World war 2?

Question

WHAT ACTIONS usa AND IT'S EUROPEAN ALIES COULD HAVE TAKEN TO PREVENT WORLD WAR 2

Answer 1

armed the jews with the best stuff of the day the way we do now

Answer 2

Could have taken Hitler out in the very begining. The Natzis were building up a very large military, intimidating its sorrounding countries. Much like the situation now with terrorism, it was wait and hope something doesn't happen, or take him out early. Again much of the world hesitated and millions more died as a result.

Answer 3

The U.S. would have been successful in stopping France and Britain from punishing Germany with monetary fines. This created deep resentment and hatred among Germans, especially after The Great Depression hit. Germans were often starving. There were riots in the streets among warring political factions and Hitler and his Brown Shirts won.

Answer 4

World War 2 came because of WW1.
If World War 1 would of not happen WW2 neither.

Answer 5

Wow, I didn't realize you had asked this same question in several different fora...as for what golgofrinchian said, I had almost forgotten--The Treaty of Versailles! Of course! In my first college history class, the professor proclaimed this as a major cause of WWII. Indeed, this is cited by Hitler himself as the fulminating illness behind his need to strike back--The November Criminals who stripped Germany of so much. Many Germans felt this way, and it wasn't hard for him to harp upon that common string in order to call them to his banner. I also wonder how much of the knowledge about the Holocaust is hindsight and how much foresight? Hitler lined out his opinions on the Jews in his work, Mein Kampf, which was published long before he came to power. I wonder how many people foresaw just how serious he was about his vision of the pure Aryan race. So many German people just didn't see it coming; so many outside Germany didn't see it. How can one prevent something of this sort?

Answer 6

Not allowed NAZI Germany the freedoms they gave it. We turned our heads and ignored what Hitler was doing until it was almost too late. They built an army which broke one of the treaties from WW1, they invaded nations broke another rule...we let them do it and didnt crush hitler when we should have.

Answer 7

They tried the Treaty of Versailles but that failed, I think that it actually made things worse:

The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, after the First World War in hopes of preventing future wars and aggression. In reality, however, the treaty only made the losers of WWI angry and became a major cause of WWII. Germany had lost a lot of their land and was forced to pay a lot of money to the Allies. As a result, Germany was hit especially hard during the Depression in 1929 and wanted to take back its land and regain lost pride.

National Socialism, also known as Nazism, was founded in 1920 and led by Adolf Hitler. By 1933, the party had gained control of the German state and established a dictatorship. Hitler blamed all of Germany’s problems on the Versailles Treaty, as well as other races (specifically the Jews).

The Treaty of Versailles also created the League of Nations to keep peace and prevent war. The United States decided not to join, so Great Britain and France were the two major countries involved. They were unwilling to fight foreign wars because of their losses in WWI. This gave aggressors like Italy, Japan, and Germany the chance to expand their territory in the late 1920’s and 1930’s. Hitler watched as Japan attacked Manchuria and the League of Nations did nothing to stop them. He also watched as Italy invaded Ethiopia, and once again, the League sat aside. So Hitler became convinced that the League would do nothing to stop him either.

In 1935, Hitler began to rebuild the German army. A year later, that army crossed the Rhineland, imitating the actions of aggressors such as Italy and Japan. By the end of 1938, Austria had been taken by Germany and Hitler was demanding the Sudetenland (half of Czechoslovakia). Once again, Great Britain and France did nothing to stop German expansion, fearing another war. However, they did sign the Munich Agreement, making Hitler promise he would take no more land after the Sudetenland. In March of 1939, Hitler broke the agreement and took the rest of Czechoslovakia. Great Britain and France were shocked and knew they had to interfere if he took any more territory in Europe. They were forced to take action when Hitler decided to invade Poland, a nation that Great Britain had promised to defend. They declared war on Germany two days later.

Japan’s attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, brought the US into the war. In support of Germany’s fellow Axis Power, Hitler immediately declared war on the US.

In June of 1944, Allies invades German-held France and were able to retake Paris by August. A German counteroffensive almost succeeded in retaking Belgium, but was beaten back after heavy fighting with Allied reinforcements as what became known as the Battle of the Bulge. In April of 1945, Soviets conquered German capital after house-to-house fighting in Berlin. Hitler committed suicide on May 2, 1945, and five days later, German government issued unconditional surrender to Allied forces. Today, this is known as V-E Day, or Victory in Europe.

Answer 8

the reason the japanese attacked pearl harbor was because we stopped selling them oil and they have none of there own. the reason hitler came to power is because the league of nation screwed the germans after world war one. you reap what you sow

Answer 9

like Bush, you should concentrate on Iraq, and Afghanistan, and why the US is loosing,, stop looking backwards at FDR and the fact that the US won in WW11,,, it ain't happening now,, the US can't prevent the fact that Bush invaded the wrong country
