THE ROAD TO WAR 1939 - WHY DID THE WAR STARTED IN 1939?George Dumitrache
The document discusses several factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939, including flawed peace settlements after World War 1 that made Germany resentful, a weak League of Nations that failed to stop aggression, the economic depression that led to the rise of extreme right-wing governments, countries adopting aggressive foreign policies for economic reasons, Hitler breaking the Treaty of Versailles and using force to expand Germany, the aggression of Italy and Japan, the appeasement of Germany by Britain and France that encouraged further aggression, and the failure of Britain, France and Russia to form an alliance against Germany due to ideological differences.

Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933 and immediately began pursuing an aggressive foreign policy aimed at making Germany a dominant power once again. He withdrew Germany from the League of Nations and disarmament talks, believing the Treaty of Versailles unfairly restricted Germany's military. Hitler's foreign policy was driven by his racist ideology of Aryan supremacy and his goal of conquering Lebensraum, or living space, in Eastern Europe for colonization by ethnic Germans.

He ruled absolutely until his death by suicide in April 1945. Adolf Hitler came to power with the goal of establishing a new racial order in Europe dominated by the German “master race.” This goal drove Nazi foreign policy, which aimed to: throw off the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles; incorporate territories with ethnic German populations into the Reich; acquire a vast new empire in Eastern Europe; form alliances; and, during the war, persuade other states to participate in the “final solution.”

Hitler saw the Spanish Civil War as an opportunity to fight against Communism and test his armed forces. He supported the right-wing nationalist forces under General Franco, while Stalin supported the Republican government. Germany sent the Condor Legion to Spain, where the Luftwaffe practiced devastating bombing raids on civilian populations, such as the destruction of Guernica. After over 30 months of fighting that cost 250,000 lives, the nationalists emerged victorious, allowing Franco to establish an authoritarian regime in Spain. The Spanish Civil War provided benefits for Hitler by allowing him to strengthen ties with Mussolini, distract the West while expanding German power in Central Europe, and prepare German forces for future conflicts.

Germany transitioned to a democratic republic known as the Weimar Republic after World War 1.

During this time, Germany experienced political instability, with the republic threatened by communist uprisings like the Spartacist Uprising in Berlin in 1919. The Weimar Constitution established democratic principles like proportional representation but also controversial measures like Article 48 that granted emergency powers.

It also discusses how the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles left Germany dissatisfied and paved the way for Hitler to rise to power by promising to destroy the treaty.
Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 by pressuring the Austrian Chancellor to resign and holding a referendum that overwhelmingly supported unification. As the leader of Germany, where many Austrians considered themselves German, Hitler capitalized on this sentiment and Austria's forbidden union with Germany under the Treaty of Versailles.

The document summarizes key events in international relations from 1919 to 1939 following World War 1, including the Treaty of Versailles and the formation and failures of the League of Nations. It discusses the peace settlements imposed on Germany and its allies after WWI and rising militarism in Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s.

It also covers the policy of appeasement pursued by Britain and France toward Hitler as he remilitarized Germany and annexed territories like the Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and invaded Poland.
The document summarizes key events in World War 2 from Hitler's rise to power in Germany and violation of the Treaty of Versailles, to Germany and Italy forming an alliance, Germany's invasions of Austria and Czechoslovakia, Germany and the Soviet Union signing a non-aggression pact, Germany invading Poland which leads Britain and France to declare war, Germany's quick victories using blitzkrieg tactics through Western Europe, the Battle of Britain, Germany invading the Soviet Union, Japan's attacks on US forces and Germany declaring war on the US after, major Allied victories at Stalingrad and Normandy on D-Day, and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to Japan's surrender,
The document summarizes the key events leading up to World War 2, including Hitler's rise to power in Germany and his aims of expanding German territory, abolishing the Treaty of Versailles, and destroying Communism. It then outlines Hitler's "steps to war" through remilitarization of Germany, annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland, and invasion of Poland, despite the policy of appeasement by Britain and France. War broke out in Europe in 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany after it invaded Poland.
The document discusses the establishment and control of the Nazi regime in Germany between 1933-1945. It examines how Hitler consolidated power after becoming Chancellor in 1933, oppressing opposition through the SS and Gestapo. The Nazis tightly controlled culture and propaganda to promote their ideology, especially targeting youth through organizations like the Hitler Youth. Overall, the Nazis established a highly effective system of totalitarian control over all aspects of German society during this period.
World War 1 began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist in 1914. This caused tensions between Serbia and Austria-Hungary that escalated when Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia and declared war after Serbia did not comply. The war involved two opposing alliances - the Allies including Britain, France, and Russia, and the Central Powers including Germany and Austria-Hungary. It resulted in huge losses and new military technologies led to trench warfare stalemates on the Western Front. The war ended in 1918 with the defeat of the Central Powers after the US joined the Allies and revolutions in Russia. The Treaty of Versailles established peace and punished Germany.
Hitler rose to power in Germany in 1933 and sought to undo the Treaty of Versailles, expand German territory, and destroy communism. Over the next several years, he took incremental steps to rearm Germany and annex neighboring lands, including remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936, annexing Austria in 1938, and taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia later that year. In 1939, Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin and invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany, plunging Europe into World War II.
Appeasement failed for several reasons:
1) It showed Hitler that Britain and France were unwilling to stop German aggression, encouraging further expansion.
2) It weakened Czechoslovakia and emboldened Germany, Italy, and other countries to make territorial demands.
3) While gaining Britain time to rearm, it also gave Germany time to rearm, making the eventual war more destructive.
THE ROAD TO WAR 1939 - THE RISE OF THE DICTATORS.
The 1930s are typically remembered by the tremendous economic hardship countries around the world. These hardships became prominent after the stock market crash of 1929 and grew into a worldwide economic depression. During this time, some countries found their citizens engaged in revolutions to change or overthrow their systems of government. A few nations turned to the militaristic control of dictators to bring some semblance of structure. Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union are among those who saw dictators rise to power between World War I and World War II.
This document provides details about World War 1, including its causes, key events, and outcome. It discusses the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serb nationalist, which increased tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. When Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, their allies were pulled into the war due to the system of alliances. The war resulted in huge losses and stalemate on the Western Front. It also discusses America's entry into the war in 1917 and the Russian Revolution, which led to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. After the war, the Treaty of Versailles established the League of Nations and imposed penalties on Germany.
World War I was caused by rising nationalism in European nations and their competition for power and resources, which led to the formation of opposing alliances. Militarism and an arms race escalated tensions as countries expanded their armed forces. Immediate causes of the war included the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist and the chain reaction of countries honoring their alliance obligations by declaring war on each other. Within a month, the major European powers were at war across both Western and Eastern fronts.
World War 1 began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and escalated due to rising tensions between powerful alliances. Germany launched attacks through Belgium but was stopped by Allied forces. The U.S. initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German submarine attacks. An armistice in 1918 ended the war, leading to the harsh Treaty of Versailles that imposed penalties on Germany and contributed to renewed tensions.

On February 27, 1933, the German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down. The Nazi leadership and its coalition partners used the fire to claim that Communists were planning a violent uprising. They claimed that emergency legislation was needed to prevent this. The resulting act, commonly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, abolished a number of constitutional protections and paved the way for Nazi dictatorship.

05. DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - HITLER CONSOLIDATING POWER 1933-34.PPTX
Following Hitler’s appointment as chancellor the Nazis were finally in a position of power.
However, this power was limited, as the Nazis were just one party in a three party coalition government, under President Hindenburg.
This topic will explore how the Nazis managed to eliminate their opposition and consolidate ultimate power over Germany, whilst maintaining an illusion of democracy.
It will first explore this topic in chronological order, from the Reichstag Fire through to the death of President Hindenburg, and then explore it thematically in the last section. On the 31 January 1933, Hitler, conscious of his lack of a majority in the Reichstag, immediately called for new elections to try and strengthen his position. The Nazis aimed to increase their share of the vote so that they would have a majority in the Reichstag. This would allow them to rule unopposed and unhindered by coalition governments.
Over the next two months, they launched themselves into an intense election campaign.
On 27 February 1933, as the campaign moved into its final, frantic days, the Reichstag, the German Parliament building, was set on fire and burnt down. An atmosphere of panic and terror followed the event.
This continued when a young Dutch communist, Van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime.
The Nazi Party used the atmosphere of panic to their advantage, encouraging anti-communism. Göring declared that the communists had planned a national uprising to overthrow the Weimar Republic. This hysteria helped to turn the public against the communists, one of the Nazis main opponents, and 4000 people were imprisoned.
The day after the fire, Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. On the 28 February 1933, President Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. This decree suspended the democratic aspects of the Weimar Republic and declared a state of emergency.
This decree gave the Nazis a legal basis for the persecution and oppression of any opponents, who were be framed as traitors to the republic. People could be imprisoned for any or no reason.
The decree also removed basic personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech, the right to own property, and the right to trial before imprisonment.
Through these aspects the Nazis suppressed any opposition to their power, and were able to start the road from democracy to a dictatorship. The atmosphere of uncertainty following the Reichstag Fire secured many voters for the Nazi party.
The SA also ran a violent campaign of terror against any and all opponents of the Nazi regime. Many were terrified of voting of at all, and many turned to voting for the Nazi Party out of fear for their own safety. The elections were neither free or fair.
On the 5 March 1933, the elections took place, with an extremely high turnout of 89%.
The Nazis secured 43.9% of the vote.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - 04. HITLER BECOMING CHANCELLOR 1933George Dumitrache
Hitler was not immediately appointed chancellor after the success of the July 1932 elections, despite being leader of the largest party in the Reichstag. It took the economic and political instability (with two more chancellors failing to stabilise the situation) to worsen, and the support of the conservative elite, to convince Hindenburg to appoint Hitler.
Hitler was sworn in as the chancellor of Germany on the 30 January 1933. The Nazis were now in power.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - 03. NAZI'S LITTLE SUCCESSGeorge Dumitrache
The document discusses the early success of the Nazi party in Germany. It notes that while the party made progress in organization and membership in its early years after 1919, it had little impact in elections initially. The Nazis received only 6.5% of the vote in their first national election in 1924. Later elections in 1928 saw their support decline further to just 2.6% as the German economy and political situation stabilized under Stresemann. While the Nazis appealed to specific groups frustrated with the Weimar Republic, they remained a small party with less than 30,000 members by 1925.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: NAZI REGIME - 02. NAZI PARTY IDEOLOGY IN 1920George Dumitrache
The document provides background information on the origins and early development of the Nazi party in Germany during the 1920s. It describes how the party began as the German Workers' Party led by Anton Drexler before Hitler joined in 1919 and became the leader in 1921. It also outlines some of the key aspects of the Nazi party platform outlined in the 25-point program, including nationalism, anti-Semitism, and a desire for more territory. Finally, it discusses Hitler's failed Munich Putsch coup attempt in 1923 and how he wrote Mein Kampf while in prison.
1) Post-war instability and economic crisis weakened established political systems in countries like Germany and Italy. 2) A sense of nationalism was used by fascist leaders to promote unity and scapegoat others for the nation's problems. 3) Charismatic leaders like Hitler and Mussolini were able to gain followers by promoting fascism as an alternative to communism and liberal democracy.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 10. THE FALL OF WEIMAR 1930-1933George Dumitrache
The document provides background information on the rise of the Nazi party in Germany between 1930-1933. It discusses how Germany's economic dependence on American loans led to the collapse of German industry following the 1929 Wall Street crash. This caused widespread unemployment, with over 6 million people jobless by 1932. As economic conditions deteriorated, support grew for the Nazis as they promised strong leadership and blamed Jews and communists for Germany's problems. The Nazis increased their Reichstag seats in elections in 1933 after Hitler became Chancellor, and he then used emergency powers to crush opposition and establish a one-party Nazi state in Germany.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 09. TABLES AND CARTOONSGeorge Dumitrache
The document discusses the Weimar Republic in Germany through tables and cartoons as part of a Cambridge IGCSE depth study on Germany. It provides information on the political and economic challenges faced by the Weimar Republic between 1919-1933 through statistical tables and illustrations. The depth study uses multiple visual elements to summarize key events and issues like inflation, unemployment, and the rise of extremism during this period of German history.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 08. NAZIS IN THE WILDERNESSGeorge Dumitrache
The “Lean Years” (also called the "wilderness" years) of Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany refer to the period between 1924 and 1928 when the Nazi party did not have high levels of support and still suffered from humiliation over the Munich Putsch. Why where these years “lean”?
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 07. STRESEMMAN ERA 1924-1929George Dumitrache
Gustav Stresemann was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1923 during the Weimar Republic period. As Chancellor and later as Foreign Minister, he implemented policies that helped stabilize Germany's economy and improve its international standing. This included establishing a new currency to end hyperinflation, crushing communist uprisings, and pursuing diplomatic agreements like the Locarno Pact to normalize Germany's relations with other European powers. However, the economic and political stability of the Weimar Republic remained fragile.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 06. THE BEER HALL PUTSCH 1923George Dumitrache
The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, was a failed coup d'état by Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic. Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazi Party members and four police officers. Hitler escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside. After two days, he was arrested and charged with treason. The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation for the first time and generated front-page headlines in newspapers around the world. His arrest was followed by a 24-day trial, which was widely publicised and gave him a platform to express his nationalist sentiments to the nation. Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released. Once released, Hitler redirected his focus towards obtaining power through legal means rather than by revolution or force, and accordingly changed his tactics, further developing Nazi propaganda.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 05. HYPERINFLATIONGeorge Dumitrache
Hyperinflation affected the German Papiermark, the currency of the Weimar Republic, between 1921 and 1923, primarily in 1923. It caused considerable internal political instability in the country, the occupation of the Ruhr by France and Belgium, and misery for the general populace.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 03. THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES IMPACT ON...George Dumitrache
Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany's ability to produce revenue-generating coal and iron ore decreased. As war debts and reparations drained its coffers, the German government was unable to pay its debts. Some of the former World War I Allies didn't buy Germany's claim that it couldn't afford to pay.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 02. THE NOVEMBER REVOLUTION 1918George Dumitrache
The German Revolution or November Revolution was a civil conflict in the German Empire at the end of the First World War that resulted in the replacement of the German federal constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliamentary republic that later became known as the Weimar Republic. The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the adoption of the Weimar Constitution in August 1919. Among the factors leading to the revolution were the extreme burdens suffered by the German population during the four years of war, the economic and psychological impacts of the German Empire's defeat by the Allies, and growing social tensions between the general population and the aristocratic and bourgeois elite.
DEPTH STUDY GERMANY: WEIMAR REPUBLIC - 01. THE EFFECT OF WW1 ON GERMANYGeorge Dumitrache
The document summarizes the impact of World War 1 on Germany. It discusses how Germany initially found success on the Eastern Front and made advances on the Western Front in 1918 but was eventually overwhelmed as the US joined the war effort. Germany experienced political instability, economic devastation from blockades, widespread hunger and disease, and psychological trauma from defeat. The German people bitterly blamed leaders for the defeat, sowing seeds for the rise of the Nazis in the unstable Weimar Republic that followed the war.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The League of Nations was an international organization, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, created after the First World War to provide a forum for resolving international disputes.
This cartoon was likely published after the Stresa Pact was signed in early 1935, when Britain and France failed to raise the issue of Abyssinia with Mussolini and were perceived as turning a blind eye to his plans in hopes of keeping Italy as an ally against Germany. The cartoon directly criticizes the British and French policy of appeasing Mussolini, so the purpose was to criticize, not just inform. By criticizing the policy, the hope would be to influence and change the policy by swaying public opinion.
Manchurian Crisis. On September 18, 1931, an explosion destroyed a section of railway track near the city of Mukden. The Japanese, who owned the railway, blamed Chinese nationalists for the incident and used the opportunity to retaliate and invade Manchuria.
05. LEAGUE OF NATIONS - Great Depression and LON.pptxGeorge Dumitrache
GREAT DEPRESSION AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The Great Depression of 1930-33 meant people turned to extremist dictators such as Hitler and Mussolini, who were keen to invade other countries. This made it hard for the League to maintain peace. The League had some very ambitious plans and ideals – to stop war and make the world a better place.

HITLER HESITANT
Without the appeasement, Hitler was hesitant to make his next move.
He was worried about having to fight a war on two fronts – Britain and
France in the west, and Russia in the east.
Britain and France started to talk with Russia about how they could
work together against Germany but no one showed urgency.
Stalin was still bitter for being left out of the Munich Agreement
meeting.
Russia was also in talks with Germany and in August 1939 the Nazi-
Soviet Pact was signed.
