After world war one, Brittan and France thought they had left Germany powerless and they never thought another war would break out. Germany signed the treaty of Versailles which was thought to stop Germany from having any power, yet this was the opposite. The treaty gave Germany the resentment they needed to start another war. Along with the resentment of the treaty the great depression hit which made the germen people desperate and in search for a strong leader, Hitler saw the depression and used this to gain the vote of the germen people. As the threat of fascism was alive throughout the world the LON (league of Nations) couldn’t and didn’t do much to stop Hitler. As a last bid to stop the outbreak of World War 2 the Appeasement policy was created but Hitler just walked over it.
The Treaty of Versailles was created to punish Germany for their involvement in World War 1. Germany were given two choices they either sign the treaty or risk invasion. The terms of the Treaty were harsh which included paying 6 billon dollars having restricted army to 100,000 men but above all the term which was hardest and left the because dint for Germany was accepting full responsibility for world war 1. This embarrassed the germen people and they were searching revenge. The great Depression hit the world in 1929. Germany was hit hard by the depression, the germen people were jobless and penny less. The people of German were seeking a new leader, a strong and fierce leader who would lead them through this depression. Hitler saw this as an opportunity to gain the vote of the people. Hitler promised the germen people jobs and most importantly he would rip up the treaty of Versailles. The desperate germen people new hitler was a violent leader but they were pressured and had no choice but the vote for the nazi party.
