This week we will continue our investigation of WWII. As Hitler's armies began to take control of most of Europe, the Japanese would unleash a sneak attack against the United States at Pearl Harbor. As the United States entered the war, the tides would begin to turn in favor of the Allies, also due in part to Hitler's failed invasion of the Soviet Union; Operation Barbarossa. Towards the end of the week we will investigate & discuss how the Allies began to strike back against the Axis on all fronts, including the most famous invasion of all; Operation Overlord. D-Day would mark the beginning of the end for Axis controlled Europe. Finally, we will discuss the first use of an atomic bomb, and how it would end the war, and lay the groundwork for a new conflict; the Cold War.
