I need to know the actual cause of ww2
After WW1, Germany had to pay dearly for the part they played in the war. A treaty was signed called Treaty of Versailles. Germany was told to pay a huge sum. The lands captured by Germany during the Prussia(former Germany)- France war was returned to France.
Hitler, a young soldier who was temporarily blind at the end of WW1 couldn't take it. He suddenly became a leader. He gave great speeches about how they were treated unfairly and how he was going to take the lost lands back.
Meanwhile, Prime minister Neil Chamberlain refused to take action as a result of Appeasement.
Hitler took over Austria, the sundentenland region of Czechoslovakia. Hitler was warned not to further because if he did, they would wage war on Germany. He formed a temporary alliance with the Soviet Union and invaded Poland. He disobeyed the warning and attacked Poland from the West and Soviet Union attacked from the west.
Clearly, appeasement wasn't working and with that, other countries declared war on Germany and with that WW2 started on September 1, 1939

The painful and very irritating aspect is Dr Josef Mengele escaped prosecution. He reported died peacefully on a farm in a country far away from Germany

Hitler never had any children neither was he ever married. He only had a live-in concubine, Eva Braun (the merry widow).

Explorers:
WWI introduced the widespread use of the machine gun, a weapon Hiram Maxim patented in the U.S. in 1884. The Maxim weighed about 100 pounds and was water cooled. It could fire about 450 - 600 rounds per minute. Most machine guns used in WWI were based on the Maxim design.
'The Maxim Gun Spits Death'. That was the headline used in a foreign newspaper to describe the decimation of African armies during the European pacification of pre-colonial Africa.

Hitler didn't HIDE around and he didn't blow up innocent civillians because they had different religions. He didn't run and hide and behave like a coward.

He fought the war like a man!!

He invaded countries with SOLDIERS; not innocent civillians with bombs strapped to them undecided


And when the end came; He took the hard way out.

I need to know the actual cause of ww2
First and foremost Germany lost iys pride and prestige in WWI and wanted to regain it.. They believed Germans were of higher race and Jews were to be annihilated... They invaded Poland on 1st of September days later Britain and France declared war on Germany.. Adolf Hitler, with his rousing speeches made the Germans see themselves as a god.. The power of Charisma

Japan (who regarded itself as 'The land of the rising sun) also wanted to expand its territory and did this by annexing smaller states although it had already started a war with China before 1939. Japan was too cocky and thought it was the most powerful nation that it attacked Pear Harbour (an American Naval base) This marked America's entry into the war.. One can say thay Japan bit off more than it could chew


Italy followed in the way of Germany but did not have the firepower Germany had so it was soon crushed


In Germany, Jews were killed in their Millions, in death camps and being used as experiments notably was a Nazi Doctor, Josef Mengele. Who used children as experiments. He would use twins as experiments and sew them back together..

WW2 was and is still the deadilest war.. The whole world was in a state of war

Wait, are you for real? Hitler? Dude was responsible for the deadliest war in history....Hitler had no true knowledge of the situation thats why Germany lost the battle of Normandy and Hitler made decisions because he had no knowledge at the situation on ground thats why he lost the War.. I am not saying that I am happy he lost though... He said that after conquering the world, Africa would be his plantation







I am not saying terrorists are saints but all I am saying is that Comparing Hitler to terrorists is like comparing the Devil to a thief.. Both are evil but one is a lesser evil

I'm not arguing whether or not Hitler was a saint.
He was a bastard that killed millions of jews, everyone knows that.

I'm just saying it's wrong to compare him to a terrorist.
He fought a real war...,,not the cowardly dance terrorists do nowadays..

A real war? He was responsible for the Killing of over 6 million Jews. He made children orphans... Do you even know what caused the second world war? Children were used as experiments... Google images of WW2 and tell me what is 'real about the war' If you claim he fought a real war why did he commit suicide before the Allies got to him.. The systematic killings of the Jews, Bombing of other countries.. plunging young men to their death. Dude was living in his own reality until he was brought down to earth... Adolf Hitler hated Jews but he was a Jew himself... Hitler's Neo Nazi corroborators also commited suicide notably Himmler... Google WW2!

Err, dude, the allies were not exactly white knights either.
The events leading to worldwar II was engineered by the allies.

Dude, for the second time, I'm not claiming Hitler fought nice. I'm simply saying he did not hide under innocent kids or employ brainwashed bombers.

The USA employed chemical weapons "Agent Orange" that deformed kids in Vietnam war.... Yet, no one shouts about that.

I beg to differ rather I'd say the Allies turned a blind eye to Italy and Germany's invasion of states thats why they were so cocky.. Yeah and innocent kids were brainwashed if not how can you believe that you can conquer the whole world; plus continents - the whole of Europe is it not brainwashing

Tsk, no, the Allies did much more in enigineering WW II.
Remember the treaty of Versailles The constant subjugation of Germans in their own territory The fact that they IGNORED the Nazi party long after they had started rounding up and killing Jews Need I say more

Oh, and err... Hitler almost damned near succeding in conquering Europe.
He conquering Czech, Poland, France....

If not for Operation Babarossa, they still had a chance.
If he had paired with Stalin; Europe was definitely gone.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call it greed. Hitler thought Russia was backward, unadvanced and could not withstand Germany's military might.
And to his credit, he successfully invaded Russia, even though he failed in conquering it.....


Exactly. It was the horrible underhanded proposal the Allies forced the Germans to sign after their defeat in WWI that spawned WW II.
If not for that, Nazi's and Hitler would never have come about...

Hitler made three fatal mistakes in the invasion of the USSR.
1. He failed (or refused) to concentrate all his forces on the realization of his most important objective: the capture of Moscow.
2. He underestimated the size of the world's largest country. Same thing Napoleon did in the 19th century.
3. He invaded as a conqueror rather than as a liberator to a people who were suffering under Stalin's iron rule.
