The war in Europe was a major turning point in 20th Century history. This lecture presentation makes use of existing material on the causes of the war and also helps students analyse some of the considerations that British and French leaders were looking at carefully and which ultimately led them down towards conflict with Hitler.

The League of Nations has often been described by Historians and other social commentators as a failure of diplomacy. This set of slides will (hopefully) provide a balanced view of the League and what it hoped to achieve.

5. CAUSE#1
The Treaty of Versailles
Lloyd George
England
Vittor Orlando
Italy
Georges Clemenceau
France
Woodrow Wilson
U.S
In 1919, these men met to discuss how
Germanywas to be made to pay for the
damage world war one had caused.
6. Germanyhad been expecting a
treaty based on Wilson's 14 points and
were
not happy with the terms of the
Treaty of Versailles.
However, they had no choice but to
10. Hitler's Actions
Adolf Hitler became
Chancellor of Germany in Jan.1933.
Almost immediately he began
secretly
building up Germany's
army & weapons.
In 1934 HE increased the size of the
army, began building warships and created a
German air force. Compulsory military service was
also introduced.
11.
12. Although Britain and France
were aware of Hitler's actions,
they were also concerned about the
rise of Communism
13. Cause #3
Failure of Appeasement
*Appeasement means giving in to someone
provided their demands are seen as
reasonable.
During the 1930s, many politicians in both Britain
and France came to see that the terms of the
Treaty of Versailles had placed restrictions on
Germany that were unfair.
Hitler's actions were seen as
understandable and justifiable.
14. Failure of Appeasement
When Germany began re-arming in
1934, many politicians felt that
Germany had a right to re-arm in
order to protect herself.
16. Failure of Appeasement
The most notable example of
appeasement was
the Munich Agreement of September 1938.
This Munich Agreement was generally
viewed as a triumph and an excellent
example of securing peace through
negotiation
rather than war.
18. Cause#4
The League of Nations
This was an international organisation set up
in 1919 to help keep world peace.
It was intended that all countries would be members of the
League and that if there were disputes between
countries they could be settled by negotiation rather
than by force.
If this failed then countries would stop trading with the
aggressive country and if that failed then countries
would use their armies to fight.
19. Failure of the League of the Nations
In theory the League of Nations was a good idea and did have
some early successes. But ultimately it was a failure.
The main reasons for the failure of the League of Nations can be
summarised into the following points:
• Not all countries joined the League.
Other countries decided not to join and some joined but later left.
• The League had no power.
The main weapon of the League was to ask member countries to
stop trading with an aggressive country. However, this did not work
because countries could still trade with non-member countries.
When the world was hit by depression in the late 1920s countries
were reluctant to lose trading partners to other non-member
countries.
20. • The League had no army.
Soldiers were to be supplied by member countries. However, countries
were reluctant to get involved and risk provoking an aggressive
country into taking direct action against them and failed to provide
troops.
- Unable to act quickly.
The Council of the League of Nations only met four times a year
and decisions had to be agreed by all nations. When countries called
for the League to intervene, the League had to set up an emergency
meeting, hold discussions and gain the agreement of all members.
This process meant that the League could not act
quickly to stop it.
