What not alot of people know is that besides Hitler there were other dictators (a ruler who assumes sole and absolute power) as well. Adolf Hitler was known as a great guy before he became the leader of the nazi party. Everyone in Germany looked up to him and they had parades every weekend, this man was like a god to geremany, and all of that was a complete lie when he turned against the people that loved him most.**=== ===Hitler was pleased and glad that his plan was alpl coming together and that everything was already falling into place along with more. France and Great Britain satisfied Hitler by //annexing austria in 1938,// and they also //annexed sudetenland and Choslovakia in 1938-1939, and the march into Rhineland in 1936.//===

=**Pearl Harbor? -****Benito was also part in an allience with Tojo and of course Hitler. Tojo was the guy that was in charge of japan during the attack of pearl harbor.**=
 * Like Hitler, Benito Moussolini was the dictator of Italy he joined Hitler and invaded Ethopia,Aulbania, and took part of the invasion of greece. Mussolini had his resons to invade the places he did. the reson why he had ivade Ethopia was to gain more natural resources.**
 * Pearl Harbor was an attack to a military ship that was located in Hawaii, after the attack, the United States joined World War 2.**
 * the reson the United States did not want to join the war was because they had just gotten out of the great depression and they were just trying to be nutural**

=What happened with Japan and China??=

In 1937 a small conflict between Chinese and Japanese soldiers at the Marco-Polo bridge, became a huge problem and led to undeclared war between the two.
=Expansion of the Japanese empire.= ==Japanese, victory of the Rusjo (Russia) japanese war 19004-1905 had made some asians (ones that were not afraid of the japanese expansion) to consider Japan as the regions main leader. Japans power of invading Manchurin, was the main lead to the attack of pearl harbor on december 7, 1941==

=Rattioned Items=

During War World 2 there were certain things that were rationed which included: Aluminum, tin, stamps, rubber, shoes, whisky, sugar, canned goods, cigeretts, matches, and gasoline.
=Was it necessary to ration?= ===The question can be answered in many ways. maybe rationing certain items was the best thing because if the Unites States would of never entered the war, things could of gotten worst. The U.S had just gotten out of the great depression before they entered the war. There were many things that peiople needed so for the benifit of both the soldiers, to use certain thing that were rationed and forpeople not to goand buy everything all at once and waisting everything that they could now afford===
