Although Neville Chamberlain tried to do what was right for the country, it never is right to give countries that are threatening yours land or money. The result of Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement are the most severe out of all the factors. Appeasement led Hitler to believe that no one would oppose his expansionist policies. In short, if Europe had abandoned its appeasement policy by 1935 WWII probably could have been averted.
Chamberlain knew that appeasement did not work when the Japanese got what they wanted, so consequently, maybe Chamberlain was naïve to believe that it would work this time.
The Japanese, can be argued to have made World War Two worse. As they are situated in the Far East, this made the war outbreak global. The main reason is the attack on Pearl Harbour. The attack on Pearl Harbor (or bombing of Pearl Harbor) was a and surprise attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii, carried out by naval forces of the Empire of Japan.
On December 8, 1941, Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress, calling 7 December 1941 "a date which will live in infamy". Amid outrage at the attack and the late delivery of the note breaking off relations, actions considered treacherous, Congress declared war on Japan with Jeannette Rankin (Republican of Montana) casting the only dissenting vote. Roosevelt signed the declaration the same day. Continuing to intensify its military mobilization, the U.S. government finished converting to a war economy, a process begun by provision of weapons to the Soviet Union and Great Britain.
In the long term, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a blunder for Japan. Indeed, Admiral Yamamoto, who conceived it, predicted even success could not win a war with the United States, because American productive capacity was too large. One of the main Japanese objectives was to destroy the three American aircraft carriers stationed in the Pacific, but they were not present: Enterprise was returning from Wake Island, Lexington was near Midway Island, and Saratoga was in San Diego following a refit at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Putting most of the U.S. battleships out of commission was regarded—in both navies and by most observers worldwide—as a tremendous success for Japan.
Hitler used the Japanese agression as an obvious weakness in the League of Nations, Britain and France.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed at the end of WWI. The Big Four created Versailles Treaty: France, Great Britain, US, Italy. The Versailles Treaty forced Germany to sign a war guilt clause, pay $33 billion in reparations, permanently reduce the military - the army can only have 100’000 men, eliminate the navy and air force, lose Alsace-Lorraine to France, the Rhineland had to become de-militarized, Germany loses all their colonies, it also guaranteed British and American support in the event of another German attack. Many argue that the Versailles Treaty had a direct influence on the build-up to WWII.
The terms of the treaty were very harsh against Germany. As a result of the reparations Germany was made to pay WWI's winners, by the 1930s the country was in an economic slump, which opened the door for Hitler's National Socialist Party to capture the German electorate's imagination by appealing to wounded national pride and intense resentfulness over the Versailles Treaty's terms.
Hitler came into power during the great depression, due to the Treaty of Versailles this gave Hitler the ability to do anything he wants so long he gets the people of Germany the things they want. Hitler had a chance to persue foreign policy aims. The Treaty of Versailles was seen by many as unfair and therefore Hitler can take many areas without anyone stopping him.
Primarliy, the biggest argument to suggest that Hitler was the main cause of WWII was that without Hitler, his aggressive technique wouldn’t have led to Poland have beeing invaded.
Hitler’s plan was to “fake” his way to a strong Germany. This was a very effective way, it allowed Hitler to take over other countries without losing any men.
