The document summarizes key details about World War 2, including its combatant powers and timeline from 1939-1945, its global scale and extreme brutality, and its stages from the early victories of the Axis powers to the eventual victory of the Allies. It also provides details on the Holocaust, describing how Nazi Germany systematically murdered approximately 6 million Jews across German-occupied Europe between 1933-1945 through ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps like Auschwitz.

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.

What Were the Causes of World War IIWas it worth 75 million p.docxhelzerpatrina
What Were the Causes of World War II?
Was it worth 75 million people dying? Was it worth militaries leaving their family behind without a promise coming back? Was it worth millions of innocent people in Hiroshima, Japan vaporize a cause of a nuclear bomb? What were the causes that led to World War II?
World War II started in september 1, 1939 and ended September 2, 1945.
It is suggested that 75 million people die, including military personnel, civilians and some civilians who died because of deliberate genocia massacres, mass-bombing, disease, and starvation. The causes were the Treaty of Versailles, a poor economy, Nazi ideology, depression, and alliances.
In 1919, Lloyd George of England, Orlando of Italy, Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the United State made the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson wanted peace in Europe and he tried to promote this through his 14 point plan. Georges wanted revenge, and to keep Germany from beginning another war. George and Wilson had the same view, but the British public agreed with Clemenceau. George tried to find a solution to unite Wilson and Clemenceau.
On the other hand, Germany liked Wilson's 14 points but was not happy with the Treaty of Versailles. However, they were forced to agree with the terms. The Treaty of Versailles had several terms for Germany. First, Germany should feel guilty for starting World War I. Second, Germany had to pay 6,600 million pounds for the reparations caused by World War I. Third, Germany was not allowed to have a military. For example, they were only allowed to have a small army and six naval ships, that means, no tanks, no Air Force, and no submarines were allowed, also the Rhineland area was to be demilitarized. Fourth, Germany had to give away some territorial land. For example Anschluss, this is a union with Austria was forbidden.
Therefore the people from Germany didn’t like all these terms because Germany could not afford to pay for all this money, and during the 1920s the people from Germany were poor. There were not many jobs and the price of the food was high. That is why the people from Germany start believing in Hitler’s ideology, people voted for him because he promised to rip up the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1933, Adolf Hilter became the president of the Weimar Republic, which is the name of Germany at the time. Since then, Hitler began rebuilding Germany’s military behind people’s backs. In 1934, Hilter expanded Germany’s army, he also created warships and a German Air Force. Since 1933 and 1934, Hitler started leading the Nazi party. However, it wasn’t long before he began to show his true intentions and his reign began to be a dictatorship. France, Italy, and Britain tried to convince Hilter to not deploy his military by signing the Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany. Therefore Primer Ministre Neville Chamberlain, of Britain tried to prevent another war, he negotiated with Hitler about who would gain land in Czechoslovakia. However, all his ...

2. World War I (1914–1919)
• The Start of the War
World War I began on July 28, 1914, when Austria-Hungary declared war
on Serbia. This seemingly small conflict between two countries spread rapidly:
soon, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France were all drawn into the war,
largely because they were involved in Treaties that obligated them to defend
certain other nations. Western and eastern Fronts quickly opened along the
borders of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
3. The End of the War and Armistice
The war ended in the late fall of 1918, after the member countries of the
Central Powers signed Armistice Agreements one by one. Germany was the
last, signing its armistice on November 11, 1918. As a result of these
agreements, Austria-Hungary was broken up into several smaller countries.
Germany, under the Treaty Of Versailles, was severely punished with hefty
economic reparations, territorial losses, and strict limits on its rights to develop
militarily.
4. World War II
World War II, also called Second World War, conflict that involved virtually
every part of the world during the years 1939–45. The
principal belligerents were the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—and
the Allies—France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a
lesser extent, China. The war was in many respects a continuation, after an
uneasy 20-year hiatus, of the disputes left unsettled by World War I. The
40,000,000–50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest
conflict, as well as the largest war, in history.

jacket and tie with trousers tucked into puttees; regulation boots and a peaked cap,
which could be swapped for a tin helmet when danger dictated. They were given the
honorary rank of captain and, apart from a green armband, were indistinguishable

reporters seem part of the army. In their thinking, too, they soon fell into step with
the officers around them.

14. Poems
August, 1914
BY VERA MARY BRITTAIN
God said, “Men have forgotten Me:
The souls that sleep shall wake again,
And blinded eyes must learn to see.”
So since redemption comes through pain
He smote the earth with chastening rod,
And brought destruction's lurid reign;
But where His desolation trod
The people in their agony
Despairing cried, “There is no God.”
To Germany
BY CHARLES HAMILTON SORLEY
You are blind like us. Your hurt no man designed,
And no man claimed the conquest of your land.
But gropers both through fields of thought confined
We stumble and we do not understand.
You only saw your future bigly planned,
And we, the tapering paths of our own mind,
And in each other's dearest ways we stand,
And hiss and hate. And the blind fight the blind.
When it is peace, then we may view again
With new-won eyes each other's truer form
And wonder. Grown more loving-kind and warm
We'll grasp firm hands and laugh at the old pain,
When it is peace. But until peace, the storm
The darkness and the thunder and the rain
15. The War in the Air
BY HOWARD NEMEROV
For a saving grace, we didn't see our dead,
Who rarely bothered coming home to die
But simply stayed away out there
In the clean war, the war in the air.
Seldom the ghosts come back bearing their tales
Of hitting the earth, the incompressible sea,
But stayed up there in the relative wind,
Shades fading in the mind,
Who had no graves but only epitaphs
Where never so many spoke for never so few:
Per ardua, said the partisans of Mars,
Per aspera, to the stars.
That was the good war, the war we won
As if there was no death, for goodness's sake.
With the help of the losers we left out there
In the air, in the empty air.
16. The Pictures that Defined World War I
