Event 2 – Violation of the Munich Pact • After the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Italy appeased Hitler, or let him keep the land to avoid an all out war, as long as he promised to stop at that point, Hitler violated the agreement. • Hitler pressured the Czech leaders to do things for Germany, but when they would not, Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia

The British tried to get them out of trouble, so they got any ships that they could get, and under great danger, escaped under fire from the Germans, with over 330,000 soldiers. • France saw that the Germans were going to take over, and so they moved their government to the south of France
Event 5 – The Battle of Britain • On June 22, 1940, France surrendered to Germany, and Hitler now controlled all of Europe besides Great Britain • Hitler then turned his attention to taking over Great Britain • What would be difficult about taking over the UK? • It is an island, so you have to take over by plane • The Germans launched Operation Sea Lion, where they would take the Luftwaffe (Germany’s air force), to attack the island, destroying mostly the cities. • What advantages did Great Britain have? • They had radar, so they could see where the German planes were • British had a copy of the Enigma, or a German code-making machine
