The War of the Worlds

World War II: The Great War, Versailles, and Hitler When World War I ended the American attitude toward Germany was one of apathy and resolution. This ,coupled with the shared shrewdness and vengeful demands toward Germany inside the Treaty of Versailles, as well as Hitler's increasingly isolationist and Aryan views of the world and power, led to the catastrophe that was World War II. Even before the end of World War I, the American populous felt that anything German- music, food, language-…

A lot has happened but there were two wars that created a huge amount of change in the world.
