When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, Britain and France declared war and hoped to end German aggression. But, within 2 years, Germany had attacked and occupied Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Yugoslavia, and then began an ambitious onslaught against the Soviet Union. Japan's dramatic attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 forced the USA to enter the war, making it truly a world war.
What events led to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? How and when would Hitler's dreams of expansion be stopped? This book examines each country's plans for empire-building and looks at why their attacks were so successful during the early years of the war.
