Germany lost opportunities to fix its’ economy because of losing land, and Germans wanted the land back, which is exploited by Hitler by saying he was in favor of war do they could get the land back. Paying reparations caused Germans to lose self-respect and made them angry. Hitler again exploits the Germans displeasure by discontinuing the payments. Again, the Germans are exploited by Hitler by restoring pride when they had been humiliated for being blamed for the war. This caused many Germans to accept the Nazi regime and probably join the army. Germany had little flexibility with its’ army, both in size and actions, due to the restrictions, which caused Germany to begrudge the surrounding countries. The Nazi regime took advantage of what the Germans didn’t like about the Treaty of Versailles, by breaking some aspects of it, in order to gain support and increase their numbers so they could go to war. There are many reasons why the Treaty of Versailles caused World War Two, but there still might have been other causes; just like how Germany was blamed for World War One, it is unfair to put all the blame of the treaty without acknowledging other possible
The Treaty of Versailles is one of the main reasons Hitler rose to power. It saw Germany face territorial losses, reparations of the damaged, which were caused by the war, and is known to be the blame for starting World War I. It provided a rich material for Hitler to use to gain support of the people. The treaty also triggered a process where the
In this speech by Hitler, he talked about his hatred for the Treaty of Versailles and how he planned to abolish it. By the time he presented this speech, World War 2 was already well underway. Hitler spoke about how he hated the Treaty of Versailles and how much he would want to get rid of it even before he gained power. He talked about how it was an injustice to Germany and how it was created to destroy Germany. Hitler was very proud of Germany and wanted Germany to become the powerful country it once was. Hitler was explaining to the people of Germany the actions he took and justifications of his actions towards abolition of the Treaty of Versailles. The speech showed that Hitler, the leader of Germany, had planned to abolish the Treaty of Versailles which weakened Germany immensely. To bring prosperity to Germany again, Hitler decided to reverse everything the treaty had done to Germany. The speech by Hitler showed his pride and there was hint of him rejoicing in his own achievement that he did not just pay lips service, but delivered what he promised the people.
Hitler suggested that Germany needed to unite all Germans under one government, the Reich. Which would be accomplished by force.
World War II began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It was a war for power and is known as the Great War. But what caused such a war? It so happens that the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, was actually the force that drove World War II. The Treaty of Versailles produced German anger and humiliation, sowing the seeds for World War II. It did this through imposing territorial loss, military restrictions, economic reparations, and war guilt (Hook exercise).
The first world war was not caused by any specific event whose nature can be pinpointed and avoided. Instead, an interrelating network of many things led to an environment which caused aggression and allowed it to grow into the tragedy of World War I. At the time, each country’s intense nationalism created an aggressive setting and an underlying desire to go to war and destroy other countries in order to be the best. Militarism and the arms race, fueled by this competition, gave countries the means for mass devastation. In addition, huge alliances with a mixture of smaller and bigger countries had the potential to involve the world’s strongest military powers in a small dispute between obscure countries. This situation all meant the countries created increasingly effective weapons in order to be the best started a war which was further escalated by the
World War One was a war unlike any other before or after; as time went on, countries from all around the world were dragged into European affairs, which led to powers exhausting resources to the fullest extent. Total War required all members of society to contribute and take on jobs of much significance that had lasting effects on culture. Throughout World War One both soldiers and civilians endured similar sufferings; however, the roles of each were significantly different from one another and they were affected by the war in various ways.
World War 1 was an atrocious war that caused millions of deaths and hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations. World War 1 lasted from 1914 to 1919 and rudimentarily, was the fight between the Allied powers and the Central powers. The Allied powers consisted of France, Great Britain, Russia, and Belgium while the Central powers consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. All countries had some participation and damage done throughout World War 1, and the countries who started the war may be obscure. However, there are some countries that can especially be picked out for their contribution and cause for the war. Of course, every country who participated in the war had some sort of reason. Although it wasn’t a single country
PastAfter World War 1 Germany suffered great loss. The Rhineland was demilitarized, the profits of the Saar Province was divided between France and Belgium. German land was given to other nations including Poland. The German society believed this was unfair and wanted their land back. When Adolf Hitler became the supreme dictator of Germany he re militarized the Rhineland and indoctrinated the people. Hitler used propaganda to convince the German citizens that the Aryan race was supreme and he started the mass killing of European Jews. Hitler wanted to rule over the whole of Europe and invaded Poland on the 1st of September 1939 which started the war. Many countries fought against Germany because of alliances. By 1944 the Allies (Canada, America
The beginning of the consequences for Germans started off with territorial loss. In document A, it is shown on a map that the Versailles Treaty caused major land loss to the Germans. The lost land was not just ordinary to the Germans, the resources as well were very valuable. Four major land areas were lost including Alsace, Lorraine, Danzig and Polish Corridor. With the loss of these countries, that also meant a decrease in population because the people living in the four countries were no longer a part of Germany.
The most important cause of WWII is Germany’s territory loss. Document A shows that Germany lost Alsace, Lorraine, and Polish Corridor to the Treaty of Versailles. The loss of Danzig lead Germany to split into two. Germany also lost their coal production. After all these losses, Hitler believed that he needed to take over and lead Germany to help them. The article from Hitler states that “the restoration of the frontiers of 1914 could be achieved only by blood...No nation can remove this hand from its throat except by the sword.” Germany lost many thing due to the Treaty, leading them to look up to Hitler for power and leadership. Hitler believes that war is the only way to regain their losses.
The first world war was started in 1914 and ended in 1918, this was also the first war ever fought on such a large scale in the history of Man kind .it involved thirty-one nations from five different continent.
The most important thing that helped Hitler win over the German public was The Treaty of Versailles because Hitler thought that Germany should have never surrendered.
All wars cause effects on the world which must be accepted, whether they are virtuous or wicked. Some effects can change the social world and the economy. The United States, while under British rule, clashed with the French while the rest of the world prospered. The colonies forced the French out of North America, and in return the British devastated their lives. The devastation created distrust and frequent uprisings between the colonists and the British, thus inspiring the creation of the United States from under another country’s shadow.
After Hitler took a power in Germany, he managed to consolidate his power using his economy policy, gathered destitute Germans together, but also using the propaganda, increasing the support towards him. This increasing mass of supports towards him due to his policy that had increased the employment in a tremendous amount and the use of propaganda that had spread his belief and convinced Germans. However, despite these successful economic policy, the fund raised was purely concentrated on rearmament and still the autarky was not achieved, and his economy policy was just for the violation of Treaty of Versailles. Still, Hitler’s decisions in
