World War Two Lesson Plan Student Journal: Poland and The Netherlands

Poland 5 1939 – 

Great Britan and France have public garrentte my borders. Germany invaded my western flank and soon captured the entire region of P1. Poland needs to wait until Great Britain or france has the power to take over Germany. Then I will help maintain the Eastern front of Germany.  P 2 need to make an alliance with the USSR, to help keep Germany out of the USSR. The Dutch El provide me with Rubber, they have a surplus of it so it was not hard from them to spare 5.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1939 –  

Netherlands is a weak country with a small army so Germany easily took it over. I will have to hold out for France to take over Belgium so they can start and advance into Germany. As this happens I will supply France with the natural resources they need. I have rubber in the North East Indies, if they have use for this then I will be ready to supply them with it.  France and Great Britain need the Dutch El to supply rubber to keep ratings up. This is how I will negotiate so they will defend me.

Poland 5 1940 – 

The USSR is the only one that could help defend me. Great Britain and france are not close enough to defend. I have negotiated with both of these countries and they have agreed to return my countries back when they start to advance on germany and Japan.  Their is rumors of the USSR having a secret Alliance with Japan.  This is not good because they are directly next to Poland. Poland is surrounded by Germany and USSR. It will be hard for my alliances to regain Poland in this difficult situation.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1940 –  

In they Netherlands Germany is starting to take affect, Hitler has started moving in Nazi troops. Their is talk about killing Jews. We are hoping soon that France will start to invade Belgium and then be able to regain our territory and again become apart of the Allies.  Italy is trying to invade France, france pulled out a victory. This will help us in the long run. If France is able to retain their original territory they will continue to be strong and help the netherlands.

Poland 5 1941 – 

Part of France has been The USSR has allied with the Axis powers. This is not good they both have very large armies although USSR armies are week they are large. Germany is starting to move troops into Poland. This is taking its toll on our people. They are losing hope that we will ever get our country back. The UUSR siding with the Axis was not good news to us. There is not much Poland can do right now other than wait and hope for something to happen in our favor.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1941 –  

In the Dutch El a large war happen close to us. Great Britain, France and the US  Navy all attacked Japans Navy, they lost. I could have helping with my navy. If I did this it may have helped them win but then if i got attacked I would have no defense against Japan if they tried to attack me. I have rubber and Japan has no rubber so if they need rubber I’m the closest rubber to them.  So far i don’t for see anyone attacking me. I still need to be prepared to defend a attack though. US has agreed to defend me incase of an attack. Japan has 49 navy in the West Pacific I have 50 in the Dutch El if they attack I should be able to defeat them. I am hoping they have a low rating. My rating is 7 for the Dutch El navy.

Poland 5 1942 – 

We are just waiting for france, Great Britain, and the U.S. to start and regain territory. The USSR has sided back with the allies. They have decided to help us defeat Germany. Germany thinks they are still not going to help us defeat them.  There is confusion on who the UUSR is sided with.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1942 – 

 In the Pacific ocean Japan has been taken over by the Allies. Japan tried to tack New Guinea. Great Britain helped defend me because I have rubber. If Japan were to get the rubber that would help their ratting. The U.S and I are attacking the Japan Navy, by doing this we have eliminated the Japan Navy so I don’t have to worry about anymore attacks.

Poland 5 1943

I am allowing Great Britain to move my army to their convenience. They are small but they have a powerful rating and i can help in moving troops into germany. Germany is allowing us to come throughout the Baltic sea. They think we are going to help them take over more of the UUSR for some reason. I don’t think it was in there best interest to let us through. They was not smart on there part.  There are no troops in P1.  The US has attacked germany in F3, it was a success. Allies are starting in on Germany. The USSR has came back to the Allies.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1943 – 

It has become a waiting game. No german troops occupy Netherlands as of right now. The French and British could take over the netherlands again and let us move back in. Germany is only one move away from attacking though, so they would need to bring in a large about of troops to help fight. We have still managed to protect the Dutch El. We still have a surplus of rubber. Italy is the only axis left with a navy. I am slightly worried about them coming for the Dutch El. If they attack I will not be large enough to defend.

Poland 5 1944- 

There is going to be a big attack on Germany from the UUSR and Allies soon, I feel. Time is closing in and we need to start attacking Germany soon. The Allies need to work together to defeat Germany. Allies are going to attack F1, and G1. I need get them to move into P1 because no germans are in p1 right now. As soon as the Allies get Poland back Great Britain and France said they would guarantee our borders.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1944 – 

There are no German troops in the Netherlands so the Allies will start to regain the Netherlands. G1 has been taken back over, they are weak and only have 5,000 troops we. They can attack and take back over Netheralands, Belguim and G1.

Poland 5 1945- 

The allies need to move fast, today is the last day of the simulation. They are going to majorly attack Germany to regain Poland. If they want to win they are going to have to attack hard with a lot of troops. USSR is starting to attack from the other east. Allies are going to slowly start to close in on the axis. France and great Britain have threaded to break their alliance with the US because they made an alliance with Italy. In fear of attack they broke the alliance with Italy.  The USSR is going to attack P2. The land was gifted back to me.

Netherlands/ Dutch El  5 1945 – 

The Dutch El is safe. There is no way we can  be attacked. The Netherlands is not occupied by any German troops. I have managed to defend the Dutch El and reach all of my objectives.
