Parti: Dark Clouds Form Over Europe I
1
The War That Didn t End All Wars
3
The Great War was not the end of all wars, but a stimulus
to an even wider war, with Germany trying to avenge the
humiliation of Versailles.
2
The Little Artist Seeks a Bigger Canvas
13
All Adolf Hitler wanted was to be an artist, but instead
he became the most demonic tyrant of this, or perhaps any,
century.
3
The Bell Tolls for War
25
Germany, Italy, and Japan all build war machines and
look to build empires while Spain dissolves into civil war.
4
Peace in Whose Time?
35
Hitler begins to threaten his neighbors, and the appease¬
ment of Munich
f
ails to satisfy his appetite for con¬
quest. Germany unites with Austria and overruns
Czechoslovakia while the Allies watch.
fórt

Blitzkrieg
«
5
Goose-Stepping Across Europe
47
The German Blitzkrieg overwhelms Poland, forcing
Britain and France to realize that war is the only way
to stop Hitler.
6
The Not So Phony War
57
German U-boats wreak havoc on shipping in the Atlantic
while German land forces march through the Low
Countries and take France. The Allied evacuation of
Dunkirk saves their troops to fight another day.
7
PuttinOn the Brits
71
Germany blitzes England in preparation for an invasion.
The United States takes a step closer to joining the fight by
providing massive amounts of aid to Britain.
8
America Inches Closer to the Spreading War

The United States begins to re-arm and offers Lend-Lease
to the besieged British. Hitlers troops, meanwhile, overrun

winning the war in Europe. The United States begins to
fight in North Africa while Britain bombs Germany. The
Russians holdfast and blunt the German offensive in the
East.
13
America at War

The United States mobilizes all of its resources for war,
especially women. Journalists reports are censored, but still
capture the essence of the war, while Hollywood glorifies it.
ParU: Allies Kick Axis
167
14
The Axis Goes in Reverse
169
The Allies demand unconditional surrender and win the

Germany. U.S. forces begin to recapture Pacific islands, but

25

The human, economic, and psychological cost of the war
is staggering; the United States provides aid to fuel the
recovery of Japan and Western Europe. The Soviet Union
erects the Iron Curtain, and the Cold War and nuclear
arms race begin. The United Nations is created to resolve
disputes without bloodshed.
