World War I and World War II, the largest wars to have ever taken place in history. Together these wars ended with over 77 million courageous lives lost within 10 years. These were the two most important wars to have ever taken place and the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Poland, and South Africa) had won them both against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire) and Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, and Hungary). Today, most people don’t realize the significance of these Allied victories or even how or why the Allies had one the two largest wars in world history. This is why I am going to describe the main questions people have of the Allied victories during World War I and World War II.
The first question many people ask is how and why did the Allies win World War I and World War II? To begin many would say that the U.S. was the main reason the Allies had won the two largest wars in the world. However, even though the U.S. did make a huge contribution to the wins. Ultimately it was the combined economics and industries of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Poland, and South Africa, that allowed for the Allies to triumph over the Central and Axis Powers. Without the money or industries that they accumulated they would not have been able to transport the weapons, food, or ammunition to the troops or later create the A-bomb that led to the winning of World War 2. Therefore, although there were many reasons for the Central and Axis Powers defeat. The main reason is the incredible economics and industries of the Allied Powers.
The second question many ask is how did the Allies defeat the Central Powers in the Great War and the Axis Powers in the Second World War? During World War I the Allies,

Germany

...Phase C 1929-1933: With the Wall St. Crash and the Great Depression, the WR comes ‘crashing’ down! Of course, during each phase, the Nazis were experiencing their own political rollercoaster ride. Broadly speaking, whenever the WR was enjoying success, the Nazis were not, and vice versa. More about that later. What was the Weimar Republic and why was it set up? A lot of students struggle to get to grips with this, but it’s really very simple! The Weimar Republic is the name of a new government that was set up in 1918 to rule Germany. Before 1918, Germany had been a monarchy. The ruling monarch was the Kaiser - Kaiser Wilhelm II. In 1918, there was a revolution in Germany, and the Kaiser abdicated.

Allies say that they will carry on the war if Germans do not sign. ▪ For many Germans the defeat in WW1, national humiliation, the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar constitution & democracy are all linked – helps explain why democracy is weak in Germany ▪ Terms of the Treaty – ▪ Germany has to pay REPARATIONS (fixed in 1921 as £6600 million) ▪ Germany loses all its COLONIES (overseas parts of their empire) ▪ German army limited to 100,000 men with no air force & a small navy with only 6 battleships and no submarines ▪ 13% of Germany is now transferred to neighbouring countries as the map is redrawn ▪ Germany loses land to France (Alsace-Lorraine), Belgium, Poland (Posen & West Prussia) & Denmark ▪ 15% of German coal mines are lost in map changes ▪ Many Germans blame the defeat in the war on “the stab in the back” (DOLCHSTOSS) – i.e. the Socialists / Communists / Jews betrayed Germany & the army was never defeated. This myth makes it harder to accept the Treaty ▪ Treaty weakened democracy in Germany and the German economy ▪ Friedrich Ebert appointed Chancellor in October 1918 2) The Weimar Constitution ▪ A National Assembly was elected to write this new constitution ▪ It met in Weimar because Berlin was...
