__Diplomatic__ 1. Violation of Non-Aggression Pact 2. Violation of agreeing not to invade Poland 3. Munich Conference (forced appeasement) 4. Vichy Government 5. Unrestricted Submarine Warfare 6. Openly racist policies (scared off other countries) 7. Alliance with Japan (Pearl Harbor)

__Military__ 1. Operation Barbarossa 2. Two-Front War 3. Totalitarianism (One man in charge of every decision) 4. Operation Overlord 5. Decipher of Enigma 6. Failure to defeat Britan 7. America Enters War
