World War 2
In the 20th century there were two 'world wars'. Many countries were affected
by the wars.
• The first war lasted from 1914 to 1918.
• Though it was fought mostly in Europe, people called it the First World War
(World War 1).
• The Second World War (World War 2) lasted from 1939 to 1945. • It was
fought in Europe, in Russia, North Africa and in Asia.
• 60 million people died in World War 2. About 40 million were civilians.
Children as well as adults were affected by the war
Who fought In ww2
• World War 2 was fought between two groups of countries. On one side were
the AXIS Powers, including Germany, Italy and Japan.
• On the other side were the Allies. They New included
britain,France,Australia,Canada,New Zealand,India,the soviet Union, china and
the United States of America
• Germany was ruled by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Hitler wanted Germany
to control Europe.
• Japan wanted to control Asia and the Pacific. In 1937 Japan attacked China.
• 'In 1939 Germany invaded Poland. This is how World War 2 began.
• Some countries did not join the war, but Sweden and Switzerland were
neutral.
The War spreads
Britain and France went to war with Germany in September 1939.They wanted
to help Poland after it was invaded, but they were too late.
• Poland was occupied by the Nazis. By the summer of 1940 they had
conquered Holland, Belgium, France, Denmark and Norway. Enemy planes
dropped bombs on cities in Britain. Allied ships were sunk by submarines.
• In July 1940,German planes started bombing British coastal towns,defences
and ships in english channel in order to gain control of the south of England. By
mid-September 1940, after many battles, Germany postponed their planned
land invasion of Britain as the RAF effectively fought off the German Luftwaffe.
This period is known as The Battle of Britain.
• Commonwealth nations, such as Canada and Australia, helped Britain. In
1941 the Soviet Union (Russia, was attacked by Germany. In 1941 America
also joined the war, after Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl
Harbor in Hawaii. Use the timeline to find the important events and battles of
the war.
How did the war end
By 1943 the Allies were winning. One reason was that Allied factories were
building thousands of tanks, ships and planes. In 1944, a huge Allied army
crossed from Britain to liberate (free) France. Then Allied armies invaded
Germany.
• By May 1945 the war in Europe was over.
• The Pacific war went on until August 1945. There was fierce fighting on Pacific
islands and big naval battles at sea.
• Finally, the Allies dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. The damage was so terrible that Japan surrendered. World War
2 had ended.
The Holocaust
In 1945 Allied troops freed prisoners from Nazi concentration camps. In these
camps, millions of Jews and other prisoners had been killed or had died from
hunger, disease and cruelty.
• This terrible war crime became known as the Holocaust. It's thought 6 million
Jews were killed. Among the victims were many children.One young girl left a
diarry of her life in hiding before she was capture.Her name was Anne Frank.
She died, aged 15, in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen prison camp
Evacuation
People expected cities to be bombed, as enemy planes tried to destroy
factories. But bombs would hit homes and schools too, so children would be in
danger.
• The government tried at the start of the war to 'empty the cities' of children
and mothers, This was 'evacuation', to protect them from air raids.
• The plan was put into action in September 1939. About 800,000 children left
their homes. However, many returned home after a few weeks. Others stayed in
the countryside for the rest of the war.
• Everyone was asked to help win the war, by making extra efforts and working
harder on the 'home front'. Children saved pennies, collected scrap metal and
food waste, and knitted woolly hats for soldiers and refugees. BBC Children's
Hour ran a scrap-collecting competition. The winners collected 9 tons of scrap.
• With so many men away in the Forces, millions of women worked in factories,
on buses and trains, and in hospitals and Women A Land AS00 work on firms.
By 1942, 400,000 British women were serving in the army, navy and air force.
Women pilots flew planes from factories to RAF bases.
