Early Axis victories, by method
- Germany's Blitzkrieg warfare in Europe, combined with Japan's attacks in Asia and the Pacific, brought the Axis powers early victories.
- Blitzkrieg is a method, not a weapon — speed and combined arms answering 8.2's trench stalemate.
- And the CED joins two theatres in one sentence, so the war is global from the outset of this account.
Blitzkrieg is best described as...

Answering 8.2's trench stalemate.
Four things that produced Allied victory
- American and British industrial, scientific, and technological power, cooperative military efforts under the strong leadership of individuals such as Winston Churchill, the resistance of civilians, and the all-out military commitment of the USSR contributed critically to the Allied victories.
- Four contributions: industrial capacity, leadership and cooperation, civilian resistance, and the USSR's all-out commitment.
- Contributed critically distributes the credit — the CED refuses to name a single decisive factor.
Select all four Allied contributions the CED names.

'Contributed critically' distributes the credit.
What military technology made possible
- Military technologies made possible industrialised warfare, genocide, nuclear proliferation, and the risk of global nuclear war.
- The CED puts genocide in a list about technology, and that placement is deliberate and factual.
- It is stating that industrial methods were applied to mass killing, which is what the historical record shows.

Industrial methods applied to mass killing, as the record shows.
The CED refuses to name a single decisive factor. Industrial and scientific power, cooperative military efforts under leaders such as Churchill, the resistance of civilians, and the all-out military commitment of the USSR all contributed critically — the adverb distributes the credit across four contributions, and an answer that keeps only one has narrowed the claim.
Two items on that list belong to the decades after 1945, not to the fighting.

The objective says World War II and the 20th century.
And what it left behind
- Nuclear proliferation and the risk of global nuclear war belong to the decades after 1945, not to the fighting.
- So this Historical Development reaches past the war into 8.1's polarised state order during the Cold War.
- The objective's own wording — World War II and the 20th century — licenses that reach.
An answer crediting only one Allied factor has...

The CED refuses to name a single decisive factor.
Technology and innovation, two ways
- The objective is how technology and innovation affected the course of World War II and the 20th century.
- The course of the war: Blitzkrieg's early victories, then Allied industrial, scientific and technological power.
- The century: industrialised warfare, genocide, nuclear proliferation, and the risk that outlasted the war.
A method that wins the first year of a war can lose the fifth, because a method can be studied and a factory cannot be out-thought. Which is why an account of victory that stops at tactics stops too early.
Germany's Blitzkrieg warfare, combined with Japan's attacks in Asia and the Pacific, brought the Axis powers early victories, while American and British industrial, scientific, and technological power, cooperative military efforts under leaders such as Churchill, the resistance of civilians, and the all-out military commitment of the USSR contributed critically to the Allied victories. Military technologies made possible industrialised warfare, genocide, nuclear proliferation, and the risk of global nuclear war — a reach past 1945 into the Cold War order.
