Explain the origins of World War 2?

Question

Can someone explain the origins of World War 2

Answer 1

A lot of WWII came from the ashes of WWI and the crushing reparation burden Germany toiled under, plus the worldwide depression of the early 30s

Answer 2

Yes. I can. In 1938, Germany was a total dictatorship under the Nazi Party and Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Although the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I had imposed strict disarmament terms on Germany, by the late 1930s, Hitler had dropped all pretense of observing the terms of the treaty. He began not only to rebuild his military rapidly, but also to speak openly of Germany’s need for lebensraum, or “living space.”In March 1938, offering little in the way of justification, Nazi troops took control Austria, which put up no resistance. Hitler claimed that the annexation was supported by his doctrine of Anschluss, or natural political unification of Germany and Austria. Though gravely disturbed, Britain and France took no action. Shortly thereafter, Hitler demanded that Czechoslovakia cede to Germany the Sudetenland, a territory along the German-Czech border. Hitler accused the Czechs of repressing the large German population there and asserted that the territory rightly belonged to Germany.
The September 1938 Munich Conference was called to address the situation; ironically, Czechoslovakia was not present. After several rounds of negotiation, and despite their own treaties with Czechoslovakia, Britain and France agreed to give in to Hitler’s demand, as long as he agreed not to seize any further European territory. Hitler did sign an agreement to that effect, promising no further invasions.
After taking the Sudetenland, however, Hitler ignored the agreement and proceeded to occupy most of western Czechoslovakia, along with several other territories in eastern Europe. Britain and France again took no action. This policy of appeasement of Hitler’s demands, which was advocated primarily by British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, has been much criticized as paving the road to World War II.

Answer 3

First, you've put a question mark at the end of a command. You really need to do some basic reading on the most important conflict of the 20th century. I am appalled at the lack of basic knowledge. The origins of WW2 are complex but began with the invasion of Poland by Germany. The invasion of Hawaii's Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 marked the formal introduction of the United States into the war. Please, please learn some basics of some extremely important history.

Answer 4

Germany lost World war one; world war two started as a result of Hitler attempting to reclaim Germany's pride as a nation by taking back a portion of land known as the Sudetenland located in Czhekoslavakia; this land was inhabited mostly by Germans and was under the Bohemian crown rule. Under this rule the German people in that "state" or area wanted to be recognized as "Alpine Germans"; their culture and language were German.

Germany's economy was in shambles and Germany had little national pride.

Hitler felt the Sudetenland belonged to Germany based on this. In March, 1938 Hitler took Austria and set his sights on the Sudetenland next; the Sudentenland Germans demanded unity with Germany in September 1938 as Czechoslavakians were treating Germans badly; on Sept 22nd, 1938, The Sudentenland was handed over to Hitler without firing a shot;
Hitler wanted Poland next in a year later, Sept 1939, he took it. Hitler then declaired the 1000 year Third Riech as he marched across the Sudentenland claiming it as Germany.

As Hitler took Poland in three short weeks he settled back looking to England as his next conquest. To date, nobody stood up to Hitler and gave him what he wanted. I sense thgis was because 20 years prior the world delt withy ww1 and everyone was weary of another war with GERMANY.

Hitler attempted negotiations with England, Hitler recognized England as a "Nordic" country and did not want to fight fellow Nordes as he wanted England on Germany's side. England stood fast and remained away from German politics; Hitler responded by bombing England and attacking English ships at sea; England delcared war on Germany.

By 1942 WW2 was almost in full swing; Hitler decided to attack on two fronts by remaining engauged with England at war and by attacking Russia to the North. Hitler had to much going on at one time for his own appetite.

This was a huge mistake. German troops advanced to Stalingrad in May 1942 and remained in combat there (by mistake) until winter set in; with 6 months Germany lost 95% of it's 3rd Army with 300,000 killed at Stalingrad. Out of those left on ly 5000 retrurn to Germany some 6-7 years after wars end.

By midwar, around 1943 Hitler found a new enemy, the Jews. Hitler began attacking jews much earlier but by this time openly declaired Jews as responsible for Germany's problems and the killing increased ten fold.

This timeline is a basic origin of that war and how Hitler Pursued it and why; it is actually more complex but this is a fair answer.
