What were the primary causes of World War II?

War In Europe Mussolini & Hitler June 18,1940 Munich, Germany German expansion Hitler annexed (took over) Austria Claimed the Sudetenland Part of Czechoslovakia Hitler planned to unite all German speaking people Mussolini & Hitler June 18,1940 Munich, Germany

British Prime Minister Munich Conference Leaders of Britain, France, Italy, and Germany met in Munich in 1938 Britain and France agreed to give Hitler the Sudetenland and Hitler promised he would seek no further territory The practice of giving into aggression to avoid war is known as appeasement Appeasement failed when Germany took the rest of Czechoslovakia British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain

Munich Conference Appeasement Fails!

Hitler invades Poland Hitler and Stalin sign a non-aggression pact Promised not to attack each other Hitler launches the blitzkrieg (Lightning war) against Poland Poland quickly falls to Hitler

A Global Conflict After the invasion of Poland: Britain and France declare war on Germany Later, the Allied powers would include: Britain, France, Soviet Union, United States, and China The Soviet Union joined the allies in 1941 after Hitler broke the Non-Aggression pact Italy and Japan join Germany to form the Axis powers

FRANCE SURRENDERS!!! Spring 1940 Hitler’s armies smashed through Denmark, Norway, Holland, and Belgium German armies marched into Paris, France in June 1940 Hitler’s next target was Britain

Hitler in France

Battle of Britain After France fell, Britain stood alone in Europe British Prime Minister Winston Churchill rallied the people as Germany bombed Britain Hitler never gets Britain, this was of great importance to the allied war effort. WHY? Britain gave the Allies a place to launch an offensive against Hitler

Scenes from “The Battle of Britain” Germany’s massive bombardment of Britain

FDR and American Policy FDR tried to help the allies Asked for repeal of Neutrality laws, isolationists in Congress blocked the move Congress agrees to a cash and carry plan Allies could pay cash for arms and goods and carry them home in their own ships The threat of war convinces FDR to run for a third term FDR wins re-election (“Don’t change horses in midstream”)

U.S.A. as the “Arsenal of Democracy” FDR asked Congress to pass the Lend-Lease act The US sent war equipment to any country whose defense was vital to the US FDR and Churchill formed the Atlantic Charter Pledged to support the right of all people to choose their own form of government

The US enters the War! Japan’s war in Asia continued at a brutal pace The US tried to stop Japan’s aggression by refusing to sell oil and metal to Japan An angry Japan launched a surprise attack on the US On Sunday, December 7, 1941 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii 2400 Americans killed, and the US Pacific fleet destroyed FDR asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan Italy and Germany declared war on the US

Conclusion: What were the primary causes of WWII? Anger over Treaty of Versailles (Italy & Germany) Aggression by Germany, Italy, and Japan Failure of world powers US, BR, FR, League of Nations to stand up to aggression The failure of the policy of appeasement The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
