Occupation and resistance

• Over 750 million people lived in countries occupied by German or Japanese forces, that controlled laws, government and took the food, supplies and machinery.
• Populations were forced to collaborate with the occupying forces. Some people collaborated because they wanted better treatment or more food.
• There were active resistance movements in many areas; for example in France or the partisans in Yugoslavia.

Both sides used Prison Camps:

• In Eastern Europe over 4 million soviets were tortured, frozen and starved to death.
• In Asia, many Chinese and Korean people were removed from their homes and used for slave force by the Japanese.

In Allied countries there were internment camps for foreign nationals
