Answers
The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I between Germany and the Allied Powers. Because Germany had lost the war, the treaty was very harsh against Germany. Germany was forced to "accept theresponsibility" of the war damages suffered by the Allies.
a. Hitler’s Aims
To unite German speaking people (using NSD which had been denied at the Treaty of Versailles.
He wanted lebensraum (living space) in order to gain self-sufficiency (autarky)
He wanted to dominate Europe and the World
To achieve any of these aims would involve breaking the Treaty of Versailles (28/6/1919), and this could lead to war.
b. The aggression of Hitler’s Allies
Italy – Mussolini wanted a Fascist-Roman empire in the Mediterranean and Africa (e.g. Abyssinian invasion in 1935.)
Japan – Japan wanted a Nipponese empire in the Pacific, extending into China and Australia (e.g. Manchurian invasion in 1931)
Germany, Italy and Japan were hostile to Communism (USSR), and this way a cause of war and vice versa.
c. Democratic powers were passive
USA – Isolated
France – France was unlikely, and reluctant, to intervene against Germany, because she could not rely on Britain’s and America’s support.
Britain – Between 1934 and 1937, Britain was sympathetic to German recovery. Between May 1937 and March 1939, Britain appeased Germany.
These powers could have stopped Fascist aggression earlier than 1939.
d. The League of Nations failed to keep peace
