After analyzing the rise of Hitler and the onset of war in Europe, we now transition to analyzing the early course of WWII and why the US ultimately gets involved.  Be sure to understand the following questions:

1.      Describe the course of the War in 1939 and 40 immediately after Great Britain and France declare war.

2.      How were the British able to hold the line against the Germans in the Battle of Britain in 1940?

3.      Describe the relations between the Russians and the Germans in the late 1930’s.  How do those relations change?

4.  In what ways did America prepare for war in 39-40?

5.  What problems were the Japanese creating in the 1930’s?

6.  Why did the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor?
