World War I ended in 1918, but the Treaty of Versailles left many issues unresolved and in 1939, World War II began. In a brief essay, describe the major causes of World War II, and explain how the response of the League of Nations and of Britain, France, and other European nations to Axis aggression contributed to the start of the war?

Answer is in the explanation area.

Explanation:

The treaty of Versailles took away many things from Germany, including land, and forced Germany to decrease its military size. Germany also had to pay a lot of money to its enemy countries. Many of these factors lead to an economic depression in the country. Germans were angry at the treaty of Versailles and how it left their country, so when Adolf Hitler promised to fix all of Germany's problems, he got elected as chancellor. Once he came into power, he broke the treaty by expanding Germany's military size, and tried to take control of the land Germany lost. In the beginning, the allied powers did almost nothing to try to stop this, until Germany attempted to invade Poland. The allied powers said that if he invaded Poland, then they will start a war. Hitler was used to no one stopping him so he invaded Poland anyways, which marks the start of World War 2.
