Soon after the Treaty of Versailles’ ratification, Hitler unified Germany by scapegoating Jews and “liberal traitors”, radicalized a new Nazi nationalism, and used anger towards the Treaty of Versailles as a platform to create “justified” conflicts with other nations. Meanwhile, over in Japan, increased propaganda directed at youth, such as the Japanese booklet in Doc. J, ridiculed Western leaders (creating tension) and glorified Japan’s taking over of surrounding land in an attempt to foster Japanese pride, a behavior that would prove to effectively intimidate the Western powers.

C) led to a national sense of American “superiority”, which isolated it from the rest of the world while granting further unification. Finally, in Italy, Mussolini united his people under a new doctrine of Fascism, which attacked all forms of communism, socialism, and capitalism.

In America during both the time period of 1840s-1850s and 1910s-1920s, resistance to immigrants happened through social and political movements such as the KKK and nativist movements.
