  • Summary

  • In the land between two great rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, a fertile stretch of land once flourished with life, creativity, and innovation. This area, known as Mesopotamia, is often regarded as the cradle of civilization. It is here that humankind took its first organized steps toward becoming what we now recognize as a complex, structured society.

    World War II Part 4

    Hitler needed the Ploiesti oil fields in Romania for his later invasion of the Soviet Union. In 1940, the German-Romanian Oil and Arms Treaty was signed. Germany mediated the conflict between Hungary and Romania. As the Romanian people revolted, King Carol II passed the crown to his son Michael, and General Antonescu called in German troops. On 12 October 1940, German troops landed in Bucharest. Frustrated by this diplomatic misunderstanding, Mussolini invaded Greece from Albania on 28 October 1940. But the Greeks not only resisted the attack, but by December occupied one-third of Albania. In addition, British troops landed in Crete. Turkey also mobilized troops.

    In December 1940, the British Empire launched a highly successful counter-offensive against Italian Fascist forces in Egypt and Italian-occupied East Africa. As a result of this attack, Italy lost control of eastern Libya in early February 1941 and a large number of their soldiers were captured. Along with the land shock, Italian naval power was also severely damaged. At the Battle of Taranto three battleships were destroyed by Royal Navy aircraft carrier attacks and at the Battle of Cape Matapan several more ships were lost.
