Includes Index.

Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, sought to expand German territory, overturn the Treaty of Versailles, and establish a vast empire based on racist and nationalist ideology. He invaded Poland in September 1939, triggering World War II. Germany’s early victories brought most of Europe under Nazi control. However, Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 and his declaration of war on the United States after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor stretched German forces too thin.
