Oversimplified @OverSimplified provides a comedic and accessible overview of the events leading up to and the early stages of World War II. The video begins by tracing the rise of fascist dictatorships in the 1920s and 30s, focusing on Benito Mussolini's takeover of Italy and Adolf Hitler's exploitation of Germany's post-WWI economic struggles and humiliation to seize absolute power. Concurrently, Japan is shown aggressively expanding its empire into China in search of natural resources. As Hitler blatantly defies the Treaty of Versailles by remilitarizing and annexing neighboring territories like Austria and Czechoslovakia, the Allied powers initially respond with a failed diplomatic policy of appeasement. The breaking point occurs when Germany signs a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and invades Poland, prompting Britain and France to finally declare war. The video concludes with Germany's rapid "blitzkrieg" tactics that result in the swift fall of France and the desperate Allied evacuation at Dunkirk, followed by the Battle of Britain, where the Royal Air Force successfully withstands intense German bombing campaigns and forces Hitler to postpone his planned invasion of the UK.
