Why Did Ww2 Start

The treaty of the Versailles was an agreement between France, England and the United states. Its intentions were to prevent a second world war however, it was a total fail. An obvious reason for not being effective could be because not everyone was included in the conference such as Russia, and Central Powers. Instead, Prime minister George Clemenceau had thought he would speak for all of europe and wanted to be the strongest of europe. Clemenceau seeked revenge towards Germany, in fact he desired most dismantle the best of Germany 's military and their nationalist pride. As for the United States, Wilson implemented the fourteen points which focused on self determination of people. Only few of his points were included in the treaty but these points had been the reason for conflicts happening in europe. Participation from everyone is important and not allowing everyone 's input could lead to negative outcomes such as, The league of nations which most likely failed because the United States wasn’t allowed to participate.

In 1914 World War I began, Europe got quickly involved. As we know the United States is a neutral nation because George Washington believed in neutrality for this nation. President Woodrow Wilson announced that the U.S would stay neutral during World War I. Germany kept instigating the United States to get involved with this war so their decision was made. On April 6th 1917 the United States was fully in World War I. This was a smart decision of them to make.

In this essay I will be explaining three reasons on how WW2 started. The question I used for this research was; what caused WW2? The reasons that I chose was; 1. How the treaty of Versailles caused WW2, 2. How fascism caused the war and 3. How Hitler caused WW2.

The United States was thrust into the WWI because Germany was trying to become a Global power to rule the world and was going to kill, destroy anything they could to become that evil entity. Germany was at war with Belgium, France, England and declared war on Russia trying to overtake the areas. Because Germany did not want these European countries to have anything to do with the anyone else they block the borders to prevent any exports or imports of goods and even sunk ships to prevent anything coming to shore.

The industrial era had many effects, not the least of which was plunging the world into world war. One must consider the relationship between eras and events as a student of history. The industrial era created a perceived need in America for raw materials and markets for goods. The United States was not alone in this desire for expansion. All the industrial nations were in open competition to develop vast empires that would provide them with the fuel to run the factories of industrialism. This imperialist competition led to tension and the creation of vast armies. The willingness to use these armies was known as militarism. In order to feel safe (there was a pretty fair degree of paranoia as

The United States had to go through some events, before entering the world war with Germany. The United States had entered the war because Germany attacked american ships, the Zimmerman note was sent to the Americans threatening the U.S. president. There was also an unrestricted submarine warfare, the selling of weapons, lending money to allies, and wanting to make the world safe for democracy. World War 1 passed through many events in order to start the war.

For four years the United States prided themselves with knowing their nation was separated from the conflict happening overseas. After the beginning of World War I in 1914, the United States stood as a strong neutral nation, until joining the war in 1917. The U.S. joined the Allies, which also consisted of Britain, France, and Russia. On the opposing side of the war was the Central Powers, that consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Popular opinion against Germany, the interest in democracy, and the demand for safe seas were the leading factors that pushed the United States into joining World War I.

During the Second World War the government of the United States was adamant about remaining neutral and not getting involved unless absolutely necessary. If the United States had entered the war earlier, they would have faced the risk of being invaded by countries already in the war. An invasion, or any more time spent in war than necessary could have led to more American casualties. The United States was supplying other countries with weapons during the war. Not only was it necessary, it was imperative for the United States to enter WWII. It would have been impossible for the United States to remain neutral while still protecting their citizens.

The U.S entered WWI is because they were already on good terms with France and Britain. The majority of the U.S consisted of people who were Anglophiles and Francophiles which are people who admired and respected the U.K and France. U.S’s bias with France and the U.K played a significant part on why the U.S entered WWI and supported the allies. Also U.S’s exports to Germany drastically plummeted within the span of 2 years. In 1914, the U.S exported $344,794,276 worth of goods to Germany. However in 1916, the U.S only exported $288,899 worth of a goods which is a $344,505,377 difference.

World war one which began in 1914, and which lasted for almost four years and three months, has been known as the most destructive war in history. Most of the fighting was in Europe, but soldiers from many other countries took part, and it changed the colonial empires of the European powers. World war one was fought by most of the countries of Europe. The actual fighting was on many different fronts. The Western Front was where most of the fighting between Germany and the Allies happened.

There is a seemingly endless list of reasons why WWI started but their were 3 main ones that caused the war to escalate into such an international one. The first reason is Alliances this is an important one because most of the countries that became large parts of this war weren’t directly involved in the original conflict. But, were involved through alliance and backing up their “little brother.” The next reason was the Arms Race because Germany especially had began creating new, bigger, and better weapons that could kill more people faster than older guns and other weapons. After that those weapons were created countries began creating all the new weapons in bulk. This made them kinda want to “show off” their new arsenal of fancy, new, better, guns (causing them to be a bit more “antsy” for war). The next and final reason was The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Although the actual assassination of the Archduke wouldn't have been very important to the war at any other time. But, his assassination at this time caused the war to actually begin because all the countries have been at each other's necks just waiting for any reason to start a war.

The reasons why America had to get involved in World War I were due to the interception of the Zimmerman note, the sinking of the Lusitania, American propaganda, and U.S. business interests with trade opportunities. American involvement in World War one was due to the German threat to American security and freedom. Reasons why America’s security was threatened include the sinking of the Lusitania, the Zimmerman note, and Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare. Joining the Allied Powers was the only way to eliminate the threat against America’s freedoms. Germany threatened to bring its tyranny and oppression on to American soil.

The United States wasn’t jumping to get involved it WWI. They wanted to remain neutral for the duration of the war. However those plans did not last because we entered the war in 1917. There were many reasons the war started in general and that U.S. entered the war. There were many things that resulted from the war.

World War II was fought in Europe, North Africa, Asia, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Northern and Southern Hemispheres. World War II was a lot worse and even more global then World War I in 1914. Many events and wars led up to World War II. On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland and two days later Britain and France declared war on Germany. World War II begins here.
