Answer 7

World War Two was a direct and delayed result of World War One.  Cause and Effect.  The Versailles Treaty ending WW I, paved the way in both economics as well as politics for the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany.  In the far east, Japan had settled its deputes with Russia and had expounded on it's Shinto religious beliefs, which taught that the Japanese were a superior race above all others.  Tehy set out to expand their borders and invaded their neighbors.  Hitler did the same in Germany.  

Wikipedia?  You scare me.  The German Army was NOT called "n***s."  Wikipedia is not a viable, accredited source.

Answer 8

For the WWII in Europe:

As some of the posters had mentioned, WWII attempted to change European order that was implemented as result of the WWI and Versailles /Trianon treaties.  The end of the WWI did not solve many important issues, such as national minorities, border disputes, and economic extortion of defeated states especially Germany.  This created dissatisfaction across Germany (and Austria, Hungary) and invoked a feeling they were humiliated by victorious states of WWI. That fed a desire for revenge.  The anger was directed predominantly against countries that were created on the ruins of defunct empires, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, and first of all France.  Deep depression in Germany in the 1930’s compounded with repayment of debt to France helped to rise Nazism and their ideology to power.  Democracy seemed to be ineffective to deal with depression, and many Germans believed in National Socialism to fix with their problems.

The German objective of WWII was total control of Europe and its resources for the good of German people.  Having resources was considered vital for survival of the depression.  Also control of German’s neighbors on its eastern sides would incorporate significant German minorities into larger Germany.  Another aim was payback for humiliation of 1918 and to give France/UK the same treatment that Germany suffered in 1918-1938.  The last issue was ideological.  Germany believed that they had divine rights for the world domination and that the ideology of National Socialism was utterly superior to any other social, political, and economical order of that time.

Answer 9

German fascist Adolf Hitler wanted to form a great empire. He allied with the Japanese and the Italian. Hitler formed an army known as the n***s. They were known as the Axis. Their symbol was the swastika, an Indian good luck symbol. The n***s first attacked Poland, in 1939. In 1940, German bombers bombed England. America didn't get involved until 1941, when the Japanese bombed America's naval fleet at Pearl Harbor. America and England formed an alliance. When n***s attacked Stalingrad in 1942, which is now in Russia, (formerly known as the Soviet Union) Soviets joined the Americans and the English. They were known as the Allies. The result of the war was a victory by the Allies.

Answer 10

My faith in the youth of today is falling. Fast. There is no one reason why WWII happened. There are several reasons. WWI debts that Germany had to repay causing a severe depression in their economy. Rising of political factions (n**i's), etc, etc.
