🌍 World background

  • Hitler's Moves: Hitler took Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938-39. This wasn't cool because he invaded their space without permission.
  • League of Nations' Response: Umm, crickets? They didn't do anything.
  • British & French: Their strategy was "let's try to make Hitler happy and maybe he'll stop" (this is called appeasement). This was a big switch from the "everyone team up and defend!" strategy called collective security.

🎎 Why should japan care

  • Britain: They were competing with Japan in China.
  • Soviet Union: They were next door to Japan, and Japan was nervous about them taking over Manchukuo (a place Japan kinda liked).

💥 Japan & the cool kids club (axis powers)

  • 1936 - The OGs: Mussolini (Italy) and Hitler (Germany) did a bro handshake called the Rome–Berlin Axis. It’s from this that the term Axis powers got its name. They were like, "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."
  • 1938: Hitler told all Germans in China, "Come back home." Plus, Germany gave a nod to Manchukuo as a legit state.
  • 1939 Pact of Steel: Germany and Italy became BFFs in the military sense. Japan sent a friend request in 1940 and got added to the group!
  • China's Sadness: Jiang Jieshi of China had hoped Germany would be BFFs with China and not Japan. It's like hoping the cool kid at school picks you for the basketball team instead of the other guy.

🔎 Why did hitler heart japan

  • The Speedy Chinese: In 1937, China's army was like, "Bye!" super fast when faced with conflict. Hitler saw this and thought Japan was a stronger buddy.
  • Strategy Game: An aggressive Japan could bother the Soviet Union and Britain. This would be like having a little brother distract your parents, so you can sneak out to a party.
