France & Britain declared war, but remained inactive

The chief argument between Truman and Stalin at Potsdam in July of 1945 was over

free elections in eastern Europe.

Hitler's "Diplomatic Revolution" between 1933 and 1936 included all of the following except

immediately declaring war on the United States

Allied bombing raids on German civilians

produced stubborn resistance from the German people.

Hitler settled on acquiring German Lebensraum in Russian territory because of his belief that

the Slavs were a "inferior" people governed by impotent Jews

The Nazi Einsatzgruppen were

special strike forces used in eastern Europe to kill Jews.
