The weak leadership in Britain and France was a significant factor leading to WWII. Chamberlain,especially,was focused on appeasing Hitler assuming it would stop him from taking over more territory. Fortunately Churchill replaced him and prevented Germany from taking over Great Britain. As the war progressed,Hitler's ego got the best of him and he made some very bad strategic and tactical decisions. If he had listened to his Generals,there is a chance that Germany might have won ,or at least prolonged,the war. Our current leaders should learn from the mistakes made in the late 1930s. You have to stand up to aggressors. Appeasement does not work and only leads to larger problems. Countries like China,Russia, and Iran will take advantage of weakness. It is the lesson of history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Not saying Chaimberlain was right, but he gets crapped on way more than I think he deserves. Appeasement wasn't working, but he WAS working to strengthen Britain's military in the meantime. Had he not done so then Britain wouldn't have been in much shape to fight.

I worked for a guy who had a grandma who was born in Germany in 1915. She told some terrible stories about trying to survive after WWI. She felt that Hitler was the best thing that happened for Germany in the 20th century because he took a totally destroyed Germany and made it great again. Anyone who spoke against Hitler was wrong and she wouldn’t believe any other thing. Unfortunately for her viewpoint her family left Germany and came to the US in 1926 so she never witnessed how Hitler totally destroyed the country again.

One of the atrocities committed by Japan on Chinese, Korean and Russian PoWs that most forget about is their infamous unit 731.

the most tragic part is knowing that for the chemical experiments, Shiro Ishii was inspired off of the Germans of ww1 since their and subsequently the allies' use of biological weapons invented a new Geneva convention rule and spread related trauma after the war, which, instead of dissuading, actually encouraged human monsters like Ishii, who spent his time researching these weapons for Japan's future use on other nations.

Very few major western movies were made about Japan invasions of Mongolia or mainland China. Japan had been engaged in invasions, expansions and atrocities in Asia for 10 years before they hit us at Pearl Harbor. They had already controlled Korea since 1910 but started getting pretty nasty in 1931. Oversimplified does a pretty good coverage of the American revolutionary war, civil war, and WWI. Good reaction.

The Nanjing Massacre or Rape of Nanjing beginning on December 13, 1937 lasted six weeks. Chinese soldiers were summarily executed in violation of the laws of war, and looting and rape was widespread. Death toll estimates over 300,000, with rape cases over 80,000. The massacre is considered to be one of the worst wartime atrocities in written history.

18:46 I seem to recall having heard of this event. I believe the British ships sank the entire French navy which had escaped from France to northern Africa to avoid falling into the hands of Germany, but the word of the French admiral wasn't good enough for the English, and Churchill wanted all the French ships sunk - ostensibly to make 100% sure they would never fall into the hands of Germany anyway (but maybe also to make sure France wouldn't be a competitor after the war?) - and in the end the British ended sinking all the French ships and murdering thousands of french sailors. This was a despicable, totally needless act of callous tactics and power-games. I'd call it a war-crime. With "allies" like these, who needs enemies?

So, France in the 1930s was divided politically, struggling economically and not paying attention to foreign threats. The French military made some half-hearted attempts to modernize, but it generally stuck to defensive planning and prepared to refight World War I. Convinced that it had the dominant military on the continent, France was disunited and unprepared. And if this seems to open up uncomfortable parallels with our own time, you are not alone.

You guys do realize that at this point in time even before every order every meeting or across all powers in the war were carefully written down in triplicate and saved for prosperity. That’s one of the reasons why after action report were so heavily emphasized asked. We have documentation about individuals actions in this war unlike any before it, we have the benefit of the written word from those who are actually they’re not only that but many of those we’re still alive when my generation was in highschool. To tell us about what they saw and did. Even then, so much has been written, publicized, and declassified that we pretty much know everything about World War II. It is the fault of the education system to not tell you these things. This is NOT about history written by the winner. This is about history being written by those who are actually there and still alive to tell us. It is our collective fault for not paying enough attention when we had the chance.

The reason the allies didn't invade Germany during the phoney war is simple : they couldn't. General mobilization in Britain and France took two weeks (which is normal) from the declaration of war, so by the time they were in position Hitler had already smashed Poland. Then Germany brought back its troops to the western front and enjoyed superiority in men and airplanes, and its own fortifications (the Siegfried Line) along the border, which made invasion highly impracticable. And unlike Hitler, the allied leaders didn't want to violate Belgian neutrality to go around these defences. So in the end they could only wait for the German offensive to come instead.
