You've seen the movies about World War II. [2] They show soldiers dug into trenches, planes painted with swastikas dropping bombs on cities, concentration camps full of starving and dying people, and countless other scenes of horror. Those movies are based on the real events of what was arguably the bloodiest war the world has ever seen. World War II took place over six years, between 1939 and 1945. Battles took place on three different continents. Approximately 17 million soldiers were killed. Over twice that number of civilians — ordinary people who weren't even sent out to fight — died of starvation, bombings, or mass murder in concentration camps. 2 [3] What made this war happen? What powerful forces could inspire people to sacrifice themselves or to kill others on such a massive scale? Part of the answer to this question is that complex historical relationships swept many countries into the conflict. To understand this, we need to rewind to the end of another huge war, World War I. From 1914 to 1918, the countries of Germany and Austria-Hungary fought against a group of countries, including Great Britain, France, and the Russian Empire. (The United States joined World War I on the side of the latter group in 1917.) After World War I, a peace agreement called the Treaty of Versailles placed all the blame for the war on Germany. Under the terms of the treaty, Germany had to give up much of its territory, drastically shrink its military, and pay heavy reparations to mitigate damages the winning side suffered during the war. Partly because of the strict terms of this treaty, Germany faced major economic challenges in the years that followed. German money underwent rapid inflation and became virtually worthless, thus leaving the majority of people in poverty. The German people grew angry and resentful. [4] acecontent.apexlearning.com/online/eng_IV_cc_sem_2_2014/Unit_2/Lesson_1/Activity_29727/printables/Reading_Materials1011726.htm 1/4 4/9/2020 acecontent.apexlearning.com/online/eng_IV_cc_sem_2_2014/Unit_2/Lesson_1/Activity_29727/printables/Reading_Materials1011726.htm German resentment about the Treaty of Versailles was about not only the reparations but also the limitations to its territory and military. Germany wanted to expand its borders in order to increase its access to economic and political power. Many European countries on the winning side of World War I had recently expanded their territory as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and other peace agreements. And a few countries, especially Great Britain, had spent centuries building vast empires that stretched around the world. By the 1920s and 1930s, Great Britain no longer controlled the domestic affairs of all of the countries in its empire, but it still had access to natural resources, economic markets, and manpower from its political ties around the world. [5] This gave Great Britain an edge over its neighbors. Germany wanted that kind of power, too. [6] During the interwar [7] period, a new political group called the Nazi Party arose in Germany. This party called for restoring Germany's military power and consolidating all German-speaking people into a single country, even though this would violate the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazis also placed much of the blame for Germany's economic problems on the country's Jewish minority. [8] In 1933, a Nazi leader named Adolf Hitler rose to power, and within a short time, transformed his country into a totalitarian dictatorship. [9] He eliminated political parties that opposed the Nazis, began censoring newspapers, and decreed that all children over age 10 had to join youth groups that taught them to follow Nazi beliefs. [10] During this period, Hitler also began violating the Treaty of Versailles. He rebuilt Germany's military, transforming it into a formidable [11] army, and he took over a great deal of land. First, he took over a region called the Rhineland, which Germany had officially given up after World War I. Later, he annexed the country of Austria — with the general support of Austria's people at the time — and seized a German-speaking part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Although Hitler's actions at this time violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, France and Great Britain did little to stop him. Both countries were occupied with their own domestic problems, and neither trusted the other to take a fair share of the responsibility to fight Germany's advances. Rather than take military action, they met with Hitler in Munich, Germany, to talk it out. In this meeting, Hitler promised not to attack any other countries in Europe — but he was lying. In fact, he was already making plans for a sudden, violent invasion of Poland. After the Munich Agreement, the prime minister of Great Britain, Neville Chamberlain, returned home and assured his people that he had secured "peace for our time." 3 But within a few months, Hitler attacked Poland, and Chamberlain became a laughingstock. His declaration of peace was one of the most widely mocked statements of his era. [12] The betrayal of the Munich Agreement was too great for France and Great Britain to overlook. Within days, both countries declared war. Because of Great Britain's political ties around the world, many other countries — such as India, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa — soon declared war as well. In Great Britain, Neville Chamberlain was soon replaced by a new prime minister named Winston Churchill, a military veteran and an inspirational speaker who had been warning his country about Hitler for years. [13] Churchill understood military tactics, and he had the ability to motivate his people to accept the hardships of war. This leads us to another, very powerful reason why so many people were willing to sacrifice themselves and kill others during World War II — words. The public had mocked Neville Chamberlain's pleasant but untrue words about peace, but now they embraced Winston Churchill's grim, gritty words about war. Churchill's first speech after his election did not try to lull people into a false sense of peace. Rather, he gave his people a new, much harsher message about the problems they faced. He said, "I have nothing to offer but blood, tears, toil, and sweat." 4 [14] Harsh as this message was, it was an accurate description of the hardships Great Britain would face in the following years as the country faced a ruthless advancing enemy.

    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > The Great Depression and World War II (1929 and 1945) > Fighting the War Fighting the War [1] Share it now! U.S. involvement in World War II lasted for nearly four years, and more Americans died than in any war except the Civil War — though even those numbers paled in comparison to the carnage other nations endured. For six months after Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces took island after island in the Pacific, and Americans feared an invasion of the West Coast of the United States. In the summer of 1942 the tide of the war in the Pacific began to turn, and for three years, Allied forces fought their way through the Pacific to the shores of Japan. In Europe, the Soviet Union desperately fought the Germans in the east, while American and British troops fought their way through North Africa, invaded Italy, and finally opened a second front in France in 1944. In this chapter you’ll follow the progress of the war from 1942 to 1945. Documentary film, radio broadcasts, contemporary magazine articles, battle maps, and oral histories will help you explore some of the war’s major events.

  • A History of Model League of Nations in the United States
    Chapter One _________ A History of Model League of Nations in the United States The origin of intercollegiate simulations of international organizations in the United States can be traced back more than 90 years ago when Australian-born Professor Hessel Duncan Hall of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University organized a two-day Model Assembly of the League of Nations on April 29-30, 1927.1 According to Professor Hall, the simulation of the Assembly of the League of Nations was “the first time that a Model League Assembly, participated in by a number of universities, has been held in the United States.”2 The New York Times reported that the precedents of the 1927 Model Assembly of the League of Nations at Syracuse University were similar conferences held previously in Great Britain and Japan.3 According to one report, the Oxford University branch of the League of Nations Union (LNU) organized a “model assembly” of the League of Nations in 1921. Foreign students studying at Oxford University participated in the “model assembly” as representatives of some 34 countries, including Australia and India.4 Another report indicated that thirteen student branches of the Japanese League of Nations Association “conceived the idea of holding in Tokyo a public session of a Model League of Nations” in 1925.5 The purposes of the Model Assembly of the League of Nations held at Syracuse University in 1927 were to “enable American and foreign students in New York State to meet for a frank discussion of urgent problems of international relations” and to “give them an opportunity of seeing in action the most important organization for world cooperation ever established.”6 The League of Nations organization, the predecessor of the modern United Nations (U.N.) organization, was established by the allied powers at the end of the First World War.
