Failures after WWI
Treaty of Versailles
Caused anger and resentment, blamed Germany for starting WWI
Reparations, stripped them of their overseas colonies & border territories
Weimar Republic – democratic government established in Germany after WWI
No experience with democracy = turn to authoritarian leaders
Joseph Stalin “Man of Steel” Estimated to have killed 8 – 13 million
people Officially called the Soviet Union in 1922 Totalitarian Govt. = complete control over
citizens, no rights, government suppression of opposition
Agricultural & Industrial growth = national priority
Becomes the world’s 2nd largest industrial power
“What Joseph Stalin would have said about the US Government”
Tell your partner (without looking at your notes) 2 reasons why the Treaty of
Versailles helped start WW2
5 year plans Abolished all privately owned farms Collectives = large, government owned
farms All economic activity was placed under
government control
Fascism Extreme nationalism, needs of the state
placed above the individual Examples: Germany, Italy
Benito Mussolini Italian Dictator, Il Duce (the leader) “Italy wants peace, work, and calm. I will
give these things with love if possible, force if necessary”
Took advantage of high unemployment and inflation
Blackshirts = supporters Totalitarian state
Explain to your partner how a leaders like Mussolini and Hitler
were able to come to power.
Using the back of your notes, draw the following image for your
teammate: Fascism
Adolf Hitler Born in Austria “Der Fuhrer” (the leader) Joined the National Socialist German Worker’s Party
= Nazi Party Mein Kampf (My struggle) – basic beliefs of Nazism Racial Purification, Aryan or Master race National expansion – “lebensraum” or living space Great Depression helped the Nazi cause – war debts,
reliance on American loans, poor economy 5 million German Marks = less than 1 penny 6 million Germans unemployed Storm Troopers/Brownshirts – Hitler’s private army Hitler is appointed chancellor (prime minister) Third Reich or Third German Empire – “Thousand
Year Reich”
Think, Pair, Share (30 seconds each)
You’re a German citizen in 1939. Would you have been able to see Hitler for
what he really was or would have joined the masses?
ANDIf you did see through, what would you
have done about it?
Japan
More living space for a growing population Surprise attack on the Chinese province of
Manchuria in 1931 Manchuria – 2x the size of Texas, abundant
natural resources League of Nation sent to investigate, Japan
withdraws from the League Militarists in charge of the nation
League of Nations
Japan’s example encouraged Germany to withdraw from the League
Germany participates in a military buildup in violation of the Treaty of Versailles
Expands into the Rhineland (German territory bordering France & Belgium), League does nothing
Italy – invades Ethiopia (independent nation, not colonized)
Economic sanctions placed on Italy, minimal impact
“It is us today. It will be you tomorrow.” Ethiopian emperor
Explain to your teammate 2 reasons why Japan felt they needed to expand beyond their borders.
Explain to your partner why wasn’t the League of Nations successful?
Spanish Civil War General Franciso Franco rebelled against
the Spanish republic Western democracies remained neutral Soviet Union – weapons & advisors,
Germany & Italy sent troops, weapons, tanks, & planes
Close relationship between Germany & Italy = Rome-Berlin Axis
Franco become Spain’s fascist dictator
The United States 1928 – Kellogg-Briand Pact – signed by 62
countries – war was not an instrument of national policy
The Nye Committee – documented the large profits by banks & manufacturers (merchants of death)
Neutrality Acts (1 & 2) – outlawed arms sales or loans to nations at war, (#3) – spread the ban to nations in civil war
US sends arms & supplies to China (Japan had not officially declared war), FDR finding it more difficult to stay neutral
Think, Pair, Share
Would a President sacrifice 2,000 live to justify getting the United States into a war he believes needs to be fought?

Section 2
Germany
Austria – majority of 6 million population were Germany who favored unification with Germany
German troops marched in unopposed No international response Czechoslovakia – 3 million German speaking
people in the Sudetenland (W. Czech.) Region was Czech. main barrier between it’s
nation and Germany Hitler – more living space, natural resources Nazi Press = hysterical headlines GB & France promised to protest Czech. Hitler invites French Premier Edouard Daladier &
British Prime Minster Neville Chamberlain to meet in Munich – “last territorial demand”
Munich agreement – Sudetenland is given without a single shot fired
Winston Churchill – Chamberlain’s political rival in GB
Appeasement – giving up principals to pacify an aggressor
March 15, 1939 – German troops cross into the remainder of Czech.
Up Next? Poland – also large German speaking population – they needed Hitler’s “protection”
Think, Pair, Share
If another European leader acted the way Hitler did during this time period, how would Europe and the
United States respond?
An attack on Poland would provoke a declaration of war from GB & Fr.
Poland’s eastern neighbor, Russia, would create a 2 front war just like WWI??
Stalin signs a nonaggression pact with Hitler – never attack one anothero Divide Poland between the 2 nations
No 2 front war = Germany invades Poland (3 weeks)
Blitzkrieg = lightning war (Luftwaffe – German Air Force + fast moving German tanks)
GB & France declare war on Germany
The Phony War or Sitzkrieg Maginot Line – fortification line on
France’s eastern border Stalin – takes over Finland Hitler attacks Denmark, Norway, the
Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg to provide more “protection”
Hitler avoids the Maginot Line – goes through the Ardennes (N.E France) – wooded region thought impassable
