Was Hitler The Preeminent Cause Of World War Two?

After analysing all of the evidence from all of the historians, I have come to the conclusion that the preeminent cause of WWII was Adolf Hitler. Using the primary evidence from the historians that stated, “ On January 30, 1933, just 14 years after those in Versailles gathered to create a new peaceful order, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of the wealthiest, most populous, and most militarist nation in Europe. The rest, as they say, is history.” The reason I have come to this conclusion is because of the aggressive territorial expansion of Nazi Germany while under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Hitlers aggressive policy led to the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and the invasion of Poland. That then led to the outbreak of World War II. The evidence that led to this conclusion is the fact that John Maynard explains how the Nazis regime contributed to the rise of Hitler and the outbreak of the second war. Without this event taking place there would have been no Adolf Hitler becoming chancellor and controlling Germany. Therefore this is the preeminent cause of World War II.

While the Weimar Republic faced significant challenges, including economic instability, political issues and social unrest, it can not be considered the preeminent cause of World War II. The Weimar Republic was in power during the period of appeasement that allowed the Nazi Germany to expand its territory and military power, but it was the aggressive policies of the Nazi Germany, particularly under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Which is what led to the outbreak of WWII. The Weimar Republic can not be held solely responsible for the rise of the Nazi party because there were other factors that helped the rise of the Nazi party, like the legacy of World War
