About this listen

Victor Davis Hanson explores the complex origins and early developments of World War II, challenging conventional views on its start date. The podcast highlights Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939, as a pivotal moment and examines Poland's vulnerabilities and the Allies' inadequate support. The discussion covers Germany's surprising campaign against France, the underestimation of British resilience during the Battle of Britain, and the implications of Italy's entry and the Nazi-Soviet alliance. Concluding with the Axis powers' initial advantages by mid-1942, the lecture underscores the significance of early miscalculations in shaping the war's trajectory and the eventual turning points that transformed the global order.
