World War II
World War II was a monumental event in history. This is because of the many things that led up to it. There is one question about the war that people still ask today. Was World War II justified? I believe that World War II was not justified because Britain and France were trying to be kind to Hitler, Japan shouldn’t have invaded Manchuria and China, and Germany shouldn’t have broken the Treaty Of Versailles.
Is Hitler forming an army? Does he want to start war? We have to do something. These were the thoughts that raced through the minds of Britain and France after World War I. The last thing that they wanted was to go to war again. They figured that if they were nice to Hitler and made him happy, he wouldn’t want to go to war. It seemed like a good plan at the time, but then it backfired very quickly. Instead, their actions made Hitler feel more powerful and it bought him more time to form his army.

World War II was a war that started because of a Fammious not so good leader named Adolf Hitler who made it really clear that he was antisemitic and wanted Jews to be a thing of the past. He started mass genocide against Jews in 1933 when he came into power. Then, on September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, which started World War II single handly until September 2, 1945, when he killed himself in a bunker. And this made World War II justified because of the mass genocide of Jews and civilians, and the sure amount of power Hitler had over Europe.

If the European nations didn’t follow Hitler then they could have stopped him from growing more powerful and stopped him from starting another war. The European nations appeased to Hitler’s demands because they all feared another great war. The broadcast by William Shirer states,”the Big Four... dispel the clouds of war and come to an agreement over the partition of Czechoslovakia. There is to be no European war… the price of that peace is...the ceding by Czechoslovakia of the Sudeten territory to Herr Hitler’s Germany” (Document 4).

He knew that as long as he promised to keep the peace there would be no repercussions for his actions.
