An Outbreak Of War At All Costs

“The Cause of War” is a book written by Australian author Geoffrey Blainey. The book is a collection of studies from wars since 1700’s and it analysis the relation of rivaling nations. The book is divided in four parts it starts discussing the weakness behind the current theories of peace, it then moves to talk the “ingredients” which are key for a nation to determine whether they will go to war or not. Third part of the group is about some misleading theories of war, and the last part just deals with the variety of war.

A total war is a conflict which involves bringing together resources; this includes both industrial and military resources aiming at having an output that the enemy will not overcome at all (Castellano, 2016). The biggest difference that exists between a total war and a normal war is that there is really zero difference between those fighting in the same war and the civilians in this period; all these people are considered an enemy.

A third promise of Hitlers was that he would provide more living space. Hitler believed that Germany required more living space, or "Lebensraum", in order to survive. Instead of adding colonies to make Germany bigger, Hitler wanted to enlarge Germany within Europe. Hitler stated that the Soviet Union was run by the Jews, thus Germany had a right to take Russian land. With more living space, it was believed that this would make Germany stronger: stronger military, and built high hopes that Germany would become economically self-sufficient with the newfound wealth of food and raw material sources.

As stated in the New York Times, "...Germany today cast off the last shackles fastened upon her by the Treaty of Versailles when Adolf Hitler, as commander-in-chief of the Reich defense forces, sent his new battalions into the Rhineland’s demilitarized zone. . . ." (Document3). Hitler had challenged every condition in the Treaty of Versailles and violated every negotiation made. Territorial aggression and pushed every limit he was given, that disrupted peace. Hitler himself expresses his idea as stated "Oppressed territories are led back to the bosom of a common Reich, not by flaming protests, but by a mighty sword" (Document1). He also, rebuilt the German military and used extreme nationalism to unite Germany. A British historian, A.J.P Taylor expressed, " ...Hitler when he had come to power by constitutional means and was apparently supported by a large majority of the German people?"(Document8). Hitler had gathers supporters through his ideas and his speeches of hope. Hitler's leadership threatened the whole continent of Europe's peace. If his leadership was the ignition to the fire then state or the economy kept the fire running through the

After Germany lost World War I, it was in a national state of humiliation. Their economy was in the drain, and they had their hands full paying for the reparations from the war. Then a man named Adolf Hitler rose to the position of Chancellor and realized his potential to inspire people to follow. Hitler promised the people of Germany a new age; an age of prosperity with the country back as a superpower in Europe. Hitler had a vision, and this vision was that not only the country be dominant in a political sense, but that his ‘perfect race’, the ‘Aryans,’ would be dominant in a cultural sense. His steps to achieving his goal came in the form of the Holocaust. The most well known victims of the Holocaust were of course, the Jews.

George W. Bush agrees with preemptive war, he believes that this is the best approach in seeking balance of power that favors human freedom. In the article "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America" Written by himself in 2005, he declares that his mission is to defend peace by fighting terrorist, preserve peace by building good relations among the great powers. Also, continuing the topic of peace by extending later by encouraging free and open societies. How is he going to do this? Bush has himself and the United States of America taken the responsibility to lead building a world that trades in freedom and therefore growing in prosperity. In unison with their allies and their new found cooperation with Russia that is partnering

He provides several elements of direct connection using these German doctrines. These sources and methodology echo that of Zimmerer however Madly’s addition connection of lebensraum and the idea of people being carriers of genocidal intentions, further strengthen the original thesis. In his linkage of connecting the widely known German concept of lebensraum from the Nazi policy to German Southwest Africa, he uses the works of the term creator Friedrich Ratzel. Ratzel created the term in 1901, and Madley argues that he created it directly with German Southwest Africa in mind, as the ideal place for the German population to expand and live within. This is backed up with other newspaper writings from 1901 that encourage the taking of the natives land for German colonizers. In Madleys use of people as connectors from Africa to Auschwitz, he focuses on three top-ranking Nazi officials, Hermann Göring, Franz Ritter von Epp and Eugen Fischer and their direct or personal ties to German Southwest

Hitler wanted his country’s population to grow. The German land mass was small and if Hitler wanted a growth in population he would need more land. Hitler was quoted saying, “The

From the time of ‘Mein Kampf’ Hitler had outwardly expressed his desire to move toward Russia in his quest for ‘Lebensraum,’ however in 1939, it was beneficial for him

The rise and subsequent take-over of power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party in the early 1930s was the culmination and continuation not of Enlightenment thought from the 18th and 19th century but the logical conclusion of unstable and cultural conditions that pre-existed in Germany. Hitler’s Nazi Party’s clear manipulation of the weak state of the Weimar Republic through its continued failure economically and socially, plus its undermining of popular support through the signing the Treaty of Versailles all lead to the creation of a Nazi dictatorship under the cult of personality of Hitler. This clear take-over of power and subsequent destruction of any

“Hitler began building weapons, training pilots for war, and allied with Austria. He also left an International Disarmament Conference and the League of Nations.” (Chomsky, 2009) Racial theories and goals were at the center of Hitler’s thoughts. He wanted to make Germany a formidable military power.

Hitler has announced to Germany that he soon plans on attacking someone else soon. Giving Hitler leader of Germany was not a good idea. He is going crazy with power and he needs to be stopped. The problem soon will be nobody will be able to stop him. If he is able to get all of the country's in Europe, nobody will be able to stop him in his rising

First of all, the situation that Germany was facing during the Depression was not easy. For the Germans and for Hitler himself, this situation was one of the worst conditions to live. When Hitler’s ideas appeared in Germany, the people did not think twice but to accept his ideals. Hitler’s aim was to rebuild a new Germany with the discipline that he believed. For this to happen new people would need to appear and for Hitler those new people would be the Germany future, the children.

Moments later, their economy were even a deeper depression than before, and Germany is at a bitter crisis. Out of the citizens of Germany, one individual named Adolf Hitler stood in front of Germany with a fiery passion, directly informs them that the only solution for Germany were out of the brink of the natural depression is by imperialism, where other countries tends to extend their authority or capture countries, and also to exterminate all the Jews in the world. Adolf Hitler proves himself a very charismatic individual who passionately inspires the hearts of Germany by creating army known as the Nazis to fully execute their operations; however, the prime matter of their situation is thus first by removing the Treaty of Versailles, which greatly infuriates them since the very beginning. In order to remove the treaty, the Germans have to show disobedience towards the League of Nations by violating their strict agreement terms under the Treaty of Versailles. By enforcing the full extent of their military
