There was a lot of stuff that happened in those years. Manchuria and Abyssinia were invaded, there was some trouble with the Treaty of Versailles,the policies of appeasement, the Nazi-soviet Pact, and the invasion of Poland. There is more explanation between these events. Of what happened, what they did to help, and what they did to help.

First of all, Germany thought it was unfair they couldn’t make anything against or to the Treaty of Versailles. Germany had to pay a lot of money for damages, and lost many territory, even had to reduce their military. You would think that the other countries would do something about this. They didn’t. Britain and France did NOT do anything at all to stop Hitler.

Hitler had taken over Sudetenland. Even though Britain and France had given him the land, they tried to appease him but he broke the promise he had made which was that after Sudetenland he would NOT take over other places. Unfortunately Hitler DID break that promise and Britain and and he still took over other lands. He took Czechoslovakia and he took over Poland too. Poland declared war on Germany just after Germany’s troops invaded Poland. Then...World War Two Started.

The Nazi-Soviet Pact helped Hitler and Stalin in some ways. Hitler made the Nazi-Soviet Pact. This pact was part a secret pact between Germany, and the Soviet Union. The pact was for them to NOT go to war with each other. They secretly made this promise. Plus, they decided to invade Poland and split the country between them

    There is no excuse for the horrible things Nazi Germany did during World War II. But one can get a better idea how that war started by learning about how World War I ended.

  • Collective Security Dbq

    Other countries mainly Britain responded to Hitler’s actions with appeasement and by not stopping him early on with collective security it directly caused World War Two. Collective Security is when multiple countries work together to strengthen a country in need. Based off of document 6 Winston Churchill suggested that Britain, France, and other nations should come together and protect Czechoslovakia from Hitler to stop the growth of Nazi power. Collective Security could have prevented Czechoslovakia from coming into German control. While in accordance with document 9 nobody could openly oppose Hitler’s massive forces he had accumulated. Which is why they didn’t use collective security to protect Czechoslovakia. Instead they used The Munich Agreement to appease to Hitler. The Munich Agreement handed over Czechoslovakia in hopes it would diminish Hitler’s need to keep taking over surrounding countries. Stated in document 7 The Munich Agreement was unnecessary because Czech defenses were relatively strong and during this time Germany wasn’t at its zenith of strength. Also Hitler’s generals were going to try to overthrow Hitler if he attacked Czechoslovakia because the Generals believed it was a foolish endeavour that would mean the downfall of

World War II began because those countries which were defeated in World War I (Germany, Italy, and Japan) were greatly devastated by the loss. Their countries were suffering from economical problems and were also left in bad conditions after World War I. They had lost much territory and now were practically in debt for the damages which they had done during the war (1). These countries figured that the only way for them to get out of economic depression and revive their country was to take land from other countries, which was one of the reasons why the war began.

    As an Austrian born soldier-turned-politician, Hitler was fascinated with the concept of the racial supremacy of the German people. He was also a very bitter, very evil little man. In addition, having lost the war, the humiliated Germans were forced by the Allies to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 that officially ended World War I. According to the harsh terms of the treaty, Germany had to hand over many of its richest industrial territories to the victors, and was made to pay reparations to the Allied countries it devastated during the war. Germany lost its pride, prestige, wealth, power, and the status of being one of Europe's greatest nations.

    905 Words  | 2 Pages

    The road to World War II was built by several different causes. Under Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, Germany had desire to expand and dominate over most of Europe. This expansionism could be seen in Germany’s allies too. Japan set its eyes on China, and Italy set its eyes on Northern Africa. Hitler also ignored many of the agreements under the Treaty of Versailles, and begun breaking the treaty more and more up until the start of World War II. Unfortunately he couldn’t be stopped, a policy of “Appeasement” from the League of Nations allowed Germany to build an army and begin the annexation of its European neighbors. This policy of appeasement was accompany by the belief that collective security would pull through. If all the nations banded together and declared collective security, no other country would dare attack. Unfortunately when Germany and her allies did attack, collective security proved useless. Ultimately the policies of appeasement, the belief that collective security would work, and the over aggression of the Axis forces would lead to the start of World War II.
