Certain countries mass produced ammunition. These countries gained a large amount of money and they used this to grow their economy while everybody else was losing money.
Labour
Slavery
Countries were desperate for cheap workers. They needed cheap workers because the economy of the countries involved in WW1 were undergoing a very big recession. So cheap workers such as slaves were cost efficient.
In the war, the british were looking for more people to join their forces. When the british imperialized South Africa they forces a bunch of africans to join their army. This not only helped them in numbers it also helped them increase the power they can enforce on other people.

When countries imperialized other countries. Other forces started to fear them. They become feared so then they are not challenged by other countries.

Justification
Opinion
Hitler sparked the war with the assassination of the prince of Poland. He wanted to take control of not only people but he wanted to control a large amount of land. He felt that the ideal European( blue eyes, blonde hair, and a white complexion) was the only species allowed to live on this earth. We felt that these ideals were not right. These ideals also sparked one of the most dangerous wars in history next to WWII.
