However, it failed to do so for a number of reasons, mainly the absence of Russia and the US leaving the League without sufficient military power to enforce their goals. This meant people like Mussolini could blindly disregard their demands without fear of consequences. The League that was meant as a way to ensure peace became nothing more than an object of laugh and resent further destabilizing Europe. During the aftermath of the Great War, Germany felt betrayed by the actions in Versailles. As a result, discontent brewed within Germany herself.
The British Foreign Policy in the years 1937-1939 was a disaster. The policy in which they had used may have appeared a triumph at the time in 1937-39 however it is clear that it was a major disaster and it had failed to achieve its goal of securing peace across Europe with the start of the 2nd World War in 1939. The British Foreign Policy’s main cause for disaster was the idea of Appeasement. This policy in which a country would give in to the demands of an opposing aggressive leader in order to avoid any chance of war happening. This is exactly what Britain decided to do in order to deal with Adolf Hitler’s demands of taking back Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.
What nded World War 1 was the Treaty of Versailles passed by the Allied Powers, many believe this to also be the starting point of World War 2. Through research I plan on showing how World War 2 is a continuation of world war 1 and not a separate war all together. World War 1 would end with the defeat of the Central Powers which included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and The Ottoman Empire by the hand of Allied Powers including Great Britain, France and Russia. As a result of losing the war the allied victors planned to punish Germany by placing a strict set of restrictions and rules against them; named the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty placed blame solely on Germany resulting in loss of the Rhineland, also Germany had to demilitarize and pay back billions to allies as part of war reparations[1].
Churchill believed that in order to guarantee the security of Czechoslovakia, Europe should have held Germany back and Britain and France should have worked together as an alliance. George F. Kennan, an American Secretary of State during the cold war also disagreed with the Munich Agreement. Kennan thought that Chamberlain and Daladier only agreed with Germany’s proposal only because they didn’t want to participate in war. Chamberlain and Daladier wanted to maintain the peace in Europe. (Document 6) As written in The Origins of the Second World War, by A.J.P.
As well, the only way that the Wilson plan would have survived the political intrigue of the Europeans was either through a league that had real teeth, or a super power willing to intervene as a worldwide police officer. Neither of which existed in 1918. Clemenceau’s views represented the average sentiment of the European Allies after the war. In the closing days of the war, a war weary European population must have tried to make sense of the carnage, of the loss. Clemenceau casts a pale light on the German population, blaming the war on the aims of “the intolerable German Aristocracy.” (Clemenceau, p. 73) The entire argument for the French and nay, European view, was the perceived threat that Europeans felt of German arrogance.
They are many factors on why did Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933. World War one, treaty of Versailles, fear of communist and the great depression are the main reason on Hitler became Chancellor. The Germans sighted the treaty of Versailles 1919 after losing Great War, although they believed they treaty was harsh they had no choice either sign it or the country getting invaded. The Germans called the treaty Diktat as it was being forced on them and the Germans had no choice but to sign it. One thing the Germans were not happy in the treaty of Versailles is the War Guilt Clause, take blame for the war.
However eventually the treaty became ineffective and ultimately was the main cause of World War 2. Richard Jones-Nerzic’s statement that the treaty ‘did a remarkably good job’ can only be considered true when looking at the short term effects , but overall the treaty created horrific outcomes. The Treaty of Versailles initially achieved its aims as Richard Jones-Nerzic stated. Germany had to agree to numerous terms including; war guilt, reparations, limited armies, loss of colonies as well as the creation of the League of Nations. All of the terms weakened Germany as the Allies wanted to prevent another war and knew that Germany was the greatest threat.
You cannot build up a standing army and then throw it back into a box like tin soldiers. "If this was the true feeling of militarism in America, then militarism assuredly played a role in America entering the war, because America may have subconsciously wanted to prove their strength by helping in this conflict.All in all, there is not one, certain reason that completely explains why America entered World War I. However, there are many reasons, that when combined, form a very reasonable explanation as to why Americans entered the war. This explanation includes events varying from being attacked by outside countries while they were making an attempt at neutrality, to America's relations with Britain, and even inclusive of the possibility that America may have only been trying to prove something to themselves. Conclusively, America entered the Great War because of a variety of reasons.
Both soldiers and civilians blame the defeats in the war and the growing crises on the home front on Tsar. Even the Tsars only army stated it wouldn’t support him if a revolution occurred. Explain the importance/significance of World War 1 to the downfall of the Tsar WWI was a very significant event on the rule of Tsar Nicholas 11. Although it initially bolstered his position, it then became a large factor that contributed to Nicholas’ downfall. The Country was ecstatic when the Tsar made the announcement that Russia was going to fight against Germany in WWI.
The treaty added to Germany losing six million inhabitants and essential resources that contributed to their exports and in turn the economy. The Weimar Republic was blamed for these outcomes by other political parties and the German people. The treaty ensured that Germany would become a republic which the German people were not ready for; this only pushed them to follow Hitler and the Nazi party. Germany also had no experience of a genuine
