After World War I, Germany was defeated. The peace agreement that ended the war left the country humiliated but not crippled. In

their humiliation, Germans looked for a powerful leader. Many Germans were dissatisfied with their government and wanted change. In the 1930’s, a political group called the Nazi Party came to power.
A man named Adolf Hitler was the Fuhrer, or supreme leader of the Nazi Party. In 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. He became head of the German parliament. Hitler wanted power. He broke the World War I peace treaty and began to build an army. Hitler threatened the balance of peace all over Europe.

Meanwhile, two other countries were following Germany’s lead. Powerful dictators in Italy and Japan were building up their own armies. Italy, Japan, and Germany would become the Axis Powers of World War II. Their hunger for military might was quite different from the U.S.’s desire for peace. The United States watched the other countries from a distance. People in the U.S. were worried, but they were isolationists. Americans did not want to get involved in another European war.

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. World War II began. Britain and France were allies with Poland and declared war on Germany. Hitler’s strategy was called blitzkrieg. This German word translates to "lightning war.” The German army toppled countries before the countries knew what hit them. By June, Hitler had captured Paris, France.

For two years the United States tried to ignore the war. At the end of 1941, the U.S. was pulled into the war. The country was attacked by Japan. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. declared war on Japan. In return, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. For the second time in 25 years, the world was fighting a global war.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

People who oppose the War on Drugs argue that drug offenders should not be incarcerated because most of them are not violent criminals, and being a drug addict should not be considered a crime but a disease, and correspondingly, should be treated by medical professionals.

Unfair incarceration of drug offenders contributes to the break up of families, specially in low-income areas, and this phenomenon as a whole affects society. Children born in households with incarcerated parents are more likely to be poor, to become addicts themselves, or to commit crimes in the future.
