Having bolstered British morale during the Luftwaffe's bombing campaign against London, Churchill turns his attention to enlisting American assistance in the war effort. Stalin thought he could count on his alliance with Germany to protect the Soviet Union from the war sweeping through Europe but Germany invades, sweeping through Russia with brutal efficiency. With a skillful appeal to Russian nationalism, Stalin convinces millions to take up arms. In Canada, efforts are made to bring women into the war effort. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor changes everything, bringing the Americans into the war.
