The Explosive Sequence Of Events That Triggered WW2

In 1939, the world collapsed into a darkness that would last six years and one day. This documentary explores the brutal beginning of WW2, from the invasion of China and the atrocities in Nanjing to the lightning-fast fall of Poland, Belgium, and France. We examine the strategic failures of the Maginot Line, the desperate miracle of the Dunkirk evacuation, and Winston Churchill’s rise to power as Britain stood as the final holdout against Nazi tyranny. This is the definitive story of how the world went to war.
