In my opinion, the ruinous reparations that Germany was forced to pay. These trashed the German economy, led to the most devastating inflation that the world has ever seen, and encouraged the rise of Hitler. There is a fun story about the inflation. One day, a man took a wheelbarrow full of money down to the store to buy a loaf of bread. Rather than wrestle the wheelbarrow through the door, he went in to the store to do the deal, leaving the wheelbarrow outside. When he went back out, he found that someone had stolen the wheelbarrow -- and dumped the money. The currency was finally stabilized with the issuance of new banknotes, in which one new mark was worth one trillion of the old ones. Collectors can get the old banknotes for cheap; the usual denomination is 100,000,000 marks.

Well, the Treaty of Versailles was one thing and then the economic strangulation of the Allies upon Germany in the post war era, but that means nothing if Hitler who was wounded twice would have died from his injuries.. By the way it was his survival that he survived while the rest of his company were wiped out in the war that gave Hitler one of his first glimpses that he was a manof destiny , messiah for Germany.

Aside from the harsh economic and social ostracization of Germany by the rest of Europe, which led to the instability of the Weimar Republic, the survival of Corporal Hitler was probably the biggest factor.

The most important battles were the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, the battle at which the Americans started forcing the Japanese back, and reducing their forces greatly. The main cause was over resources, Japan was threatened by the Western powers after World War 1s treaty forced them to reduce the size of their navy etc. Increasing tensions with America led to reductions in oil supply (Japan is very resource poor) and so they went on the offensive to find and secure new resources, in China, Korea and finally the Pacific.
