World War II??

Question

Some historians maintains that Wolrd War II was a continuation of World War I. Please list some arguments supporting this ideas.(fastest awnsers get the points<3)

Answer 1

Well I would have to agree with that mainly because Hitler used that in his early speeches saying that Europe had taken away soo much from Germany and made their economy what it was at the time. Germany's answer to being punished was to show the world that it could come back from basically poverty and conquer the world with their superiority.

Answer 2

of World War II are generally viewed as having its roots in the aftermath of the First World War (1914-1918). In that war Imperial Germany under the nationalistic Kaiser Wilhelm II had been defeated along with its allies, chiefly by a combination of the United Kingdom, United States and France. The war was directly blamed by the victors on the militant nationalism of the Kaiser's Germany; it was Germany that effectively started the war with an attack on France through Belgium.

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 World War I,

Many people view World War II as a continuation of World War I. Firstly, some believe that the Versailles Treaty, drafted at the conclusion of the World War I, failed to set up the parameters which may have prevented the Second.

World War I lacked a dramatically decisive conclusion. Allied troops had not entered Germany and its people anticipated a treaty along the lines of the Fourteen Points. This meant the German people argued that had the 'traitors' not gone and surrendered to the Allies, Germany could have gone on to win the war, however unlikely the reality. This peace proposal was largely abandoned in favor of punishing Germany for its alleged "war responsibility", an ineffective compromise that left Germany smaller, weaker and embittered, but capable of rebounding and seeking revenge.

Large groups of nationalistic minorities still remained trapped in other nations. For example, Yugoslavia (originally the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) had 5 major ethnic groups (the Serbs, Croats, Macedons, Montenegrins, and the Slovenes), and it was created after the war. Other examples abound in the former lands of Austria-Hungary which were divided up quite arbitrarily and unfairly after the war. For example, Hungary was held responsible for the war and stripped of two thirds of its territory while Austria, which had been an equal partner in the Austro-Hungarian government, had its territory expanded.

The Germans had a difficult time accepting defeat. At the end of the war, the navy was in a state of mutiny, and the army was retreating (but not routing) in the face of an enemy with more men and material. Despite this reality, some Germans, notably Hitler, advanced the idea that the army would somehow have triumphed if not for the German Revolution at home. This "Stab in the Back" theory was used to convince the people that a second world war would be winnable.

Answer 3

After the Great War,the Germans were ordered to scrap their navy and pay huge reparations to the Allies. With germany going further and further into debt,this gave Adolf Hitler and the Nazis a leg to stand on by looking for a scapegoat to blame Germany's financial ills on. It turned out to be the Jews who became Hitler's target.
In the Pacific, Japan was implementing it's expansionism over Asia.And, one of it's main target was Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the Phillipine Islands.

Answer 4

the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War One forced the Germans to pay massive reparations to the victors. This put enormous strain on the German economy, which promptly collapsed. The environment of economic hardship and resentment this created was exactly what Hitler needed to gain power on a platform of returning Germany to glory. Many of his early goals were the reclaiming of lands lost in WW1. And once the ball got rolling, he just kept going until the whole world was at war again.

Answer 5

The war reparations that Germany had to pay after World War One did lay the foundation for another war. By making Germany weak and poor economically, the German citizens were easily gravitated to a good speaker like Hitler, regardless of all his ideas.

Answer 6

international conflict II began many times through fact the yank human beings have been unwilling to connect the League of countries on the tip of international conflict I, thereby removing what could have been that enterprise's considerable militia potential. This led to, or allowed a minimum of, Hitler's upward thrust to potential in Germany. there have been various factors at which he became thoroughly overextended and any form of a teach of rigidity by way of the League or perhaps only a number of its member countries might have placed an end to his plans, however the different eu powers continuously caved in to him, appeasing him at only approximately each and every turn and allowing the territory, manpower and uncooked aspects under his rule to continuously boost. Then whilst the Friendship %. between Germany and Russia became signed, his decrease back became coated and he could desire to attack, first Poland and then the international places to the west. American isolationism became the main considerable reason.

Answer 7

Well the first and the main position for - is that Germany was on the same side and it's aggression provoked WWII. The second one is that Germany again tried to become an Empire again and it was the main reason for starting first and the second world wars. Hope I've helped somehow)

Answer 8

The only way you can really link yhe two is that harsh conditions imposed on Germany following the war led to a situation that lead Hitler to rise to power.

Answer 9
