Nazi Response To Ww2

Improved Essays
Three of the main countries with dictators that posed a threat to world peace were
Japan, Germany, and Italy. Japan 's threat began with confusion over whether they should be following the example of the Western democracies like Britain, France, and
America or if they should be following the fascist dictatorships like Germany and Italy.
The decision finally came to head in the mid 1930s when the very imperial minded
Japanese military decided to take matters into their own hands. At that point the civilian government of Japan was ignored and the military began overrunning places like
Manchuria as well as the majority of eastern China which obviously threatened world peace. Then in Italy the fascist party was brought up by Benito Mussolini. The

German military, and broke the treaty of Versailles by invading. Western democracies responded to all of this craziness by putting into place the Western policy of appeasement which was fairly superficial and didn’t do much but start war. Some of the Western democracies even responded by cutting off all of their ties with these now corrupt countries. 2. Natzi aggression lead Europe to war because what hitler wanted was Europe and he wanted all of it. This all came prevalent when the German troops came into Austria in the late 1930s. It also didn 't help that when Hitler broke the treaty of versailles through doing this that none of the Western power were concerned nor did they act on it. Hitler then also invading Slovakia, hit the nerves of Western civilizations because Hitler had broken yet another promise. The Western democracies then decided and pledged to protect Poland. With this the dictators felt threatened so, Hitler and Stalin then teamed up to form the Natzi‐Soviet pact making an even bigger threat than they already were alone, which lead to all out war in

Germany’s Adolf Hitler and Italy’s Benito Mussolini gained power from their country’s political imbalance and financial struggles after WWI and through their citizen’s desperation and wounded nationalism.

    The treaty of Versailles caused more problems than it solved because of several reasons. First of all the treaty gave Germany the entire blame for the war which is completely unethical, second of all it completely ignored Woodrow Wilsons 14 points that would of most likely prevented another devastating war, third and fore most electing Hitler into power was the absolute worst decision ever. These three reasons is exactly why I somewhat agree that the treaty of Versailles did more harm than it did well. First off blaming the entire war on Germany was a complete mistake it just enraged them to become stronger as a nation when Hitler came into power.

    There appears to be two different ways of looking at the above statement. It can be argued that World War II was a continuation of World War I. Or, it could also be argued that World War II was not a continuation, but that World War I merely "set the stage" for World War II. After much consideration, there really is a fine line between these two situations. As there were many ways in which World War I actually led to World War II, this argument will take the position that "World War II was a continuation of World War I". In fact, it could be claimed that World War II was actually "Act II" of the Great War.…

World leaders of the time, like President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau of France, and Prime Minister David Lloyd George, met to not only create a treaty between themselves and the Triple Alliance, but to also create a treaty that would last.

On the eve of September 1939, a new war, deadlier than the last, erupted, built from the Versailles bricks that led to the resentment and outrage of the German people, but, from this, how did the Treaty of Versailles aid the call for the Second World War?…
