How Did Joseph Stalin Effect On Germany
World War I directly influenced the beginning of World War II. Many believed that the Treaty of Versailles would keep Germany weak and did not expect another worldly attack, but little did they know. Putting all the blame and consequences on Germany also led others to predict World War II. The peace settlement after World War I made Germany very angry and desirable for revenge, thus leading to World War II. The Treaty of Versailles put germany in a very poor state. The document consisted of fifteen parts and four-hundred and forty parts. Part one created a new League of Nations that germany could not be apart of. Part two specified Germany’s new boundaries after most of their land was taken. Part five disarmed and reduced Germany’s armies and didn’t allow the use of certain weapons. Part nine imposed numerous other financial obligations upon Germany. As well as eleven more conditions all upon Germany. Germany signed the treaty under protest. The U.S. senate refused to

ratify the treaty, and took no responsibility in most of the conditions on it. For five years the treaties agreements were enforced intensely, and then due to other pressures slowly got preoccupied. After Germany violated many disarmament provisions, Hitler denounced the treaty altogether in 1935. The Germans felt very mistreated at the end of World War I and seeked revenge therefore turning to Hitler who promised to make them strong again. World War I caused many problems in many countries after it was over. Germany was sent into chaos after the Treaty of Versailles, but they weren't the only ones. Russia and Italy were also having problems. With chaos circulating the European and Russian continent, people often look to powerful individuals that they hope will do what is necessary to get their country back to a normal state. In Italy’s case this person of power was Benito Mussolini, in Germany it was Adolf Hitler, and in Russia it wa Joseph Stalin. These leaders weach became very powerful and promised a return to the countries normalcy, or even better. First, three years after WWI, Mussolini came to power in 1922. He was not very powerful, but became more powerful through riots and marches. To gain more power, Mussolini set up a party of backshirts who would spread the word about his fascist party and beat up those from other political parties. Mussolini also declared that the blackshirts would not stop until he was appointed chancellor, eventually the King appointed Benito mussolini as chancellor because he wanted the blackshirts to end. Mussolini began ruling lawfully for the first three years then turned into a dictator. He began to take away freedoms he thought were unnecessary. Throughout his actions as a dictator, he still maintained support of the people because in ways he did return italy to a stronger state that people had hoped for. Mussolini’s first strike was expanding its territory to take over Ethiopia, and when doing so the League of Nations didn’t stand up to him as he thought they would have, so he felt very successful. If the League of Nations would have took action like they said they would, Mussolini would not have continued to pursue Ethiopia.
Second, Adolf Hitler became leader of the Nazi Party and slowly worked his way to leadership over Germany. He served in Germany's military several times, along with becoming a spy. He then worked his way to important roles in these spy organizations until he became the head of the NSDAP, which lead to leader of the Nazi Party and displayed himself as a public figure. When the Great Depression hit in 1929, Hitler was determined to gain political power and began to build up Nazi support among German conservatives. In 1932, Adolf Hitler would be named as chancellor due to the governments chaotic state. He then passed a law only allowing one political party, the Nazi Party. From then on he turned his focus to rebuilding Germany’s military as well as expansion. Hitler gained full power throughout Germany after the death of Germany’s president when they decided to combine the presidency and chancellors roles of leadership together. On June 29, 1934, Hitler had hundreds of problematic members of his own party murdered, along with millions of Jews and other groups of people. Against the advice of many of his generals, Hitler began his motions to reoccupy some of its territories and make alliances with other countries. No resistance from the League of Nations, who was to top these actions, once again.
Lastly, Joseph Stalin came to power in Russia in 1924, which was changed to the Soviet Union, after Vladimir Lenin’s death.
Stalin had very specific plans for Russia. He didn’t like the amount of Russian deaths in WWI, and wanted to industrialize the Soviet Union to prevent the amount of Russian deaths if there were to be another war. Stalin also wanted to take total control of the Soviet Union and destroy the old party leadership. He had many people removed from power and exiled. As his paranoia set in, he conducted a reign of terror among the people, executing potential rivals. He then extended beyond the political party elites to local officials who were suspected of different activities. He killed millions in forced labor, starvation, and labor camps. Stalin signed a nonaggression pact with Adolf Hitler, he was very convinced of Hitler’s integrity and promises and did not imagine him invading the Soviet Union. Until he did, and the Soviet Union was unprepared and suffered massive
losses. Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union’s new person of power initiated different things in the start of World War II. The League of Nations took apart of this as well. They were supposed to stand up to the countries that acted out from the beginning, but they failed to do so several times. They failed to stop these countries in fear of causing another World War, but what they didn’t know was by not interfering it still caused a World War. After Mussolini invaded Ethiopia with no repercussions from the League of Nations, Hitler decided to try his luck with it too. As the League of Nations continually did not uphold Germany's deal in the Treaty of Versailles , Adolf Hitler challenged the rules and limits more and more. After Hitler wants to invade Czechoslovakia, the League finally steps up and meets with Germany and makes a new compromising pact. Hitler shortly breaks th epact to prove he cannot be trusted. Then Hitler invades Poland, thus basically starting World War II. World War I did have a huge effect on influencing World War II. It allowed chaos and despair among nations and their citizens. It caused them to look for someone to fix their country and allow them to rise back up. Were they looking for people to do such evil and cause another World War? No, they were looking for hope, but just turned to the wrong people. The treatment and punishments of Germany after WWI did provoke such redemption. The predictions of Germany causing another World War, due to their first punishments, does in fact turn out to be true.
