strongly lowered morale. Appeasement’s sole aim was to avoid war at all possible costs, and seemed a reasonable response to Hitler’s demands, which were also considered justified. There was almost no resistance to German troops who marched into the Sudetenland; they were welcomed as heroes. The 1938 Sudeten Crisis seemed pivotal in proving that the policy was successful in preventing war; this illusion remained intact until the 1st of September 1939, when the Nazi invasion of Poland encouraged…
Hitler is the one major reason of World War 2 and without a crucial doubt he single handedly caused the worst war to mankind. He made a legacy for himself and while not able to fend for himself he bit off more than he could chew. As Hitler’s popularity slowly rose during the late 1920’s he would gain the ability to lead a group of powerful generals and leaders.

stating “League of Nations,” staring down a snake wrapped around a branch labeled “international strife.” The idea behind this comic is that the League of Nations was a joke which was completely true.

still by Hitlers side, as well as Germany supporting in every way possible, Hitler wanted Germany's old land back. Being lost due to the Treaty of Versailles, he used force to get what he wanted. Hitler ended up taking back the Rhineland's and Sudetenland. The Prime Minister of England, Neville Chamberlain, allowed Hitler to claim the lands. Hitler then took it one step further and on September 1st 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, and with it, it caused a global conflict. England and France declared…
In addition to that, the Germans took the blame for starting world war one. So, in the writing of the Versailles treaty the writers included a clause for blaming the Germans; for starting the war Germany had to pay 226 billion Reich marks in gold around £11.3 billion. They also had to give the Alsace Lorraine which hindered their ability to pay the money. The debt that Germany has to pay made them poorer than they were after the war. Hitler used the damaged Germans to give him power to fight…
Adolf Hitler, and British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain sought peace for Europe. By 1938, Germany violated the Versailles Treaty which was put in place after the First War by rearmament and territorial expansion.

After this sudden change of heart, he began to help shield his Jewish workers from all…
