Power Transition Theory in Relation to World War II In the early twentieth century, Germany paved the road that would soon be one of the main causes of World War II. Due to the instability in Europe the First World War created, it allowed for a leader, by the name of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers’ Party or Nazi Party, to come into power. His party represented a combination of extreme hatred for those politicians who they viewed had dishonored Germany by signing the…

historian AJP Taylor: “Hitler was a . . . skillful tactician [who exploited] the opportunities offered to him” (Taylor, Page 132). To illustrate, when the German Chancellor signed the Munich Agreement with the English and French, Germany received the Sudetenland and, in return, vowed not to annex anymore territories. However, the Nazis pursued “lebensraum” (living space) by invading Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Belgium, France and the Soviet Union (which violated the German-Soviet…

In 1939 the world plunged into World War 2. The Nazi leader Adolph Hitler attacked and conquered many European countries. Germany, Italy and Japan made up the Axis power while Russia, Great Britain, France and the United States made up the Allies. Some of the leaders of the Allies were torn about how to deal with Hitler and the rest of the Nazi clan. Should they try to appease Hitler or fight back. Appeasement is when one leader satisfies/calms the other leader by giving something up. The…

The Germans despised the Treaty of Versailles because they felt that it put too many restrictions on them. Germany thought they had been betrayed so Hitler increased the German military. In 1938, Hitler was given the region of Sudetenland. Britain and France were hoping to dodge war so they negotiated with Hitler. Germany also occupied Austria and Rhineland because Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (Joseph Stalin) signed the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, which stated that the two countries…

which lasted from the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939 to Hitler’s suicide in 1945. The road to war began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler announced Germany would stop paying reparations while he was remilitarizing the Rhineland and occupying the Sudetenland. The fact is that Hitler was attacking the Treaty of Versailles, a peace agreement established at the end of The Great War in 1919. On September 1, 1939, Britain rifted appeasement policy and declared war on Germany with France after the…

The picture I chose was Hans’ little brother Alexandre standing in front of his school. After being settled down for a while the Fischler’s moved again to Prague because of the Germans starting to take over Czechoslovakia with the start of taking Sudetenland in the north. After moving to Prague as refugees the Fischler’s had their hearts set on one place in the southern hemisphere, Australia. Thinking they were going to be able to do this they sent all their luggage to France ahead of time. They…

World War II has been considered one of the most horrendous tragedies to ever occur in history. Violence, hostility, death and aggression dominated the 1930s and 1940s in certain European nations. The determined German leader, Hitler played an important, yet prominent role during this time period. With the rise and domination of fascism in Germany and Italy, the goal to maintain peace, established by the Treaty of Versailles ended up in major disaster. World War II began with the poor economic…

Hitler wanted to overthrow the government and “rescue” the Sudetenland, near the border with Germany. This area had a large German population that claimed poor treatment. Delegates from the European powers were worried about potential war and agree to meet with German and Czech negotiators to seek an agreement of peace. In September 1938 the Munich Conference was held and agreed upon that the Sudetenland would go back to Germany. This led to some critics stating the Munich Conference…

During the 1930’s, Britain and France followed the policy of appeasement. Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister was particularly keen to pursue the policy. The Oxford definition of appeasement is: “the action or process of appeasing.” Britain and France were crippled from the emotional, economic, political and psychological costs of war, therefore they gave Hitler what he wanted in order to maintain peace and avoid conflict. The appeasement encouraged Hitler’s aggression as he gained…
