WORLD WAR 2 Documentary (1930s - 1945) - A Complete Overview
21.10.2024 Video Credit #madeinhistory - The Full History of World War 2, goes through the entirety of the World War era starting with the rise of Fascism in 1920s Italy, until the end of the war in 1945! It is our double-length finale and serves as the seventh and final episode in our Late Modern megadocumentary, our look at history across the world from 1800 to 1945.
-
The video picks up where out World War I and the 1920s episode left off , and kicks off with the rise of the totalitarian regimes in Fascist Italy under Mussolini, Nazi Germany under Hitler, and the Stalinist USSR under Stalin. We also take a look at the Empire of Japan under Hirohito and the Spanish Civil War. We check out the initial moves of those who would form the basis of the Axis Powers as Italy invades Ethiopia, Japan invades China, and Hitler takes control of Austria and Czechoslovakia.
-
After the start of the war, we will check out the initial Axis victories, as Hitler expands across Europe, with a focus on the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain, Mussolini across the Mediterranean and North Africa, and Japan into Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hitler's next target is the USSR, and Operation Barbarossa is launched, the largest invasion force in history.
-
As the Axis forces seem insurmountable, we check out the domestic front in Nazi Germany, including its conquered territories in Poland and Eastern Europe, where ghettos, concentration camps and extermination camps were set up for Jews, Communists, and those deemed Untermensch (subhuman). We also take a look at Japan's conquests and their propaganda promoting the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, as well as the Stakhanovite movement in the USSR, and the entry of a new player to the war: the United States.
-
We then check out the series of turning points in the different theatres of war (El Alamein in North Africa, Stalingrad in Europe, Midway in the Pacific), that eventually led to the tide shifting against the Axis. The D-Day landings, the Battle of the Bulge, and the Battle of Berlin all marked the end of the war in Europe, while Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the use of a devastating new atomic bomb onHiroshima and Nagasaki, brought the end in the Pacific.
-
These are the strategic decisions, epic confrontations, and far-reaching consequences of the deadliest war in human history.
