, so would be food for shipped off without order. oh, good, good. the cool, darcy and you, would you to work a movie, scoring your wife? did it order? asked the crushed polish government please. to england. poland ceases to exist as

a state school in german occupy poland. the most hideous form of terrorism prevails. more than 15000 intellectual leaders are shot. $300.00 in one place at another. a group of drunken german offices are said to have shot 70 hostages. 130 thanks, 12 or 13 year old boys are butchered and just 3 weeks later, stone incense, his army into po, which is lost sovereignty. ah, 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. that mallet of

revenue 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 lemon grad as well. hitler had already declared that he was going to kill all the inhabitants of leningrad and destroy the city and give it to finland. the finish leader marshall mannheim was a 100 percent and 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 frozen the americans remain neutral,

which rose about later regretted because he understood this was the time to stop the nazis. and they said, the fascist forces lay the 10th 1940 german troops invade france. and in just a month hitler enters paris. most of the country is occupied and the french army is no more less i with scorsese up by the near france. a boa. holden could be to lesser for of my chola, but in cpr, isn't that you nor your jet prestige scripts? don't often in his work doctor, historical sciences, alexi is i have a sense is the events of world war 2 here. let's go say you was a if the bush timor, blair, mimi of linda shy war for poor shane. you were special moisture cross. not a mere pesky. so you can use nice show so that it's and you have to reward them but

you most or was more of a pretty social to read? you know we're sure plethora guilt. ah, with these appeasement policy in tatters. prime minister chamberlain, he's forced to attend to his resignation. on may, the 10th 1940. the day germany invades france. winston churchill becomes the new partition. prime minister. i have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. you replaced chamberlain, because as it is well known, chamberlain did not want a war with germany. churchill, it appears was at a very different view. he never wavered from one thing 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 1940 a little which is massive area. take some good. you cities the next night 80. but he's yet across attack the or ah, enriches with us operation blitz. last almost 8 months. many. but if he suffer, catastrophic destruction

to chill chill, 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. le churchill asked roosevelt for help. roosevelt had no affection for churchill. he had no trust of the british. in 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 the line with the british. atlanta assist agenda ah,

the united states war is rule with businesses business in return for help. and in exchange, buffalo global one destroys 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 pays the united states for and a half $1000000.00 in cash. a huge amount of money at the time. when roosevelt down to the u. k. his ability to pay, he sends a cruise at the cape town where $50000000.00 pounds of buddies, gold reserves are stored. in desperation, chance you'll rise to roosevelt in the midst of war, great britain,

this close to bankruptcy. roosevelt seized no benefits in britain's defeat. after which the u. s. would run the risk of facing war to double cri, doman. liam leaves a dose, marketable displacement. pretty bad. show what offering you are in the jeff, nicky, national congress share on blackberry is not the criminal lawyer still cargo. sasha . the guardian don't remove this block now i beg to slum to one foot to show swayed dome, the little dice backup heartbreaking from our sh. however, lindley supplies are immediately entangled in financial obligations. dustin, your bully sports on natasha per year was what i should say. there will show up watching store halleck war mushroom girls am now, but i knew it pretty the local up. so you're growing young. this is jimmy mom when i would show seemed wrong when i'll prove

just don't hold me. you will have to say proud disdain. because the advocate an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. a miss churchill, his 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. the

interest with john chil will install in of an impending attack on the u. s. s. huh. in the face of great danger, he seeks an alliance with russia. starling doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. with at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia suddenly with our declaration of war without even an ultimatum, the german bomb rain down from the.
