Question

How did the world come to the brink of a second world war? (at least 2 paragraphs pls help!)

Answer 1

Answer:

The cause of ww2 in the European theater was because of the result of ww1. Germany was punished by the Treaty of Versailles, in which they had to limit their military power, pay for the war damages, and accept war guilt. When Hitler took over, he hated the Treaty and was a during ww1. He was extremely loyal to Germany during that time. Breaking the treaty, he built advanced planes and increased the military population. He invaded Czechoslavakia breaking the promise with the Allies in which they said they'll give Hitler what he wants if he didn't invade it. When Hitler invaded Poland in September 1, 1939, France and Britain declared war on Germany.  

The cause of ww2 in the Pacific Theater was because Japan wanted resources such as oil and rubber. They worked their way through the Korean peninsula through China. They wanted to move southward to get the resources but the problem was the American navy. They knew they wouldn't stand a chance against them, so they bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 to weaken the American navy forces in the south of Asia. Luckily, the Japanese didn't bomb the Fuel Storage Tanks and the Naval Repair Yards which means the U.S Navy would be up and running again. A day after the attack, Roosevelt had no choice but to declare war on Japan. Winston Churchill then declared war on Japan and Hitler declared war on America, even though it was absolutely unnecessary to do so. Please mark Brainliest.
