The war lasted six years with many different battles between the Allies and the Axis’s. Hitler did not only invaded Poland, but from there fought his way through many other parts of the world such as Greece, France, Britain, and the Soviet Union. The quote, “It is us today. It will be you tomorrow” said by Haile Selassie to the League of Nations, embodies exactly what Hitler did in response to appeasement (document 2).

In the statement “When the German Reich received England’s declaration of war on 3 September 1939, the British attempted once again to frustrate any attempt to begin a consolidation, and thus a strengthening, of Europe by fighting the then strongest power on the Continent,” he rewrites history by disregarding the German provocation of England and France by omitting France and the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Hitler shifts the blame for the war to England, despite Germany’s failure to adhere to the conditions set by both England and France for a troop withdrawal from Poland.
