CAUSES:Commonly held general causes for WWII are the rise of nationalism, the rise of militarism, and the presence of unresolved territorial issues. Fascist movements emerged in Italy and Germany during the global economic instability of the 1920s, and consolidated power during the Great Depression of the 1930s. In Germany, resentment of the Treaty of Versailles — specifically article 231 (the "Guilt Clause") —, the belief in the Dolchstosslegende, and the onset of the Great Depression fueled the rise to power of the militarist National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazi party) of which Adolf Hitler was the leader. Meanwhile, the Treaty's provisions were laxly enforced from fear of another war. Closely related is the failure of the British and French policy of appeasement, which sought to avoid or postpone another war but actually encouraged Hitler to become bolder. The USSR's signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact freed Germany of fear of reprisal from the Soviet Union when Germany invaded Poland. The League of Nations, despite its efforts to prevent the war, relied on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions and was unable to prevent the start of The Second World War.

Japan in the 1930s was ruled by a militarist clique devoted to becoming a world power. Japan invaded China in 1937 to bolster its meager stock of natural resources. The United States and Great Britain reacted by making loans to China, providing covert military assistance, and instituting increasingly broad embargoes of raw materials against Japan. These embargoes would have eventually forced Japan to give up its newly conquered possession in China because the Japanese would not have enough fuel to run their war machine. Japan was faced with the choice of withdrawing from China or going to war with the United States in order to conquer the oil resources of the Dutch East Indies. It chose the latter, and went ahead with plans for the Greater East Asia War in the Pacific.
CONSEQUENCES:
Some 62 million people, or 2.5% of the world population, died in the war, though estimates vary greatly. (refer to the Casualties section). The war concluded with the occupation of Germany and Japan. The United Nations was founded in 1945. After World War II, Europe was informally split into Western and Soviet spheres of influence, which set the stage for the Cold War. In Asia however, the defeat of Japan led to its democratization. China's civil war continued, resulting in the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The former colonies of the European powers began their road to independence.
