Causes of WWII
The 2 main reasons I think that
WWII started are the Treaty of
Versailles and Adolf Hitler
leading Germany.
The Treaty of Versailles started
WWII because of the terms
written in it. The Germans
thought the terms meant treason
and that was unfair. Then with
Hitler leading the Germans it did
not help at all. The German
government got mad and Hitler
convinced the Germans to build
an Army. Hitler used that army to
take over many places. Places
such as Denmark, Poland,

Describing the Events
Operation Torch
This operation cleared the Axis powers from improving marine control of the
Mediterranean Sea. It also helped make an invasion on Southern Europe.
Invasion of Sicily
This invasion started on July 9, 1943 and ended on August 17, 1943. The Allied
powers had planned to make the Axis land,air,and naval forces leave. Then
Sicily would be open to receive warfare. They did it all exactly as planned.
Operation Avalanche
This operation started when Winston Churchill wanted to invade Italy. So the
Allied powers made a plan. They would take over the Naples port, cut across to
the East Coast stopping the Axis powers further North.
Describing the Events Part 2
D-Day of Normandy- This event was the largest invasion by sea in all of
history. 175,000 of Allied soldiers invaded the beaches of Normandy and then
captured it. That allowed us (Allies) to be able to go into Germany.
Invasion of South France (a.k.a. Operation Dragoon)
The invasion of South France was where the 1st Airborne Task Force dropped
a parachute.Then the US 7th Army attacked causing Germans to flee from the
Allies.
When Germany surrenders
Finally Germany surrenders in Europe on May 7, 1945.
Conclusion of WWII
WWII ended when Japan surrendered to the Allied forces. Germany
had already surrendered to the Allies on May 7. We tried to get
Japan to do that also but they didn’t answer. But after a while,
Japan surrendered on August 15,1945. And on September 2,1945
Japan signed the surrender papers ending the war.
The Formation of the United Nations
The United Nations started on October 24, 1945. The United
Nations was created to stop another war. This actually replaced
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s League of Nations. The United Nations’
mission is to preserve world peace. And I believe they are doing an
awesome job.
Conclusion
Now we are finally at the end. This was a great
journey through history, don’t ya think? Well I
