    The second World War The beginning of the war
    After the outbreak of the war in 1939 Britain ordered  the evacuation of people
    from the towns
    - The release of many patiences in order to free hospital beds
    - The storage of national gallery’s paintings in north Wales
    - The organization of the underground stations as shelters, during the bombings
    Meanwhile the British troops went in help of France.
    The following year Hitler firstly invaded Norway and Denmark, and then also
    Holland and Belgium. In Britain Chamberlain resigned and Winston Churchill
    become Prime Minister.
    His first move was to retreat all of their troops to Dunkirk, where they were lifted
    by Royal navy ships and private boats whose oweners volounteered to bring back
    'the boys'.
     In East,  Japan invaded Hong Kong and Myanmar,  despite Churchill’s continue
    appeals for help America continue to avoid thei entrance in War.
     
    Operation Sea Lion
    Hitler plan for the invasion of BritainIs was called operaion Sea Lion. The
    German Air Force kept busy the Britain defense while the navy could invade by
    sea. The battle was won by Britain but however Hitler changed his strategy and
    ordered the Blitz,  which was the bombing of the civilians, in London and other
    cities.  When  King George VI and his wife Elizabeth refused to leave the city and
    stayd in Buckingham Palace, they become the symbol of the resistance.
     
    Operation Barbarossa
    In 1941 German advanced, and the British army was forced to retreat. In June
    Hitler declared war to the URSS to get the Caucasian’s oilfields, this move is
    known as Operation Barbarossa. The largest operation in history, but it completly
    consume all of Germany's resources for the rest of the war.
     
    America joined war
    When in 1941 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, a US fleet in Hawaii, president
    Roosevelt couldn’t wait anymore and declared war to Japan. At this point,
    Gerany, that was an ally of Japan, declared war to America.  In the battle of
    Midway East the Japanese aircraft carriers were sank by the US fleet. Us army
    also managed to defeate Rommel in Egypt, saving it from the fall.
    In 1943 the allies landed in Sicily, starting the  fight  in Italian territory; in the
    same year germans were stopped by the Soviet in the battle of Stalingrad.
    At this point the war balance was turning in favor of the allies which in 1944
    managed to enter in Rome.
     
    Operation overlord
    In 1944 the  greates amphibious  force in history  arrived in Normandy, on the so
    called D-Day; the germans  tried to counter-attack in the battle of Bulge, but the
    allies defeated them.
     
    The end of the war
    In 1944 in the east front the Soviet army was advancing and freed Poland,
    Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Austria: The following years Hitler
    committed suicide and Berlin fell.
    So at the end of the war Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin decided the destiny of the
    post war world. But while in Europe the war ended in May, Japan continued
    fighting for three months, the victory of the allies  came with the explosion of the
    two atomics bomb realeased over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
