Chapter 16 Summary
Chapter 16 was kicked off with Germany's sparkling new dictator, Adolf Hitler, attacking France and Great Britain, along with an invasion of the Soviet Union. As American's clung to their policy of neutrality, they sent aid to the allied forces. Japan would then launch there surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the United States would declare war on Japan the next day.
