Axis and Allied Powers of WWII

Axis and Allied Powers
The Axis powers of WWII which were the bad guys, are Germany and their leader was Hitler. Next is Italy and their leader was Massolini, and Japan which their leader was Hideki Tojo. And the last two countries with the Axis which were smaller were Bulgaria, and Hungary. The Allied powers were Britain and their leader was P.M. Churchill. Also the Soviet Union and their leader was Joseph Stalin, and next would be the United States and our leader was President Roosevelt. There are some other colonies too which were Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. Other Allies that surrendered were Poland on September 1939, and France on June 1940.

The Battles
All the battles in World War II were extremely bloody, gory, and gruesome. Some of the most dreadful battles still remembered today are the battle at Normandy A.K.A. D-Day on June 6, 1944. This was the battle of when the Americans fought against Germany, the Americans ended up winning this battle but unfortunately many lives were lost. Another bloody battle was the battle of Stalingrad which is in Russia and the city is also the name of their leader Joseph Stalin. This battle was against 1 million Germans and 1 million Russians the Russians ended up surrounding the Germans and forcing them to surrender. Like these battles many others were just as bad. Some things that helped some of the victories were Artillery which were big guns and also Tanks which were armed vehicles with a lot of big guns on them, and last was planes which were used to carry bombs to drop on the enemy.

Cause
The main cause of all this fighting was that Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews by putting them in Concentration camps. What these camps were for is that they put all the Jews in them and then starting to put them to work. They were not treated well by them not getting hardly any food and little clothing. After a while the Germans would put them in gas chambers and they would eventually die, or they would do other things to kill them.
