Invasion of Poland by the German army began World War II. Germany invaded against the warnings of their Allies, specifically France and German. Germany conquered the territories very quickly with the strategies that Hitler and his generals had developed. While Germany had once been in favor with the other nations of the world, this was lost during this time in history. When Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan the American armies joined the Allies and entered into World War II. The strategies of Patton and Eisenhower worked well against the German forces and the German surrender began and Hitler went to hiding in his bunker and killed himself. At the ending of the war in 1945 there were decisions made on the part of the allies to prevent Germany from starting yet another war. The capital of Germany, Berlin was divided when the Allied powers of the United Kingdom, United States and Soviet Union came together at the Yalta conference. As the war ended the United States, Soviet Union, and the United King came together and a conference in Yalta determined that Germany would be divided into four zones with each zone controlled by a member of the alliance. Germany was eventually divided into only two sections, West and East Germany. This is a worthy review of the events that took place during World War II.
