Germany invades Poland, this is what I believe most likely started the war. I view this as the start of the war because this is what led to Great Britain and France declaring war upon Germany. -
Great Britain and Frances response to Hitler's invasion of Poland, was that Great Britain and France wanted tot declared war on Germany. This surprised Hitler and diverted his plan from opening a second war front. -
The Battle of Britain was between Britain and Germany, when the Luftwaffe attacked the Royal Air Force this lead to the British winning this war. This is a turning point in the war, because it showed how the Germans can still be overpowered, even though they were considered to have the most powerful army. -
The Tripartite Pact was between Japan, Italy, and Germany. This agreement was about the leaders joining forces. This is a turning point in the war because helped to empower the Axis Powers during the war. -

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor America begins war against the Japanese. This was a turning point in the war because this lead America to join the war against Italy and Germany as well. -
This was after Pearl Harbor when the United States decided to join the war. They did this because Franklin Delano Roosevelt realized that Japan was not the only problem. This was a turning point in WWII because America joined the war. -
After the Italian political leader Mussolini was removed from Italy's government, the Allied Powers were able to negotiate Italy's surrender. This was a turning point in the war because this eliminated the axis powers and only left the Germans, it also pushed the Germans out of North Italy. -
Allied forces land on the beaches of Normandy, France, marking D-Day where they had then been liberated. This is a turning point of WWII because this foreshadows that the war is coming to an end. -
Japan surrenders to the Allies, marking V-J Day, although the first announcement of surrendering was made before in August. This was a turning point in the war because this is what had ended WWII.
