Cause And Effects of WWII
World War II was caused by several dictators rising into power and creating a tolitarianism government. The biggest countries to do so were Germany, Italy, and Japan. Japan however never became a full tolitarianism country but instead stayed a monarchy controlled by aggressive military leaders. The restrictions put on Germany after World War I contributed a great deal to WWII. Hitler used the restrictions as propaganda against the allies and gave the Germans a reason to rebel against the treaty of Versailles . This led to the Nazi war party rising in Germany. Benito Mussolini was another dictator that rose up in Italy. He founded the Fascist Party which quickly gained momentum in Italy. Fearing a revolution King Charles gave the power to create a new government to Mussolini who made himself the Il Duce or the leader. He then consolidated power over the military and ruled Italy with an Iron Fist. These three countries formed an alliance called the Axis Powers. At this time the allies were only made up of a few countries in Europe after the Soviet Union and The United States left the League of Nations to become isolated. The United States and the Soviet Union would not have entered WWII if not for invasions into Soviet territory by Germany and the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. The Axis Powers might have captured all of Western Europe if not for the Soviets joining WWII and attacking on the eastern side of Germany. Japan also suffered from the United States entering the war as the US was able to capture key islands in the pacific that had not been fortified enough by the Imperial Army. The war ended with a split and weakened NAZI army fighting a war on two fronts and the battered and dwindling Japanese army surrendering after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
