Leaders arose in countries that were unsatisfied with the results of World War I.

In document 2, Haile Selassie, requested the League of Nations help stop the invasion and when the League’s response was ineffective he said, “ God and history will remember your judgement…It is us today. It will be you tomorrow.” By now, Hitler came to power and was leading the Nazi’s in the Third Reich. They had also became the largest political party.

Probably the first factor that need considering is the Treaty of Versailles, of 1919.
