![Page 13: HI 112 Raffael Scheck Colby College A Survey of Modern Europe 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6b5503460f94a4999b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Party - strong influence on state State - reaches into every area of life Army - high prestige Ideology - shapes state and society Propaganda - used unscrupulously Police Repression - largely outside of the
law Leadership Cult - adulation of charismatic
leader through state-controlled media Internal and external target groups of
aggression

Cause
Hitler wants war– Obsession with his own mortality– Exploitation of temporary advantage in terms
of rearmament

The Outbreak
Hitler-Stalin Pact (August 1939) dooms Poland and misleads Hitler to believe that France and Britain will not go to war
France and Britain do declare war but do not attack (Phony War)
Soviet Union takes its “share” of Poland
![Page 38: HI 112 Raffael Scheck Colby College A Survey of Modern Europe 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6b5503460f94a4999b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Defeat of the Allies in the West, 1940

The Attack on the Soviet Union
Hitler’s priority War of annihilation Tied to the Holocaust Too risky gamble
![Page 41: HI 112 Raffael Scheck Colby College A Survey of Modern Europe 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6b5503460f94a4999b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Long Road to Axis Defeat
Soviet resilience U.S. entry into the war
after Pearl Harbor Axis defeats in Russia,

Consequences
Europe looses its predominant position
Utter destruction in many areas
50-65 million killed Soviet Union
dominates Eastern Europe
