During World War 2, Germany conducted bombing raids on England and other countries in an attempt to force their surrender. The bombing destroyed much of France and caused significant damage in England as well, though England did not surrender. To protect citizens from the bombings and toxic air, children and adults wore gas masks and blackout protocols were implemented at night to make cities less visible from the air and reduce casualties. Many women took jobs in factories to support the war effort by producing weapons and supplies.Berlin

Stalin blocked access to West Berlin in 1948, hoping to force the Western powers out. In response, the Western Allies conducted the Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by plane for almost a year until Stalin ended the blockade. This led to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 by East Germany to prevent emigration to West Berlin, which claimed the lives of over 200 victims over 28 years as they tried to escape over or under the fortified wall. Berlin became a hotbed for espionage during the Cold War as both Eastern and Western intelligence agencies tried to gain an advantage.Berlin Wall 1960's

The document summarizes the key events surrounding the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. It notes that following World War 2, Berlin was divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. By 1961, many East Germans were fleeing to the West for political and economic reasons, which embarrassed the USSR. In response, the Soviet leader Khrushchev demanded the withdrawal of Western troops from Berlin. When Kennedy refused, the East Germans, with Soviet backing, erected the Berlin Wall overnight on August 13th 1961 to stem the flow of refugees. The Wall separated friends and families and resulted in over 100 deaths of people trying to cross over the years until it eventually fell in 1989.Berlinwall

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to stop the flow of refugees fleeing to West Berlin. The city of Berlin had been divided into East and West sectors after World War 2, with West Berlin a prosperous area supported by the US within East Germany. Over 100,000 people fled from East to West each year in the late 1940s-1950s, seen as a "brain drain" by East Germany. In 1961, the Soviet-backed East German government constructed the Berlin Wall, encircling West Berlin to prevent further defections, despite protests from Western allies. The wall divided families and became a symbol of the Cold War, with 86 people dying trying to cross it before it fell in 1989.Berlinwall

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to stop the flow of refugees from East to West Berlin. The city of Berlin had been divided after World War 2 with West Berlin controlled by the US, UK, and France, and East Berlin controlled by the Soviet Union. Over 100,000 people fled East Germany for West Berlin each year due to economic hardship. The Berlin Wall closed access between the two halves of the city, trapping East Berliners. Its construction showed the failure of Khrushchev's demands that the Western powers withdraw from West Berlin and recognize East Germany. The wall divided families and became a symbol of the Cold War divide between democracy and communism in Europe.Coherence principle

The document discusses two key events leading up to World War 2 in Europe:
1) The 1938 Munich Agreement where Britain and France agreed to Germany annexing Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland in exchange for promises of peace from Hitler. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared it was "peace for our time".
2) The 1939 Nonaggression Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union where they secretly agreed to divide Poland between them, allowing Hitler to invade Poland on September 1 without fear of a two-front war.Fall of the berlin wall

The document summarizes the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. It provides context about the division of Germany after World War 2, with East Germany under Soviet control behind the Iron Curtain. As reforms under Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union led to more openness, opposition grew in East Germany, especially led by the Protestant church. Mass demonstrations in Leipzig and other cities pressured East Germany's leadership, resulting in the resignation of Erich Honecker in October 1989. Just a few weeks later on November 9th, the Berlin Wall was opened, signaling the end of the divided Germany and the Cold War.Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht Jonah Howard

Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, refers to a pogrom against Jews throughout Nazi Germany on November 9-10, 1938. It was prompted by the assassination of a German diplomat by a Jewish man. During the riots, Nazis attacked Jewish people, synagogues, homes and businesses. Over 1,000 synagogues were destroyed, 7,500 Jewish businesses were damaged and 91 Jews were killed. In the aftermath, Jews lost citizenship, 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and Jews faced further legal persecution and discrimination. Kristallnacht marked a major escalation of Nazi violence against Jews and is widely seen as the start of the Holocaust.Rise & Fall of The Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to stop the flow of citizens to West Berlin. It was constructed in stages, starting with a barbed wire fence and expanding to include concrete walls, guard towers, and a death strip between two walls. Over its existence, around 100-200 people were killed trying to escape by climbing the wall or through tunnels. The wall divided Germany until 1989 when Hungary opened its border and travel restrictions collapsed, ultimately leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989.The fall of berlin wall

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the reunification of East and West Germany after decades of division following World War II. The wall was originally constructed in 1961 by East Germany to prevent mass emigration to the west. Its fall was precipitated by growing civil unrest in East Germany and a miscommunication by an East German official that travel restrictions would be eased. Thousands of East Germans flooded checkpoints and began dismantling the wall. Germany was officially reunified on October 3, 1990, ending over 40 years of separation. Today, Germany is a powerful democratic nation and economic powerhouse.The Berlin Wall

Germany wanted to quickly defeat France at the beginning of World War 1 to avoid fighting on two fronts against France and Russia. Their plan, called the Schlieffen Plan, involved invading France through neutral Belgium and Luxembourg to outflank French defenses. In 1914, Germany invaded France as planned but the French and British were able to halt the German advance at the First Battle of the Marne, preventing a swift German victory and forcing Germany into a two-front war.25th Anniversary: Fall of the Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to stem the flow of refugees from East to West Berlin, which had reached nearly 2,000 per day. This mass exodus exposed the failure of East Germany's communist system and damaged its economy by loss of skilled workers. The Wall divided families and communities, and people died trying to cross it, but it succeeded in reducing refugee numbers dramatically. It came to symbolize the ideological and physical divisions of the Cold War world between communist East and capitalist West.Presentation1 (1)

The Spitfires were British fighter planes used in World War 2. They were designed for camouflage with a dark color, were very fast and easy to control, and could carry around 10 guns. Piloted by only 2 people, the Spitfires helped defend Britain against attacks from Hitler and German planes like the Messerschmitt during bombings in Britain. The Spitfires' guns were made of metal and exploded when fired at the ground from the planes piloted by soldiers.Number the stars

World War II was the largest war in human history, involving countries around the globe from 1939 to 1945. Over 70 million people were killed by the end of the war. The war was sparked by the aftermath of World War I and rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan led by Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo seeking to expand their territories.
