Answer:

The Treaty of Paris, which ended World War 1, actually played a large part in setting the stage for World War 2.

Explanation:

Humiliated in defeat, crushed by debilitating war reparation payments, and angered by the war guilt clause, Germany came out of the war a truly weak nation. Not only did they suffer the most dead during the war, but now they had to deal with all the pain of the peace treaty. The economy collapsed, caused in huge part to the payments Germany had to make to the Allies as a sort of compensation. The treaty forced Germany to admit to causing the war, even though there were plenty of other people involved - further angering the German people.

The worldwide Great Depression of the 1930s essentially nailed the coffin for postwar Germany. Their already brutal economic situation, caused by perhaps the worst inflation in history, became worse. Unemployment skyrocketed. The German people needed a leader to bring them out of the hole, who they found in Adolf Hitler. He stoked the people's fire, appealing to their anger from defeat in World War 1 and their hopelessness from their financial crisis. He eventually rallied enough support to take over the government.

Answer:

<h2>The Red Scare</h2><h3>(technically, the First Red Scare)</h3>

Explanation:

What historians refer to as the first Red Scare occurred from 1919 to the early 1920s in the United States, following the Bolsvhevik Revolution which brought communism to power in Russia. The Bolsheviks (meaning "the Majority") were the communist faction that led a successful overthrow of the regime of the tsar in Russia in 1917. They weren't a "majority" in Russia, but they were the dominant group within the Russian communist movement. Civil war in Russia followed during the next years, from 1917 into the early 1920s, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1922. There was fear in the United States (as there was elsewhere in the world) that communism would begin to spread further, beyond Russia. Attorney General Mitchell Palmer used that fear as an excuse to arrest suspected radicals in the United States.

The more common reference to "The Red Scare" usually refers to what historically was the second Red Scare, from the late 1940s to late 1950s in the United States. Following World War 2, as the Cold War developed and the Soviet Union was gathering allies, there was even greater fear -- and fear-mongering -- in the United States about the threat of communism. The Second Red Scare was when The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created and when Senator Joseph McCarthy began a campaign of accusations against suspected communists in various sectors of American life.
