=**Causes of World War II** =

**The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1933 had a major effect on World War II. After Pearl Harbor was attacked, many Americans wanted the opportunity to defend their country. Their were nearly 5 million volunteers, along with 10 million draftees who joined the military as the U.S. prepared for war. During this time the U.S decided to send military to Europe and France to fight in the war. While war was going on in February 1942 the Americans announced the automobiles. (Danzer, ch 17)**



**During World War II about one million African Americans were called to fight in the war. The U.S. fought for the territory that they wanted to claim. In 1943 the Americans and the British attacked Italy. While they attacked, the British nor the Americans had a clue that Germany owned half of Italy. Germany would eventually invade Poland over time and the effects contributed to the cause of WWII. The war officially started with Hitler and territory gain. (Danzer, ch 17)**

**In the 200 years in which the Prussian were involved they made there military powerful and strong. Hitler reignited the Germans after World War I defeat. Britain and France could have defeated Hitler army when they were weak but they decided to totally avoid. The plans were to divide Germany up into sections within its country to prevent this. This plan worked successfully and the Germans had a great defeat. As a result in the defeat the monarchy was dismantled an the military was abolished. ("The Root Causes of World War II")**

**As the Germans had one of the strongest leaders in Hitler he could easily be taken down by military or war coup. The blindness in which this landed in continued to repeat the peasants in Hitler crisis. Before all this time most did not know Hitler came back an tried to resign for his army an tries to take over. Everyone knew Hitler could be a lot to handle, but never expected as much as he brought. The army that he brought with him each time got better an gained troops each year. Hitler was the main cause with this war, along with Poland, his troops never lost until they bumped heads with China. ("The Root Causes of World War II")**

**The Germans owned most of northern Italy which made others a little upset due to there amount of property ownage. During the new republicans the Germans saw a new and peaceful part of the environment. (Beck, ch 16) While all this was going on no one mentioned France, who wanted to resist and change war options due to Germans victories. The amount of leadership Hitler gained over time played an huge role in this portion of the war. Hitler was not named.**

**The outbreak of the war was the invasion of Germany and Poland but the cause was more complex. All this was when Britain an France declared war between Germany. Hitler became councilor of Germany he immediately began putting together the military. Hitler first stop to get the land that was taking from him in war. Even though Germany France and Europe have a lot to do with starting the war Hitler egged it on. Hitler may have tried his best but when the Germans lost war in a defeat the whole country was dismantled. He was a great speaker an had outstanding rule power but in 1933 he did what no one thought he could do and became prime minister. It was unbelievable that a man so weak could become so strong.
