What is the real causes of ww2?

Answer 1

The Treaty of Versailles

Answer 2

Actually, WWI is one of the causes of WWII. The penalties placed on Germany were so harsh that it bankrupted the country and caused great hardship to the German people, not to mention ill-will. It destabilized the country, allowing Hitler to take power. He began by taking back sections of Europe which the Allies had forced Germany to give up, and kept going. At first, the other governments of Europe turned a blind eye, hoping to appease him, because they didn't want to undergo another devastating war. But it became obvious that he would not be appeased when he invaded Poland, so other nations in Europe declared war on him.

The U.S. at first stayed out of the war. We helped Britain through the lend-lease act, in which we built numerous ships and armaments, and "loaned" all of them to England. But when we were attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, we immediately declared war on Japan. There was an agreement between Germany and Japan that if one nation were invaded, the other would defend it, and Hitler declared war on us after we declared war on Japan, even though we hadn't invaded Japan.

Answer 3

Effectively, it was a continuation of World War I. The Germans felt that they had a bad deal at the end of that war and hadn't really lost. Then Hitler came to power and articulated to frustrations the German people felt and the rest, as they say, is history.

Answer 4

World War II (abbreviated WWII), or the Second World War, was a worldwide conflict fought between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, from 1939 until 1945. Armed forces from over seventy nations engaged in aerial, naval, and ground-based combat. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over sixty million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. The war ended in 1945 with an Allied victory.

Causes
The immediate Causes of World War II are generally held to be the German invasion of Poland, and the Japanese attacks on China, the United States, and the British and Dutch colonies. In each of these cases, the attacks were the result of a decision made by authoritarian ruling elites in Germany and Japan. World War II started after these aggressive actions were met with an official declaration of war, armed resistance or both.

The Nazi Party came to power in Germany by democratic means, although after acquiring power they eliminated most vestiges of Germany's democratic system. The reasons for their popularity included their renouncement of the Treaty of Versailles (particularly Article 231, known as the "Guilt Clause"), which had placed many restrictions on Germany since the end of the World War I; staunch anti-communism; the Dolchstosslegende; and promises of stability and economic reconstruction. They also appealed to a sense of Germanic identity, superiority and entitlement, which would play an important role in starting the war, as they demanded the integration of lands they considered to be rightfully belonging to Germany. Hitler was portrayed by himself, his party, and his book Mein Kampf as an almost otherworldly savior for the German people.

Imperial Japan in the 1930s was largely ruled by a militarist clique of Army and Navy leaders, devoted to Japan becoming a world colonial power. Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937 to bolster its meager stock of natural resources and extend its colonial control over a wider area. The United States and the United Kingdom reacted by making loans to China, providing covert military assistance, pilots and fighter aircraft to Kuomintang China and instituting increasingly broad embargoes of raw materials and oil against Japan. These embargoes would potentially have eventually forced Japan to give up its newly conquered possessions in China or find new sources of oil and other materials to run their economy. Japan was faced with the choice of withdrawing from China, negotiating some compromise, developing new sources of supply, buying what they needed some where else, or going to war to conquer the territories that contained oil, bauxite and other resources in the Dutch East Indies, Malay and the Philippines. Believing the French, Dutch and British governments more than occupied with the war in Europe, the Soviets reeling from German attacks and that the United States could not be organized for war for years and would seek a compromise before waging full scale war, they chose the latter, and went ahead with plans for the Greater East Asia War in the Pacific.

The direct cause of the United States' entry into the war with Japan was the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Germany declared war on the United States on December 12, 1941.

Answer 5

to many things to list. my guess is the economic penalties placed on the German for WWI were a factor. This helped Hitler attain power and with that he was able to restore a sense of national pride and defaulted on the debt. Once in power he was able to push his agenda.

Answer 6

it all started on September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and Britain and France declared war on them because German forces captured and brutally murdered thousands of Polish officers!

Answer 7

Treaties and backdoor agreements. Countries formed alliances, which allowed agressive nations to take agressive actions, knowing that their friends would back them or bail them out.
