3. Incorrect!!! Hitler was indeed the leader of Nazi Germany but FDR was the U.S. President during WWII. Try again

4. Correct!!! Good Job! Hitler was the Nazi leader of Germany in WWII and Mussolini was the leader of Italy. Move on

5. Incorrect!!! Mussolini was the leader of Italy, and axis power, during WWII but Stalin was the dictator of Soviet Russia, a U.S. ally. Try again

6. Incorrect!!! To my knowledge Johnny Depp was not alive during WWII. And if Bieber was a leader of one of the Axis countries it makes sense that they lost. Try again

7. Where did WWII start? • Pearl Harbor, Hawaii • Poland • France • Athens, OH

8. Incorrect!!! Peal Harbor, Hawaii was the event that led to the U.S. entrance of the war but not the beginning of the war altogether. The war had been going on for over 2 years by the time the U.S. joined. Try again

9. Correct!!! Correct! Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939. Move on

10. Incorrect!!! France was an early target of Germany in WWII but was not where it started. Try again

11. Incorrect!!! Athens, OH is not correct. In fact, of all the countries involved the U.S. was the only one not to have an part of it attacked during WWII. Hawaii and Alaska although claimed by the U.S. were only territories at the time, not states. Try again

12. Who were the four main Allied Powers? • U.S., France, the Soviet Union and Britain • U.S., Germany, Italy, and Japan • France, Spain, Belgium, and Switzerland • EDCT 2030, and the EDTE 2000 Block

13. Correct!!! Correct. France and Britain were the first two of the four major U.S. powers. Then the Soviet Union joined followed finally by the U.S. Move on

14. Incorrect!!! Nope! U.S. was an Allied power but Germany, Japan, and Italy were Axis powers. Try again

15. Incorrect!!! Spain did not participate in WWII. Belgium was an Allied power like France but was only a minor party. They were more a victim than a contributor. Switzerland was neutral throughout the entire conflict. Try again

16. Incorrect!!! Incorrect but I could see why you would assume that they are Allied powers since they are so awesome. Try again

17. Name of Invasion of North Africa? • Operation Sea Lion • Operation Tintin • Operation Barbarossa • Operation Torch

18. Incorrect!!! Operation was the planned invasion of Britain by Germans. It never happened due to the German defeat in the Battle of Britain. Try again

19. Incorrect!!! Operation Tintin is incorrect. Try again

20. Incorrect!!! Operation Barbarossa was the invasion and attempt by Germany to destroy the Communist Soviet Union. Try again

21. Correct!!! Correct. Operation Torch was the joint-Allied invasion of North Africa, specifically French Morocco, and Algeria by British and American forces. Move on

22. Name of Alliance of Germany and Italy? • Berlin-Rome Pact • We Bros Now Pact • Entangling Alliances • Berlin-Moscow Pact

23. Correct!!! The Berlin-Rome Pact was the alliance between Germany (capital is Berlin) and Italy (capital is Rome) hence the name. Move on

24. Incorrect!!! We Bros Now Pact seems something more off of Jersey Shore than anything that requires any real intelligence. Try again

25. Incorrect!!! Entangling Alliances is not a specific alliance but a term used to define the situation in Europe before WWII. By making alliances with each other when Nation A was attacked by Nation B, the Nation C (Allied to Nation A) would have to fight Nation B due to its allegiance to Nation A. This was on both Allied and Axis sides. Try again

26. Incorrect!!! False. The Berlin-Moscow Pact was the non-aggression pact between Germany (capital is Berlin) and the Soviet Union (capital is Moscow). This didn’t last and was void after Germany attacked the Soviet Union. Try again

28. Correct!!! Hungary and Bulgaria were two small Axis countries that sided with Germany. Move on

29. Incorrect!!! It is true that Bulgaria was a minor Axis country but Switzerland was neutral throughout the war. Try again

30. Incorrect!!! Croatia was indeed a minor Axis power but Japan was a leading member in the Axis Alliance. Try again

31. Incorrect!!! False although Mary Kate and Ashley are probably evil enough to be an Axis but lack the talent to be a major one. Try again

32. Which Allied Power was defeated early on in the war? • France • U.S. • Japan • Chuck Norris (Technically he can’t be defeated so there are only three options for this question)

33. Correct!!! France was technically defeated by the Germans early on in the war when the Germans captured Paris. The French led a stiff underground resistance force however which proved crucial in the Normandy Breakout. Move on

34. Incorrect!!! The U.S. was not defeated early on in the war nor over the entire course of the war. Try again

35. Incorrect!!! Out of the Axis Powers of WWII, Japan was the last one to be defeated and it took two nuclear bombs to do so. Try again

36. Incorrect!!! Chuck Norris can’t be defeated. End of story. Try again

37. Operation Barbarossa was…. • The invasion of France • The invasion of Sicily • The invasion of a barber shop • The invasion of the Soviet Union

38. Incorrect!!! False. The invasion of France was not called Operation Barbarossa. Try again

39. Incorrect!!! The invasion of Sicily was called Operation Husky not Barbarossa. Try again

40. Incorrect!!! There was no barber shop invaded during Operation Barbarossa but I can see why you thought so. Most of the time the people who come up with these names aren’t that creative. Try again

41. Correct!!! Good job. The invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany was called Operation Barbarossa. It was a massive failure, when Hitler let pride get in his way and attacked Leningrad instead of the Caucus oil fields or Moscow itself. Move on

42. Who were the leaders of Britain and the Soviet Union at the end of the war? • Stalin and Neville Chamberlain • Stalin and Churchill • Lenin and Churchill • Snooky and DJ Pauly D

43. Incorrect!!! Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union and Neville Chamberlain was a leader of Britain but lost the Prime Minister position to Winston Churchill. Try again

44. Correct!!! Correct by war’s end Stalin and Churchill were the leaders of the Soviet Union and Britain respectively. Move on

45. Incorrect!!! Lenin had died years before the outbreak of WWII. Try again

46. Incorrect!!! If Snooky was the leader of Britain and DJ Pauly D was the leader of the Soviet Union then we would all be speaking German at this point. Try again

47. Who fought with Germany in Poland at the outbreak of the war? • The Soviet Union • Mr. Langille • Greece • Japan

48. Correct!!! A part of the Berlin-Moscow Pact was that the Soviet Union could have the Eastern half of Poland after they were defeated. The Soviet Union planned to use this a buffer zone between them and Germany and to speed up the process they invaded Poland from the East. Move on

49. Incorrect!!! I could see Mr. Langille doing this. He’s a jerk like that. Try again

50. Incorrect!!! Greece was actually a minor Allied power, not Axis and would not help the Germans. Try again
