what was the cause of ww1 and ww2?

Answer 1

THE GERMANS

Answer 2

WW1 began when Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated in Serbia.This gave the Austrians and excuse to make very unrealistic demands on the serbians and threatened war if they did not comply.Serbia was in an alliance with Russia who began to mobilize in case it was needed to intervene on the side of Serbia.Seeing this the Germans were incensed and immediately beagan to mobilize their army.This was not too long after the Franco-Prussian war so When France saw that Germany had mobilized,she also mobilized.So basically the entire continent was in arms over the assassination of some 3rd rate duke of Austria.
As for WW2 the answer is very simple. Adolph Hitler was the cause of WW2.Although some people may blame it on the harsh conditions put upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.In 1939 Germany invaded Poland whom Britain had sworn to defend.The rest is history.

Answer 3

The Austrian Hungarian Empire caused WW1: invaded Serbia because a Prince was assassinated.
WW2 was caused by the French collaborating with the Germans after they had invaded Poland.

Answer 4

The germans did not start the first world war, it began when an important man from the austria-hungarian empire was shot in serbia. this lead russia to get angry with austria, who were allied with germany, and thats how germany entered the great war.

the second world war was started by the germans after hitler came to power. this evil man would not have come to power if at the end of the first world war germany was not blamed for the first and had cruel laws emposed on it.

this subject is so rich in history and true fact that wiki would be the best place to start.

to many, they were the same war, with a cease fire imbetween, all that 'ended' the first war was an armistice. many believe the war did not end till the end of the cold war as this war was a direct effect of the second world war.

to be nit picky, the second world war did not end till 1991 when east and west germany were re-unified, after all war was declared on germany, at the end 1945 germany did not exist, so peace was made with germany in 1991!!!

btw way, the wars did not start when the USA entered them, we were fighting and dieing long before they came in!

Answer 5

WWI was started because the countries of Europe had built up a huge arms race and had no way of letting the pressure to war go down (we now use the UN for this). So one little spark (assasination of Archduke Ferdinand)caused the powderkeg to go up, with binding treaties forcing countries who could care less about Ferdinand to go to war.
WWII- The peace treaty that ended WWI, was so bad for Germany that when the Great Depression came around the radical Nazi party was taken seriously and elected to power. Hitler (leader of the Nazis) eventually rebuilt Germany and slowly started to violate the sections of the treaty that kept the peace. He eventually went on a war of conquest with Japan and Italy, his allies.

Answer 6

The same, power.
Along European history there was always some country or people trying to unify Europe under one´s command.
Rome, Charles Magno, Spain, Napoleon, Hitler ....
Now we have yo finish with this for good, by uniting Europe as a Union of States.

Answer 7

Widespread imperialism that was fueled by nationalism started WW1. After WW1 ended and Germany lay in ruin, wealthy outsiders, mostly Jews, came in and took things over. Germany realized what was happening in their country (and throughout the western world), and decided to defend their country from invaders. They went too far, however, in attempting to build an empire solely for the purpose of vengeance.

Answer 8

It all comes down to the German people wanting to get out from under the strangle hold of the JEWS.
We here in the USA will have to do this soon or the JEWS will have us in WW3.
They are starting to realize that the educated American middle class of people here are starting to ask questions about who is really running this government. You can see one way they are fighting back, it's by watering down the educated voters by overrunning the country with immigrants, legal and illegal.
Jews rule.

Answer 9

Stupidity

Answer 10

I would say it is the German's who have like this Inferiority Complex for some reason..so they prove who they are..with violence...which of course is like a misunderstanding..people really should have nurtured Germany's Next Generation of Children..and still should so..no more War's start up..

Answer 11

Simplicity is the right answer always.
The reason was Stupidity of the human race. Animals kill for food or teritory, and why did we kill??
Why are we still having wars if we have our most perfect, "supreme" brain???
