Western Civilization
What were the causes of the World War II? Do you believe that the war could have been prevented? Why or Why not?After the fall of the Weimar government, and the rise to power of the National Socialists headed by Adolph Hitler, Germany underwent huge transformations. One of the largest of these was the change in foreign policy. Between the years of 1933 and 1936, while the Nazis began to consolidate their power, Hitler's foreign policy was one of appeasement. Germany did what ever it could to keep peace and tensions low between itself and Great Britain, Italy and the USSR. Germany used this appeasement to keep peace long enough to fully gain control of the country. After 1936, their policy changed.Nazi Germany's foreign policy towards Great Britain was "do what ever it takes to keep them happy". Germany wasn't ready to have them as an enemy yet. Hitler felt that the longer he had to prepare for war the better. One of the friendly agreements was the allowing of the British rearmament by Germany. This was the first time that Germany tried to drive a wedge between France and Great Britain. Hitler offered to concede substantial rearmament to
Space Race:The US had entered the era of the Space Race. Roosevelt knew he was going to drop the bomb when he went to Yalta. Could the Cold War have been prevented? Yes. He knew when he was signing the agreement at Yalta that democracy was not going to happen. In this treaty, both counties received what they needed most, for Germany it was jobs and a place to sell goods, and for the USSR is was a reliable source of quality goods. Instead of rejecting the "invitation", Germany using very clever diplomatic technique, replied by offering one such bilateral agreement, in which Germany would gain colonial power, along with a sphere of preservation. Hitler knew that German forces could defeat the French on land, but by sea, they needed to build. This treaty was a loose agreement, which held the two countries together until the Pact of Steel was signed in1939. The Germans were faced with the French on the west, and the Russians on the east, To alleviate this problem was to form some sort of alliance with one of the two. When Roosevelt negotiated at Yalta, he did not feel the pain of a populous destroyed by fire bombing or Nazi death camps. I believe that that the war could have been prevented had Neville Chamberlin, the British Prime minister not been so afraid of war. Hitler found a way to get around this, and it was by having men who wanted to join the German army, join the SA or the SS. It seemed that Chamberlin sacrificed Czechoslovakia in order to save his own country. Even though Hitler's policy was one of appeasement, it more often was a planned gamble. The Space Race was a political struggle with militaristic drives.
