In 1941, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa to invade the Soviet Union, expecting a swift victory. After early successes, the Wehrmacht was slowed by Soviet resistance and the harsh winter. In Moscow, the Red Army launched a counteroffensive. Meanwhile, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, drawing the United States into the war. The failure to capture Moscow marked a turning point: the blitzkrieg was over, and World War II became truly global.
