Early in the morning on September 1, 1939, the German military launched its blitzkrieg against Poland by land, sea and air. The ill-equipped Polish Army could do nothing to stop the assault, and fell to the Germans in a matter of days. In response to the invasion, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, and WW II was underway. WW II became a global struggle when America entered the war a few months later, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan. The outcome was far from certain in those early days of the war, as germany and Japan seemed unstoppable.
