World War I was the precursor to the second World War. It lasted from 1914-1918. The armistice which followed led to very heavy punishment of Germany which destabilized the country and led to the takeover by Hitler in 1933.

Hitler began a policy of expanding his Third Reich with annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in 1937 and 1938.

His attempt to push into Poland, in concert with the Soviet Union, led to the outbreak of hostilities in September of 1939. France and Britain declared war on Italy and Germany.

France fell in the spring of 1940.

Meanwhile in the Pacific Japan had been waging a war in China through much of the 1930s and saw the preoccupation with Europe as an opportunity to expand its empire in Asia. American sanctions led to the decision by Japan to attack Pearl Harbor in December of 1941.

That gets us up to American entry into the war. That's how it developed.

the other countries were duking it out we did not care and did not wanna be involved,we had trade agreements with both sides of the war then some germans sank one of our ships and it was on and I cant remember the rest only that we bombed japan twice and sent twice the the number of soldiers already fighting to back up the brits and the war pulled us out of a depression. oh this sucks, I should know all of this I am studying this in my history class, but it is from a sociological perspective and I tend to relate to those facts more like how the war affected african americans, women and immigrants and how the red scare affected our country, thanks for asking this question I am going to have to read up on this again, before we take our next test

The French, Belgians (neutrals), Dutch, Danish, Norwegians, British Channel Islanders have been liberated from occupation by capacity of an aggressive German military. many countries in Asia and the Pacific have been liberated from occupation by capacity of an aggressive jap military. Barbaric and savage behaviour replaced into stopped against the Jews and different victims of the Holocaust. 2 brutish, imperialistic regimes have been stopped. Colonialism in its worst type, 2 hundred years previously, replaced into on no account as undesirable as this. worry-loose human freedoms have been restored throughout the time of Western Europe and Asia How a lot extra justification do you like? The Russians have been area of the reason of WW2 (alliance with Germany and invasion of Poland) and that they did no longer restoration the freedoms in jap Europe. they only fought the Germans after Hitler attacked them - yet it incredibly is a distinctive political ideology and had no bearing on the excuses for the west going to conflict. EDIT: lots of the land Hitler took - France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, British Channel Islands, Czechoslovakia etc weren't in any respect German and weren't taken away on the tip of WW2. Poland replaced into restored by capacity of the Treaty of Versailles in spite of the indisputable fact that it replaced into Polish previously Germany got here into existence in 1871, so i'm afraid it incredibly is a bad argument.
