In the east, the war are closely related to the rise of fascism, especially in Germany. The increasing of the Second World War are viewed as being traced back to the First World War. In that war Germany under the ultra-nationalistic, Kaiser Wilhelm II along with his buddies, had been defeated by a lot of countries like: The United Kingdom, United States, France, Russia and others. The war was directly blamed by the winners on the nationalism of the Kaiser's Germany; it was Germany that effectively started the war with an attack on France through Belgium. France, which had hurt a previous defeat at the hands of Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, wanted revenge for its financial devastation during the First World War, made sure that

concentration camps became places where millions of ordinary people were enslaved as part of the war effort, often starved, tortured and killed. Nearly 1,200 camps were spread out through Germany countries. Nearly 15,000 camps were spread out through Europe.Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about 20,000 camps to imprison its many millions of victims. These camps were used for a range of purposes including forced-labor camps, transit camps which served as temporary way stations, and killing centers built primarily or exclusively for mass murder.Following the German Invasion of Poland on September 1939, the Nazis opened forced labor camps where thousands of people died from exhaustion, starvation, and exposure. The guards guarded the camps. During World War 2, the Nazi camp system grew huge rapidly. In some camps, Nazi doctors performed medical experiments prisoners.Following the June 1941 German Invasion of the Soviet Union, the Nazis increased the number of prisoner-of-war (POW) camps. Some new camps were built at existing concentration camp complexes (such as Auschwitz) in occupied Poland. The camp at Lublin, later known as Majdanek, was established in the autumn of 1941 as a POW camp and became a concentration camp in 1943. Thousands of Soviet POWs were shot or gassed there.A typical concentration camp consisted of barracks that were secured from escape by barbed wire, watchtowers and guards.

This was quickly followed by the establishment of three more extermination camps: Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor. They were established under the code-name Operation Reinhard – the starting signal to the extermination of the approximately 3 million Jews who lived in Nazi-occupied Poland. In the concentration camps Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek two further extermination camps were established.The six extermination camps were all situated in former Poland and had mass murder as their purpose. Outside Poland at least two camps existed that in many ways resembled the six extermination camps in Poland: Jungfernhof (in Latvia) and Maly Trostenets (in Byelorussia).
All of the extermination camps were thoroughly organised and resembled industrial plants to an alarming degree. However, only Auschwitz-Birkenau, with its advanced gassing facilities and crematoria, was marked by high technology. In crematoria I and II there were elevators from the gas chambers underground, where the Jews were murdered, to the crematoria, where the bodies were
