20 years later, after losing millions of people and a brutal war that lasted for 6 years. Then on September 1939 the thought of another war was unthinkable, until it happened. One of the causes was the Treaty of Versailles. Another cause is the failure of the League of Nation. The third cause an in my opinion is the main cause is Hitler breaking the Treaty of Versailles. Last but not lest is the Invasion of Poland, now this was the final straw for the League of Nations and the spark of World War…

These events set the mold for a new modern America. Just under 50 years before the 20th century, America had made great strides in improving modern American freedom by implementing the 15th amendment and giving the right to vote to any man of any race.
