    THE SECOND GREAT WAR

    Created by: Charlene Eriguel

    INTRODUCTION OF WW2

    THE BEGINNING

    THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES


    The Treaty of Versailles held Germany and
    Austria-Hungary for the entire conflict.
    The Treaty of Versailles were harsh, which led
    to anger Germans.
    The Treaty of Versailles is NOT the direct cause
    of World War II

    ADOLF HITLER

    Adolf Hitler was a German


    politician who was the leader of
    the Nazi Party and Chancellor of
    Germany. As dictator of Nazi
    Germany, he initiated World War
    II in Europe with the invasion of
    Poland in September 1939 and
    was a central figure of the
    Holocaust. Hitler joined World
    War I. Hitler gained popular
    support of Germans by attacking
    the Treaty of Versailles.

    NAZI PARTY

    The National Socialist German


    Workers' Party, was a political
    party in Germany active that
    practised Nazism.

    The Nazis sought to improve the stock of the


    Germanic people through racial purity and eugenics,
    broad social welfare programs, and a collective
    subordination of individual rights, which could be
    sacrificed for the good of the Nazi state and the
    "Aryan master race". To maintain the supposed purity
    and strength of the Aryan race, the Nazis sought to
    exterminate Jews, Romani, and the physically and
    mentally handicapped.
    They imposed exclusionary segregation on
    homosexuals, Africans, Jehovah's Witnesses, and
    political opponents.[10] The persecution reached its
    climax when the party-controlled German state
    organized the systematic murder of approximately six
    million Jews and five million people from the other

    EVENTS IN 1939

    The Spanish Civil War


    the Anschluss (annexation) of Austria
    the occupation of the Sudetenland
    the subsequent invasion of
    Czechoslovakia

    !!!

    The immediate cause of World War 2


    was the German invasion of Poland on
    1 September.

    Britain and France declared war on Germany


    two days after Germany entered Poland but,
    slow to mobilise, they provided little in the way
    of concrete support to their ally, which
    crumbled in the face of Germany's lightning
    war.
