    HIS103 · Week 6 summary

    The Second World War

    Start here
    This week

    The week runs from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to D-Day in 1944. The lecture argues the Eastern Front decided the war, and the west did not.

    Key concepts
    Invasion of PolandLecture 11 · slides 6 to 9

    Germany attacked on 1 September 1939. Britain and France declared war two days later, so this is where the war in Europe begins.

    The Eastern FrontChapter 7 · pp. 210 to 219

    Most of the German army fought and was destroyed here, from Barbarossa in 1941 to Stalingrad and Kursk in 1943. The lecture treats it as the deciding front.

    D-DayLecture 11 · slides 28 to 31

    The Allied landing in Normandy on 6 June 1944 opened a second front, so Germany had to fight east and west at once.

    Watch out

    D-Day was not the turning point. Germany was already losing in the east by 1944, and the lecture puts the turning point at Stalingrad.

    08 Before you ask

    Fair questions.

    Straight answers to what students ask us first.

    Start freeNo credit card required.
    Is this cheating?

    No. Cadenza does not write your essays or take your tests. It tells you what to study each week and quizzes you on your own material so you actually learn it.

    Does it keep my grades or post to Quercus?

    No. Cadenza only reads your courses, files and deadlines. It never stores your grades, never submits anything, and never changes a thing in Quercus. Disconnect any time in Settings.

    Does it work for my program?

    If your course lives in Quercus, Cadenza reads it. It has been tested on CSC, MAT, PSY, BIO, HIS and Rotman courses.

    Is Cadenza part of UofT?

    No. Cadenza is independent and is not affiliated with the University of Toronto. You connect it yourself with an access token you make in your Quercus settings, and you can disconnect it any time.

    What does it cost after two courses?

    $5 a month for up to five courses, or $10 a month for up to ten. Cancel anytime.

    Your term, composed.

    Smart isn't the problem. Staying organized across five courses, week after week, is what trips most of us up. So I built Cadenza.
