From Nanjing to Hiroshima
Captions available
The idea
Japan's advance through China and attack on Nanjing showed its aims. Munich in thirty-eight conceded the Sudetenland; the Nazi–Soviet pact followed; Pearl Harbor in nineteen forty-one brought the United States in. Midway turned the Pacific; Mussolini fell in forty-three.
In practice
Hiroshima, then Nagasaki.
Where people slip
The Holocaust: over six million Jewish people and at least three million others, the anchor's count.
