4 0

The major causes for the start and development of the World War II are the expansionism, nationalism, and natural resources.

This war was started because of the territorial appetites of some countries, namely Germany, Italy, and Japan, each them having their own vision and primary goal. Germany wanted to take over all the historic territories where the Germanic people lived, Italy wanted to resurrect the Roman Empire, while Japan wanted to get hold onto parts of Asia that were rich in natural resources as they have very few.

The nationalism led to mass murders on ethnic basis, with Germany and Japan being the biggest contributors to that, killing all the people that they considered as lesser human being or not suitable.

The natural resources were also one of the main reasons. Germany was trying to get to multiple places that were rich in natural resources, especially with oil, which is why the Soviets were attacked, so that Germany can get its hands on Azerbaijan. Japan too wanted and managed to conquer territories that were rich in oil and metals, as well as other natural resources, providing them with basis for further expansion and strengthening.

What do those who are revolting in The Russian Revolution want? Was it dangerous for those revolting, if so why?

Black_prince [1.1K]

The Russian revolutionaries wanted something more than famine and injustice -- and that's much of what existed in Russia at that time. They wanted equality for all persons. That was a big goal of the communist agenda, and the Russian Revolution was a communist endeavor. They wanted to achieve that equality both in terms of wealth/property and in terms of political status and rights.

Was it dangerous? Absolutely. The reign of the tsars had gone on in Russia for centuries, and military victory over the tsar's armies had to be won for the revolution to succeed. And it was not going to be easy to make the nation better off, even after the revolution. The people would expect results from the new government. Those results were going to be hard to achieve.

Over time, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which was the nation brought about by the Russian Revolution, has to become more and more authoritarian and repressive to keep its agenda going. And eventually that agenda failed, when about 75 years after the revolution, the USSR's government collapsed.
