Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What was Blitzkrieg? Why was it so different compared to past warfare? How did Radar come into play in the war?

Blitzkrieg was a tactic where the Germans would use combined arms with high organization to crush and drive through enemy lines in a way where the enemy would not have time to react. If they had the time to react the Germans would advance so fast that the enemy wouldn't be able to reorganize again and lose. Contrary to modern belief, the Germans didn't use Blitzkrieg later in the war, and the period at the start when they did use it are called ''The Blitzkrieg years''.

2. How did Pearl Harbor change the war?

By attacking Pearl Harbor Japan made the USA join the war. USA was already practically in the war if we look at how much supplies they were sent to the allies and the USSR, but they were not officially there with troops. After the attack, they had an official declaration of war.

3. What difference did those working at home make to the war in democracies as well as authoritarian states?

The ones who worked at home really won the war. Without them (mostly women workers) they wouldn't have had people to build planes, grow food, and make clothes for the troops on the front. This led to women seeking more rights after the war once they saw what they could really accomplish when they work. USSR already had progressive laws for women and workers since they were a worker state, but since fascists are very conservative their women didn't work in factories. Many say this made it very hard for the German army.

4. The Holocaust: explain. (?)

The holocaust is the name for the mass extermination by the Nazi regime during and before world war 2. While many people died in the holocaust it was primarily against the jews and to solve something the Nazis called ''the Jewish question'' which in reality just means that it was their way to get rid of the Jewish population that they believed was the source of all the problems. It remains the cruelest and most gruesome event that happened in Europe to this day.

5. What problems were to be solved upon wars end?

The eradication of Nazi thought and bringing the criminals that murdered millions to justice.
