Answer Key

#	Answer
1	World War II began in 1939 and ended in 1945.
2	The two main sides were the Allies and the Axis Powers.
3	Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 is often seen as the start of World War II in Europe.
4	The United Nations was created to help countries work together to keep peace and prevent future wars.
5	Countries used propaganda to influence public opinion, build support for the war, and encourage people to make sacrifices.
6	Germany was an Axis country, and the United States was an Allied country.
7	Blitzkrieg was a fast attack strategy that used tanks, airplanes, and infantry to surprise and quickly defeat opponents.
8	Rationing limited how much food, fuel, clothing, and other supplies people could buy so more resources could go to the war effort.
9	The Battle of Britain was important because Britain defended itself against German air attacks and prevented a German invasion.
10	D-Day was the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. It was important because it helped the Allies begin liberating Western Europe from German control.
11	Many women worked in factories, offices, and military support jobs during the war, which showed they could do work that had often been done by men.
12	The Holocaust was the Nazi campaign to persecute and murder six million Jews and millions of other people during World War II.

14	World War II left many countries damaged, caused millions of deaths, and led to rebuilding, new international organizations, and changes in governments and borders.
15	Answers will vary. A strong answer should choose one turning point and explain how it changed the direction of the war, such as by stopping enemy advances, opening a new front, or adding major military power to the Allies.
