1) How did the nonaggressive treaty doom Poland? How did this actually
start on August 31st, 1939 (Hint: The Nazi’s FAKED IT)!
On August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union signed a nonaggression treaty with
Hitler. The Hitler-Stalin pact meant that Germany could make war on
Poland and the Western democracies without fear of retaliation from the
Soviet Union.
Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Britain and France,
honoring their commitments to Poland, declared war on Germany;
World War II had started.
2) Although Americans were strongly anti-Nazi, we remained isolationist,
yet involved! Explain how this is possible?
Americans wanted to stay out of the war, even though most American’s
hated the Nazi’s!
Britain and France needed war materials from America, so Congress
passed the Neutrality Act of 1939. (The previous Neutrality Acts
prohibited trade with them.) This new act let the European democracies
buy American war materials as long as they transported the goods on
their own ships and paid in cash. This allowed America to avoid loans,
war debts, and the sinking of American ships.
3)From the previous question how did the “Neutralist Act of 1939” help
really get us out of the “Great Depression”?
The demand for war goods helped end the recession of 1937-1938, and it
solved the decade-long unemployment crisis.
4) What was the major fear most people had once France surrendered to
the Nazi’s? Hint: Think location, location, and location!
When France surrendered, Americans realized that England was all that
stood in the way of Hitler controlling all of Europe. FDR and Congress
quickly set out to build large air-fleets and a two-ocean navy. On
September 6, 1940, Congress passed a conscription law; under this
measure, America's first peacetime draft was initiated.
At the Havana Conference of 1940, the United States agreed to protect
Latin America from German aggression (extension of the Monroe
Doctrine)
