World War II was a byproduct of World War I and Germany’s anger toward the League of Nations for issuing The Treaty of Versailles. The German government and people felt cheated at the outcome of World War I because Germany had been blamed for the war itself and left to pay the debt of the war. The Treaty of Versailles, produced by the League of Nations, was a treaty forced upon the German people which not only took land from the Germans, including France, Belgium, Denmark, Czechoslovakia and…

See the A> section. It seems the only way African American coaches are hired is if they have a connection with a team's president or coach.
