    The document provides a timeline and overview of key events in World War 2 from 1939-1945. It begins with Germany forming alliances with Italy and Japan to create the Axis Powers. Germany then invaded countries like Austria and Czechoslovakia leading up to the Munich Conference in 1938 where Britain and France agreed to Germany keeping land they had invaded. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland using their new Blitzkrieg strategy of fast, coordinated air and land attacks, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Germany then quickly defeated France in 1940. The Battle of Britain in 1940 saw Germany unsuccessfully try to bomb Britain into submission to pave the way for invasion.
