A Different View of World War Two: Global Territory and the end of the Holocaust

This essay analyses the origins of the Second World War by briefly summarizing the events from 1919-1939. However, most emphasis is put on the amount of responsibility the Treaty of Versailles deserves for the outbreak of war. Other than analysing the Treaty of Versailles on its own, it also analyses the effects of the 1929 Wall Street Crash on the world, the rise of Fascism and Nazism, as well as the rise of Adolf Hitler, the failure of the League of Nations and the appeasement of the Fascist and Nazi regimes by Britain and France throughout the 1930s. Hence the Treaty of Versailles plays a

Axis and Allied Powers - A series of treaties in 1936 and 37 between Germany, Italy, and Japan created what was called the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis." The countries were thereafter referred to as the Axis Powers. The Allies consisted of France,

Prior to the First World War, Europe was the world center of industry and capital. Massive death, destruction, and resentment after World War I left most countries unable to recover to a normal existence and damaged the world economy. The economic collapse and the political instability caused by World War I eventually led to the rise of fascism in Europe. Forceful dictators in Italy, Germany, and Japan took advantage of these problems to seize power by territorial expansion. These events caused a major repositioning of world power and influence. This paper traces a variety of significant factors and forces that contributed to the outbreak of World War II.

Many contributions lead to the spark of World War I. The three main causes included the assassination of Francis Ferdinand, alliance systems, and militarism. Although imperialism and nationalism are said to be contributing factors to the cause of World War I, the assassination of Francis Ferdinand, alliance systems, and militarism were three of the most important causes of The Great War. An immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of Austria-Hungary’s archduke, Francis Ferdinand.

Introduction The Second World War had been fought between the Axis nations (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan and their smaller allies) and the Allied nations, led by Britain (and its Commonwealth nations), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America (Source D). The war changed many things internationally. This included changes to do with technology and the end of European colonialism (Source D).

World War II was a war unlike any other war that has occurred in the history of the war. In studying this war, there are some significant events that contributed to the start of World War II, that led to the US's entrance into W.W.II, and events that helped bring an end to W.W.II. The failure of the Geneva Peace conference, Hitler's annexation of Austria, the Spanish Civil War, Hitler's acquisition of Czechoslovakia, the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, Germany's invasion of Poland, and the fall of France all contributed greatly to the start of World War II. Some events that contributed to the entrance of the US into the war were Italy's invasion on Ethiopia, Japan's invasion of China, the Attack on

The axis powers (Germany,Japan,and Italy )were winning at this time because they were taking over,bombing,starting war with many cities, while the allies (U.S.A., Britain, Australia, France, and Russia) were losing because of the many wars and

One common assumption that people make about the Holocaust is that the atrocity was an event unique to world history. It is not often taught in United States history classes that there were events previous to World War II that set precedence that allowed the Holocaust to occur under Nazi Germany rule. Generally, history classes do not explore colonialism outside of the United States, so it is no surprise that very few people are aware of German colonialism in Africa, let alone how Germany’s actions there served as a precursor to the Nazi policy of genocide years later. By examining the events that took place under German rule in South West Africa, one can gain a better understanding of the mentality behind the Nazi Germany genocide policy, as discussed in Isabel Hull’s article Military Culture and the Production of “Final Solutions” in the Colonies: The Example of Wilhelminian Germany.

This symposium gave delegates the opportunity to hear and speak on different perspectives of the influential nations or powers that were major aspects of the World War II. Almost all allied force delegates denied accusations to take any part of the blame for the injustices perpetrated during this atrocious time and the events preceding. The Axis forced admitted to their faults, but provided strong reasoning of why the Allies should share the blame. Allied forces denied accusations to take full blame or partial blame for the brutality perpetrated throughout this atrocious time and the events preceding. The Axis seeked the share of oppression and maltreatment of citizens amid the war, while Allies demanded for the full burden to impose on the Axis, rather than distribution of blame.

There were eleven countries in the axis alliance not the usually conceived three. World War II was a horrible time in the world’s history. In World War II, Germany, Italy, and Japan were the main powers in the axis alliance, who were basically the bad guys in World War II. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union were the main powers in the allies alliance. The Germans wanted to destroy all people that weren’t of the Aryan race. Aryans were tall, blond, and had blue eyes. Anyone who didn’t meet those requirements was deemed racially inferior. Japan and Italy joined the axis alliance because they were guaranteed land when the battle was won for Germany. This is the same for most countries that joined the axis alliance. The alliance

For quite a number of reasons, World War II was largely inevitable. In this text, I will take into consideration some arguments that have been presented in the past in an attempt to demonstrate the inevitability of the Second World War. These arguments range from the creation of the Treaty of Versailles to the conditions imposed on Germany to nationalistic issues. Many historians consider German's invasion into Poland the official commencement date of the Second World War.

Responses to the Second World War and the Holocaust demonstrated the continued role of national identity in Europe. These shifting national identities played a unique role in the lives of many Czech-German children. In Tara Zahra’s chapter on Ethnic Cleansing and the Family in Czechoslovakia, she explained the ironic difficulties involved in defining national identity. Some Czech governmental officials verbally opposed the Nazi, “theory of nationality… as a corporeal and material fact.” In spite of these protests, policies included “confiscation of property, eviction from apartments, and the requirement to wear armbands with the letter, ‘N’” which resembled Nazi actions (Zahra 186). In addition, local administrates interpreted the central government

The holocaust means a lot to many people especially survivors. Henoch kornfeld was born in 1938 and his parents got married in 1937. His parents parents gave them money to make a house in kolbuszowa. Not long after that germany invaded poland and soon reached their home town in poland (Henoch).

In the 19th century, countries in Europe began to form military and political alliances with other countries in order to ensure national security and increase their influence in international politics/international influence. Ironically, the alliances were also believed to ensure the balance of power, as an alliance between a stronger and a weaker nation would protect the weaker nation by deterring potential attacks from other countries, which in turn would prevent already stronger nations from gaining even more power and dominating Europe. For example, the Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary was formed in 1879 in order to curb Russia’s growing influence in the Balkan Peninsula. The Balkan Peninsula also served to increase tensions and rivalries between European countries. Due to the Balkan Peninsula’s strategic location next to major waterways such as the Mediterranean Sea, territory in the Balkans would facilitate trade and strengthen a country’s naval powers.
