Adolf Hitler Caused World War II As I’m sure most people know Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Germans from August 2 1934 to April 30 1945, but do you know that as Fuhrer of Germany he was the driving force behind the start of WWII. During his reign he tried to bring Germany back to the powerful country it had been before the First World War. In this paper I will prove that Hitler’s actions lead to start of WWII, and I plan to prove how his direct disregard of the Treaty of Versailles pushed the world into WWII. I will begin with a little background on Hitler and what led him to become the Fuhrer of Germany. Hitler was a member of the German army during the First World War and, If not for the wounds of WWI still fresh in the hearts and minds of the British and American people I think we might have been able to avert the Second World War. As Hitler continued to grow the military of Germany, and expand their borders back to pre WWI he was slowly pushing the west into action. Hitler did not believe that his army could be defeated and he continued his expansion by annexing Austria in 1938. After that his next goal was to take over Czechoslovakia, but he was met with some force over this one. Czech had signed a treaty with Russia, and Britain and France both said they would defend Czech from the German forces. This angered Hitler, but he knew he could not overwhelm the forces of four different countries, so instead they all met and signed the Munich Pact(library.thinkquest.org/) which allowed Germany to take 50% of Czechoslovakia and leave the other hale untouched. While Hitler was reluctant he agreed, and then after signing the pact he turned around and annexed the rest of Czech. Hitler knew that he was taking a chance by annexing Czechoslovakia, but he believed that if he could take control of Czech he could use their land as a frontline to attack Russia, because he believed that Communism was wrong, and the only way to stop them was by invading and making them part of Germany. Basically Hitler believed that he could take over the entire continent and force them into
and eventually led to WWII. How this started was that in the end of WWI, they held a meeting with America, France, Britain, and Italy. They were discussing who to put the blame on for the war and who would be facing the consequences. In the end, all of the countries at the conference decided to put the blame and consequences in the hands of Germany, a country that was not at the conference, so they didn’t have an opinion to give. This eventually led to the causes of WWII with the events that Germany…
The Second World War WWII was the biggest war in human history and affected almost the entire world throughout its occurrence. Throughout the war, numerous battles occurred in many different countries. The war lasted just under six years, from 1939 to 1945. The late 1920s and early 1930s saw the rise of four cruel regimes, all of which would play a leading part in the Second World War. After the First World War, multiple countries took extra precautions for security and protection. Despite all…

Meghan Cole Hegna IB History/ World War II Test 29th October 2014 Analyze the results of the Second World War By the end of April 1945, the war on two fronts against Stalin and the Allies had proved too much for Germany thus Hitler famously committed suicide. As with WWI, Germany and her allies were defeated, leaving the Western Allies victorious, ending WW2 in Europe. Furthermore, the American decision to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced the Japanese to move towards surrender…
history books. This documentary is titled “Patriot or Traitor”, because Jacques openly provides the information on his great-uncle that allows the viewer to ultimately make the decision on how we wish to view this great Canadian. With slight bias, Jacques realizes his fascination with Adelard’s politics may be caused because his childhood was influenced by him, since he and his family were framed as…
at the end of WWII. The victory over Hitler left the United States feeling confident, so when the issue of Vietnam arose, it seemed as if it would not be too difficult to handle. The Vietnam War caused the United States attitude of loyalty to change into rebellion, which was greatly reflected in the anti-war movement, the drug and sexual revolution, and several public figures which resisted the war. The major seeds of conflict for the war began when Japan invaded Vietnam during WWII. In response…

starvation caused by the allied blockade, as well as an economy devastated by the reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. The loss of human life added to the cripple economy was only made worse by being forced to take full responsibility for the war. These were some of them reasons the German people felt backstabbed and betrayed by those who sign the peace terms. The Allies failed to realize that they were opening the door and creating the right circumstances for new conflict. Adolf Hitler recognized…
the Greek language. Due to the traumatic events that occurred in 1945, this word will now forever be associated with a horrible meaning: the mass murder of some six million European Jews and other targeted minorities, by the German Nazi regime during WWII. German society between 1918 and 1933 was rich in Jewish culture after the Weimar Republic granted ‘full civil rights’ to the Jewish population. They were part of the first cabinet formed in the new Republic and helped draft the Weimar Constitution…
before we entered WWII and him being the “middle man” with the allies to help keep our alliance going during the war I think that we would have lost the war because Russia and Great Britain would have stopped talking and our alliance would have broken down and it would have been very easy for Hitler to overtake us and our allies. FDR was a great leader because he knew when to step aside and let someone else lead. For example he never interfered with General Douglas MacArthur and how the war effort was…
