World War I
World War I was a global war that began in 1914 and ended in 1918. It involved many of the world's leading powers at the time which were divided into two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Central Powers. Tensions had been building in Europe for many years due to militarism, imperialism, nationalism, and a system of overlapping alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists triggered a chain reaction that led to the war. The war was fought mainly in trenches along the Western Front and resulted in massive casualties with no clear winner until the United States joined the Allies in 1917. After years of devastating total war, the Allies emerged victorious, resulting
The Build up to War
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after capitalizing on resentment over the weak Weimar government and Great Depression. He became chancellor in 1933 and established a Nazi dictatorship. Initially improving the economy, Hitler rapidly instituted racist policies, stripping Jews of rights and encouraging attacks. By 1939, seeking to expand German territory and pursue racial ideology, Hitler had invaded Poland, starting World War II after Western democracies failed to counter German and Italian aggression through appeasement or an ineffective League of Nations.
World War I Slideshow Part Two
1) World War 1 began due to a series of interlocking military alliances between European powers and their colonies. Germany invaded Belgium to reach France as outlined in the Schlieffen Plan.
2) The war led to brutal trench warfare with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage on the Western Front. It also involved fighting on the Eastern Front between Germany and Austria-Hungary against Russia.
3) The US entered the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies after German submarine warfare threatened American merchant shipping and the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German-Mexican alliance against the US.
Extra Questions 2- Hitler's rise and consolidation of power

After acquiring overseas territories following the Spanish-American War in 1899, the U.S. pursued an isolationist policy through World War I and its aftermath. As European powers remilitarized and annexed neighboring states in the 1930s, the U.S. remained neutral despite growing tensions, refusing military involvement up until the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 marked the start of World War II.

The Nazi Soviet Pact.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact allowed Hitler and Stalin to invade and divide Poland between German and Soviet forces in 1939. Both leaders were wary of a potential two-front war and saw an opportunity to conquer territory. Hitler wanted to avoid a Russian attack from the east during an invasion of Poland, while Stalin sought time to rearm in case of a future German attack and gain eastern Polish lands as a buffer zone. The invasion succeeded in dividing Poland, but Britain and France declared war on Germany as they had pledged to defend Poland.
The Rise of Hitler ppt
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany through his charismatic leadership and nationalist rhetoric. He joined the German Workers' Party in 1919 and transformed it into the Nazi party, gaining popularity by blaming Jews and communists for Germany's defeat in WWI.

The Nazis spent the years 1924-1929 preparing for another attempt at gaining power in Germany despite facing little success and interest at the time. They worked to make the Nazi Party and SA efficient and polished, practiced propaganda and oratory skills, and made plans for what they would do in power. While violence against political opponents helped gain some attention and support, the Nazis still achieved very little success in this period. It was not until the Great Depression hit Germany in 1929 that the conditions would be right for the Nazis to really increase their support and impact.
Hitler, portrait of a tyrant
Adolf Hitler was the central figure that led to World War II in Europe. Without Hitler, Germany likely would not have taken the aggressive actions that started the war even with its problems after World War I. Additionally, Japan probably would not have aggressively expanded in the Pacific if not for the German threat in Europe. Hitler had a vitriolic personality characterized by five traits - intense hate, a desire for revenge, a belief in his own mission from providence, no moral scruples, and a fundamental belief that force was the solution to any problem.
Chapter 32.1
The document summarizes major events in Europe during World War 2 from 1939-1941. It describes Germany's invasion of Poland using blitzkrieg tactics, and the division of Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union. It then discusses Germany's defeat of France in 1940 by going around the Maginot Line through Belgium and trapping Allied forces at Dunkirk. Britain defeated Germany in the Battle of Britain in 1940. Fighting also occurred in North Africa between British and German/Italian forces. In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union but underestimated Russian resilience and the harsh winter, suffering huge losses.
Genocide
This document discusses several genocides and mass killings that have occurred throughout history including the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Darfur. It notes that people feel scared, sad, and hurt by these tragic events. It asks the question of when such mass killings and genocides will stop.
Genocide presentation
Genocide involves the mass killing of large groups of people and has led to the deaths of millions throughout history, as seen in events like the Rwandan genocide where between 800,000 to 1 million people were slaughtered and 250,000 to 500,000 were raped, the Holocaust where 10 to 12 million people were killed, and the Haitian white extermination that made white people virtually extinct in Haiti. While genocide helps control overpopulation, the massive loss of life and suffering of victims' families makes genocide an unethical act.

International Law and the genocide convention - John Packer
International Law and the genocide convention - John PackerMontreal Institute For Genocide and Human Rights Studies
This document provides an overview of international law and the Genocide Convention. It discusses the history of international law from the Peace of Westphalia to the establishment of the UN. Key norms discussed include sovereignty, non-intervention, non-use of force, and human rights protections. The document examines sources of international law and key principles of the UN Charter, including the purposes of the UN and rules regarding the use of force. It also summarizes the Genocide Convention and states that prevention of genocide is a duty of states under international law.Rwanda: GENOCIDE
The document summarizes key details about the Rwandan genocide that occurred in 1994, where Hutu extremists killed an estimated 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus over the span of 100 days. It provides background on Rwanda's ethnic groups and the tensions between Hutus and Tutsis. It then outlines a timeline of major events during the genocide, including the initial killings, international responses and withdrawal of peacekeepers, and the RPF eventually capturing the capital. Perpetrators of the genocide like Bagosora and the Interahamwe militia are identified. The failures of the international community to respond adequately are also summarized.
Genocide
This document discusses genocide as a global issue throughout history. It provides examples of genocides such as the Holocaust, Rwandan Genocide, and Darfur Crisis. The Holocaust involved the systematic killing of around 11 million people under Nazi Germany. The Rwandan Genocide lasted around 100 days in 1994 and resulted in 800,000 to 1 million deaths. The Darfur Crisis beginning in 2003 has led to over 400,000 deaths as the Sudanese government supported Arab militias attacking ethnic groups in Darfur. The document argues that strong global leadership is needed to prevent ongoing genocides like those carried out by ISIS in the Middle East.

The Rwandan Genocide occurred in 1994 in which an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were murdered in just 100 days. Ethnic tensions between the Hutu majority and Tutsi minority had been exacerbated by Belgian colonial rule, which favored Tutsis. After Rwanda gained independence in 1962, the Hutu came to power and discrimination against Tutsis increased. In 1994, the plane of Rwandan president Habyarimana, a Hutu, was shot down, sparking the genocide where Hutu extremists targeted Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The killings were carried out with machetes, guns, and other weapons. International response was limited and the genocide ended when the Tutsi-led
Genocide powerpoint
The document discusses genocide, providing definitions and examples throughout history. It defines genocide as a form of mass killing intended to destroy an ethnic, racial, or religious group. Several genocides of the 20th century are outlined, including the Armenian Genocide which took up to 1.5 million lives and the Holocaust which killed 6 million Jews and others. More recent genocides discussed include those in Rwanda, Cambodia, and ongoing conflicts in Darfur and the Congo.
8 Stages of Genocide
Genocide occurs in 8 predictable stages:
1. Classification divides people into "us and them" based on ethnicity, race, religion or nationality.
2. Symbolization assigns symbols like names or dress to the classified groups.
3. Dehumanization treats members of the targeted group as less than human.
4. Organization uses militias and special army units to carry out the genocide in a coordinated way.
Second World War
The document provides an overview of World War 2 from 1939-1945. It discusses the key combatant powers and timeline of major events including Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, the turning point in 1941 when Germany invaded the USSR and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor bringing the US into the war, the Allied victories from 1942-1945 including D-Day and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the consequences of the war including over 55 million deaths and the Holocaust which killed approximately 6 million European Jews.
Effect in second world war ii
World War 2 lasted from 1939 to 1945 between the Allied forces and the Axis powers. It began when Germany invaded Poland and resulted in unprecedented casualties with over 60 million deaths worldwide. The war redrew European borders and led to the formation of the United Nations to promote peace. It also marked the end of dictatorships in Europe and established the U.S. and Soviet Union as global superpowers, laying the foundation for the Cold War.

Outbreak of WWII in Europe
The three key factors that led to the outbreak of World War II in Europe were the policy of appeasement, the weakness of the League of Nations, and Hitler's expansionist foreign policy. The policy of appeasement involved Britain and France making concessions to Hitler in an attempt to avoid war. However, this only emboldened Hitler and failed to stop his aggression. The League of Nations was unable to enforce disarmament or impose effective sanctions, showing that countries could act without consequences. This was seen in Italy's invasion of Abyssinia. Finally, Hitler pursued an increasingly aggressive expansionist foreign policy through the remilitarization of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and invasion of Poland
WORLD WAR 2 BY ARBAB KAMILL KHAN
Adolf Hitler was the Chancellor and leader of Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945. He took absolute power and maintained it throughout his rule, implementing anti-Semitic policies that led to the Holocaust. Germany had ceased to recognize restrictions from the Treaty of Versailles by the late 1930s. The war began in 1939 and involved many countries around the world over the next six years, ending with Germany and Japan's surrender in 1945 after Allied invasions and atomic bombings.

The document provides an overview of World War I between 1914-1918. It discusses the initial stalemate on the Western Front as trenches were dug, as well as key events that drew more countries into the war such as Germany's invasion of Belgium in violation of its neutrality. It also mentions Allied propaganda about German atrocities and Wilson's support of the British blockade of Germany despite it violating international law and starving German civilians. The sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915, which killed over 100 American citizens on board, increased tensions between the US and Germany.

World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led to escalating tensions between allies. Major powers in Europe were divided into the Allied/Triple Entente powers including Britain, France, and Russia against the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Both sides had goals of defeating their enemies while avoiding a two-front war. The war quickly resulted in a bloody stalemate as new industrial weapons and tactics led to trench warfare on the Western Front. Over 65 million soldiers fought in the war and over 37 million casualties resulted before it ended in 1918.
Unit 4 lesson 1 from isolation to involvement
This document provides an overview of key events and terms related to the early years of World War II and the debate in the United States over intervention. It describes Germany's rapid military conquests across Europe from 1938 to 1941 using blitzkrieg tactics, Britain's resistance against German air attacks, and the growing alignment of Allied and Axis powers. It also explains how Roosevelt advocated increasing support for the Allies through policies like cash-and-carry and lend-lease, while isolationists opposed greater involvement, leading to heated debates in the U.S. The summary ends with Germany attacking U.S. ships and war seeming inevitable.
Mr. Cs World War II
The document provides an overview of key events in World War II history from 1939 to 1945. It describes the rise of Hitler in Germany and fascist aggression across Europe and Asia. Major sections cover the early Axis victories, Allied counteroffensives in North Africa, the Pacific, Eastern Front, D-Day invasion of Normandy, and concluding conferences between Allied leaders.

Ww2 Europe
The document summarizes key events of World War 2 in Europe across 3 pages. Page 1 discusses the causes and reasons for the war, including Hitler's domination of several countries and invasion of Russia. Page 2 describes notable battles such as Pearl Harbor and D-Day. Page 3 discusses the aftermath, including Germany paying reparations and the creation of the United Nations to prevent future wars.
Chapter 11 wwi
World War I began in 1914 due to rising nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and systems of alliances between European powers. The immediate cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian nationalists. The US initially remained neutral but was drawn into the war in 1917 after German submarine warfare threatened American merchant shipping and the Zimmerman Telegram proposed an alliance between Germany and Mexico against the US. The addition of American troops and resources helped the Allies defeat the Central Powers by 1918. Over 20 million people died making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history.
Role of appeasement
This document discusses the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It explains that European leaders were reluctant to face another major war after WWI. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain pursued a policy of appeasement, believing it would prevent another disaster like WWI. However, Hitler continued expanding German territory by annexing Austria and demanding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. The Munich Agreement allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, but failed to achieve "peace in our time" as Chamberlain claimed, as Hitler later occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia, paving the way for WWII.
Chapter 6
The document discusses the events leading up to World War 2 in Europe. It explains that after WWI, the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations aimed to maintain peace but failed to stop German and Italian aggression in the 1930s. Germany rearming under Hitler threatened peace as he annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia through appeasement. Weakness of the League and appeasement encouraged further aggression until Britain changed its policy, paving the way for WWII.

The policy of appeasement adopted by Western nations towards Nazi Germany in the late 1930s had several motivations:
1. Leaders feared that standing up to Hitler's expansionist demands would lead to another devastating world war when their countries were not militarily prepared. They hoped appeasement could buy time to rearm.
2. Many in Britain and France felt sympathy for Germany after World War 1 and thought the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh. They believed accommodating some of Hitler's initial demands was reasonable.
3. There was a misjudgment of Hitler as a leader who could be reasoned with, rather than an ideologue who would continue escalating his demands.
4. Some feared

LOAPUSH 34
The document summarizes key events in Europe and Asia in the 1930s leading up to World War 2, and the evolving US response from isolationism to increased involvement. It describes how Roosevelt pulled out of the failed London Conference in 1933, weakening international cooperation. Fascist regimes rose in Germany, Italy and Japan in the 1930s, pursuing aggressive expansionism. The US passed Neutrality Acts aiming to stay out of conflicts but which had the effect of aiding the fascists. Germany remilitarized, invaded Austria and Czechoslovakia despite appeasement. Japan invaded China, and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. World War 2 began with the German invasion of Poland in 1939. The US moved
AQA B History GCSE Hitler's Foreign Policy Revision
Hitler took several steps between 1935 and 1939 to undermine the Treaty of Versailles and expand German territory, which ultimately led to the start of World War 2. These steps included reoccupying the Rhineland in 1936, annexing Austria in 1938, demanding the Sudetenland at Munich in 1938, occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939, signing a non-aggression pact with the USSR also in 1939, and finally invading Poland on September 1st, 1939, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany.
Appeasement
The document discusses the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. It outlines the arguments both for and against appeasement, as well as key events like the annexation of Austria, the Munich Agreement over the Sudetenland, and Germany's invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. While appeasement aimed to avoid war by allowing some of Hitler's territorial demands, it failed to deter German aggression in the long run and showed that Hitler's promises could not be trusted. By giving in to Hitler at Munich, the allies also betrayed Czechoslovakia but may have bought some time to rearm for the looming war.
World War 2
This document outlines the key leaders and events leading up to World War 2. It discusses the positions and strategies of British Prime Minister Chamberlain, Soviet leader Stalin, Italian leader Mussolini, and German leader Hitler. It describes Hitler's goals of expanding German territory and his violations of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler's invasions of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland are summarized, which led Britain and France to declare war on Germany in 1939, starting World War 2.
World War II
Germany and Japan pursued oppressive policies during World War II to further their war efforts and territorial ambitions. The Nazis forcibly relocated millions of people within Germany for forced labor. Most horrifically, the Nazis systematically exterminated around 6 million Jews as part of the "Final Solution" through ghettos, mass shootings, starvation, and gas chambers. Non-Jewish people were also victims, with 9-10 million killed. Japan showed little regard for the peoples it conquered in Southeast Asia, exploiting them for resources and subjecting prisoners of war to harsh treatment. Both regimes committed widespread human rights atrocities.

Germany at war civilian morale
1. The document discusses several topics related to civilian life in Germany during World War 2, including the economy, ideology around women's roles, and propaganda/censorship.
2. As the war progressed, consumer goods became scarce and rationing tightened, with shortages of food, clothes, and other items by 1942-1943. Working conditions also deteriorated with increased hours and the use of foreign workers.
3. While propaganda aimed to maintain morale, Allied bombing of major cities could not be hidden and caused significant civilian casualties and destruction, undermining support for the regime by 1943-1944.
Germany at war resistance and repression
The document discusses resistance groups in Nazi Germany including the Rote Kapell (Red Orchestra) communist group, the White Rose student group led by Hans and Sophie Scholl, and conservative elites such as the Kreisau Circle and those involved in the failed Stauffenberg Plot. While these groups took actions like distributing leaflets and attempting to assassinate Hitler, most members were eventually caught and executed. Resistance efforts were isolated, faced repression from the Nazi police state, and ultimately failed to overthrow the Nazi regime.

Germany at war genocide
This document discusses the Holocaust and key events surrounding it. It covers:
1) Pre-war anti-Semitism in Germany and the dismissal of early reports of genocide.
2) The change in Nazi policy in 1941 to systematically exterminate Jews using SS death squads in occupied territories of the USSR, exposing the need for a "Final Solution".
3) The Wannsee Conference of 1942 formalized plans to industrialize the genocide of all European Jews through the use of gas chambers and concentration camps. By 1943-1944 an estimated 6 million Jews had been killed.
Germany at war war economy
1. The Nazi regime initially portrayed the economy as strong through early military victories, but production was actually low and inefficiently managed among competing agencies.
2. Albert Speer was appointed Minister of Armaments in 1942 and centralized planning, which increased arms production by 59% by eliminating waste.
3. However, local Nazi officials and the SS resisted Speer's control, and increasing Allied bombing from 1943 onward damaged infrastructure and diverted resources from production, preventing Germany from matching the industrial output of the USSR and USA.
Chp 9 decline of wemiar rise of nazism 1929 1932
This document outlines several theories on the rise of the Nazis in Germany:
1) A crisis of capitalism theory that links the 1929 economic crash to business support for the Nazis.
2) Anti-German determinism theories that portray Nazism as the inevitable result of German history and culture.
3) A "moral crisis" theory arguing that World War 1 destabilized European society and enabled the rise of Nazism.
4) Structuralist theories emphasize preexisting authoritarian tendencies in German society and institutions that facilitated Hitler's rise to power.

- 3. Not a surprise to readers of Mein Kampf From 1935-38 Germany made overt moves to prepare for European War Most of this was tolerated by Britain and France on the grounds of averting another ‘Great War’ The actions on September 3rd were unexpected, not least so by Germany. Hitler’s plan intended War for the mid 40s As result we witnessed ‘The Phoney war’ Despite this Germany was militarily superior at first- Blitzkrieg Not until 1943 was Germany reversed However defeat was never inevitable!
- 4. Blitzkreig opened up a mass of Lebensraum With it came an abundance of raw materials The Nazi-Soviet pact enabled A war on one front Material aid from the USSR Hitler wanted to push on to France in late ‘39 His Generals urged caution The Phoney war ensued and there is a defacto freeze on hostilities till May 1940
- 5. Initial victory over Belgium and the Netherlands (the Low Countries) and France was due to Hitler's skilful military and economic planning. Third Reich is bordered by three neutral / friendly countries. Hitler rules in Berlin, Paris, Oslo, Vienna, Prague and Warsaw. The war was ‘as good as over’
- 6. Did Germany lose or Britain win? British self interest was put aside, it would not settle with Germany as Hitler hoped. Hugely significant strategically, tactically and politically for Germany. Germany failure to force Britain to capitulate during the BoB resulted in a change of direction for Hitler Russia!
- 7. 18th December 1940 |Hitler's Directive No.21 A strategic failure from the outset? Promised a quick campaign Hitler embarks upon this ‘new crusade’ before the surrender / defeat of Britain. Hitler had become convinced that Blitzkrieg tactics would work against the USSR Delays in securing the German flanks (Greece and Balkans) delayed the start till 22nd June 1941. Initial success was reversed at Leningrad and Stalingrad From Nov 1941 Blitzkrieg turned into Sitzkrieg.
- 8. France and Britain failed to realise the intent of Germany and lacked initiative at the vital moment(s). F&B were unable to counter Blitzkrieg tactics French strategy was based upon the Maginot Line. Its total failure stripped away the military and political will to resist. British efforts were based upon containment and appeasement, backed up by the military strategy of WW1. German expansion opened up immense resources The USSR was taken by complete surprise
- 9. December 7th 1941 – Pearl Harbour Despite under no obligation Hitler allied himself with Japan – Globalising the conflict. Resultantly; USA joins Atlantic War Germany faces another enemy Still no victory over Britain or USSR Context No strategic impetus to fight USA Evidence that Hitler had lost grip on military and diplomatic developments British Victory at El Alamein – Nov ’42 German encirclement at Stalingrad Dec 42 - Jan 43
- 10. From 1943 Germany essentially fought a defensive war to protect ‘Fortress Europe’ Hitler was diverging more and more from the reality of the situation His personal ideological prejudice over race and communism dictated policy. Assuming the Allied-USSR pact would not last Allied bombing continued to grow in reach and severity Italy proved an unreliable ally and by 43 the Allies had control over Africa and Southern Italy.
- 11. Unconditional surrender the only viable option The reality of this prompted assassination attempts on Hitler However German resistance did not collapse Serious opposition in the break out from Normandy Battle of the Bulge Soviet Advance was hard won Hitler's suicide on 30th April 45 German surrender 7-8th of May 45
