and today we’re going to talk about World War II.

So, here at Crash Course we try to make history reasonably entertaining,

and fortunately, World War II was hilarious…

Is this, like, gonna be one of the unfunny ones where you build

to the big melodramatic conclusion about how I have to

as long as you have that eighth rate soup-strainer,

I’m not even going to acknowledge your existence.

so you’ve probably heard a lot about World War II from movies and books,

before it decided that Swamp People were History,

the incessant droning of your grandparents, etc.

We’re not gonna try to give you a detailed synopsis of the war today.

we’re going to try to give a bit of perspective on

how the most destructive war in human history happened,

So one of the reasons history classes tend to be really into wars

They start on one day and they end on another day.

And they’re caused by social, political, and economic conditions

that can be examined in a multiple choice kind of manner.

In September 1939, when the Nazis invaded Poland?

it actually started when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931,

or at the very latest when the Japanese invaded China in 1937,

because they didn’t stop fighting until 1945.

you could also argue 1933, when Hitler took power,

as exemplified by the infamous rape of Nanking,

which featured the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people

1. It affects relations between Japan & China

Even though I have not described it in detail, you can rest assured that

there will be angry comments about my use of the word “slaughter.”

But the World War II we know the most about from movies and TV is

primarily the war in the European theater,

Hitler is the rare individual who really did make history—-

and if he hadn’t existed, [read: if Evil Baby Orphanage did exist]

it’s very unlikely that World War II would’ve ever happened.

But he did exist, and after coming to power in 1933,

with the standard revolutionary promises to return the homeland to its former glory,

infused with quite a bit of paranoia and anti-Semitism,

it was characterized by a new style of combat made possible

by the mechanized technology of tanks, airplanes, and especially, trucks.

a devastating tactic combining quick movement of troops, tanks,

and massive use of air power to support infantry movements.

And in the very early years of the war, it was extremely effective.

The Nazis were able to roll over Poland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands,

all within about 9 months between the fall of 1939 and the summer of 1940.

So after knocking out most of central Europe,

the Nazis set their sights on Great Britain,

but they didn’t invaded the island, choosing instead to attack it

with massive air strikes. [Whovians will recall "The Empty Child"]

I mean, you look at this poster and think,

“Man, the queen wants me to finish my term paper, so I can do it”

but when this poster was first produced in 1939,

it was to quell terror in the face of bombardment.

The Battle of Britain was a duel between the Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe,

and while the RAF denied the Nazis total control of British airspace,

the Nazis were still able to bomb Great Britain over and over again

Meanwhile, Europeans were also fighting each other in North Africa.

The Desert campaigns started in 1940 and lasted through 1942—

“Monty” Montgomery outfoxed German general Irwin “the Desert Fox” Rommel.

It’s also the place where Americans first fought Nazis in large numbers.
