Causes of WWII
World War II was a war that involved most of the world, hence the name WWII, being the second of it’s nature, it is also known as the “Second World War”. This war consisted of two main powers: The Axis (Germany, Italy, and Japan) & The Allies
(America, Great Britain, Soviet Union, and China who also helped with war efforts).
Even though nationalism is a big part of what caused WWII, the Treaty of Versailles, the
Great Depression, and Hitler’s appetite for power are all main causes of WWII.

According to
Article 7 of the treaty:
“If Italy is accorded Trieste and Istria under Article 4, Dalmatia and the Adriatic isles within the borders determined in Article 5 and the Bay of Vlore (Article 6), and if the central part of Albania is preserved for the creation of a small neutralised autonomous State, Italy shall not oppose the division of the northern and southern parts of Albania – if France, Great Britain and Russia so wish –
between Montenegro, Serbia and Greece. The coast from the southern border of the Italian possession of Vlore up to the cape of Stylos shall be neutralised. Italy shall be instructed to represent Albania in its international relations. Italy is agreeable to this arrangement provided that a sufficiently large territory is left in the east of Albania in order to secure the common border to Greece and Serbia in the west of Lake Ohrid.”

This widespread economic crisis caused twentyfive countries to turn into dictatorships between the years of 1929 and 1939. According to the picture, unemployed men would seek work at unemployment bureaus, during the Great
Depression. With the drop of economy, came the drop of tolerance, as America called in it’s loans to Germany.
This causing the collapse of the German industry, which is a direct cause of Hitler’s rise to power. (

Which leads me to my next cause of WWII, Hitler 's quest for power. “Germany will either be a world power, or will not be at all,” this quote from Adolf Hitler shows how powerful he wants to be. Basically saying that Germany is nothing without it’s power.
This same drive for power is the one Hitler fed on as he tried to conquer Europe.
Causing him to be a main cause and one of the biggest supports to WWII becoming as important and big of a war as it did. (

This is why The Treaty of Versailles, The Great Depression and Hitler were the main causes of WWII.
