World War 2

World War 2 was September 1, 1939-September 2, 1945. World War 2 started when Germany attacked Poland. The United States joined the war in 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. They declared war on Japan. Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. The Axis Powers were Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. The Allied Powers are U.S, Britain, France, Soviet Union, Australia, Belgium, and Brazil. Adolf Hitler was the main cause because he invaded the majority of the countries in Europe. Adolf Hitler did not want Jews on the face of the earth. In our book group book, Number the Stars, it is hard for Annemarie to live in Denmark because of the racism that is going on. Annemarie's best friend Ellen is a Jew. That is why World War 2 was a hard time.
