The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to grant territories to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland and to give up all of its colonies. It forced Germany to reduce its military forces to 100,000 men and allowed for the occupation of the Rhineland by the Allied forces. Germany was forced to accept full responsibility for initiating World War I. France demanded huge reparation payments. The defeated powers felt the Treaty was unfair and soon violated the military and financial conditions. When Hitler came into power, he promised to take back the German territories and to demilitarize the Rhineland. The promise of becoming a world power again made the people support him.

Part of the American colonists also began to settle in the area under simple Mexican rule, including the city of present-day Texas.
In 1836, the settlers there started an insurgency against Mexico, and after a brief war, declared the independent Republic of Texas. In the case of Mexico, the accession of Texas to the United States led to the American-Mexican War (1846-1847). US forces defeated Mexico and forced it to hand over 42% of its territory, including California, to the Guadelupe Hidalgo Peace Treaty. On October 18, 1867, America bought Alaska from Russia and thus occupied this part of the country.
