“Many of the seed of World War II in Europe were sown by the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. In its final form, the treaty places full blame for the war on Germany and Austria-Hungary, as well as extracted harsh financial reparations and lead to territorial dismemberment”. (Kennedy Hickman)

The Treaty of Versailles created an enormous burden on post WWI Germany. The treaty came more as a punishment than an olive branch. This cause deep and extreme sense of resentment and humiliation for the war battered German Nation it stripped them from economic power, its pride and their army the underline of their fight. Some would say that “the Treaty of Versailles were not as harsh as was commonly made out” (John Plowright) and others would disagree. We may argue and even disagree for the many causes of World War II there is one point most would agree with, blinded by anger, need for revenge and desire to show their ability to dominate Germany needed a leader, one who despite the means would go the full distance and avenge Germany. This helped bring Adolf Hitler in control of Nazi Germany to rise and gain control and dominate Europe particularly of agrarian resources to the east of Germany.

At the same time the hungry for power and control Imperialistic Japanese Army was on a conquest to rule Asia along with the entire Orient and ultimately and attack on the United State at Pearl Harbor forced America to acknowledge what was happening across the ocean bringing us into action embedding a need for retaliation against the Japanese. America no longer turning the blind eye united with its European allies against the Japanese and Germany thus giving birth to a full on World War
