Causes of World War II
The death and destruction of World War I was so
horrible that it was called “the war to end all wars.”
Yet, the agreement to end World War I did not resolve
the problems of the world and, according to some
historians, lead directly to the next catastrophe:
World War II. The major causes of World War II were
numerous. They include the impact of the Treaty of
Versailles following WWI, the worldwide economic
depression, failure of appeasement, the rise of
militarism in Germany and Japan, and the failure
of the League of Nations.

Treaty of Versailles
- Following World War I, the victorious Allied Powers
- met to decide Germany’s future. Germany would be
- forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
Failure of Appeasement
- Appeasement meant agreeing to the demands of another nation in order to avoid conflict.
- During the 1930s, politicians in Britain and France began to believe that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair to Germany and that Hitler’s actions were understandable and justifiable. This belief, adopted by Britain, was the Policy of Appeasement. An example of appeasement was the
- Munich Agreement of September 1938. In the Agreement, Britain and France allowed Germany to annex areas in Czechoslovakia where German-speakers lived. Germany agreed not to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia or any other country. In March 1939,
- Germany broke its promise and invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia. Neither Britain nor
- France was prepared to take military action. Then, on September 1, 1939, German troops invaded Poland. Britain and France immediately declared war on Germany. World War II had begun in Europe.
Economic Depression
- The whole world was hit by an economic depression in the late 1920s. In a depression, economies shrink, trade is re-
duced, businesses close, prices fall, banks fail, and unemployment rises. Sometimes during a depression, people look for a strong political leader to resolve their problems. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany by promising to restore German wealth and power.
Germany’s Militarism
- Hitler immediately began secretly building up Germany’s army and weapons. Although Britain and France knew of Hitler’s
- Actions, they thought a stronger Germany would stop the spread of Communism from Russia. In 1936 Hitler ordered
- German troops to enter the German-speaking areas of the Rhineland (France), Austria, and Czechoslovakia.
- Neither France nor Britain was prepared to go to war. In 1936, Hitler made alliances with Italy and Japan. The military alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan was called the Axis Powers.
- To accept guilt for the war and to pay reparations. Germany lost territory and was prohibited from having a large military.
