Major Causes of World War II
Treaty of Versailles
It ended the state of war between Germany and Allied Powers. After the assassination of the leader it led directly into the war.
Rise of Fascism in Italy
Fascism arose in Europe after World War I when many people yearned for national unity and strong leadership. In Italy, Benito Mussolini used his charisma to establish a powerful fascist state. Benito Mussolini coined the term “fascism” in 1919 to describe his political movement.
Japanese expansionism
The 'China Incident' and the creation of a 'New Order' in East Asia in 1938 dominated Japanese military thinking until the summer of 1940, when the declaration of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere anticipated the expansion of Japan's empire into south-east Asia.
Economic depression
Depression & WWII (1929-1945) October 29, 1929, was a dark day in history. "Black Tuesday" is the day that the stock market crashed, officially setting off the Great Depression. Unemployment skyrocketed--a quarter of the workforce was without jobs by 1933 and many people became homeless.
Anti communism
Anti-communism is a political movement and ideology opposed to communism. It has been prominent in resistance movements against communism under socialist states governed by Marxist–Leninist communist parties throughout history. This was an impact on ww2 because people opposed their government and it later on led to the war.
Appeasement
It was an order to end all conflict. Hitler was never going to follow through with the agreement.
Militarism
Militarism encourages a nation to have a strong military to expand its interests. It goes hand in hand with nationalism and benefits from capitalism. Militarism contributed to World War I and World War II. During the Cold War, it overcame the peaceful efforts of the United Nations and other global organizations.
Nationalism
Nationalism is a way of thinking that says that some groups of humans, such as ethnic groups, should be free to rule themselves. Nationalists think that the best way to make this happen and avoid control or oppression by others is for each group to have their own nation. People wanted to be in control of themselves but it later led into ww2.
Rise of Hitler
He came to power when he promised that Germany would be renewed.
