Germany's Involvment
The nation that was charged with such a brutal history during World War II, the nation that led the Axis powers, and the nation that had a horribly evil leader, Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany was the sole reason why World War II even begun. Going back to the end of World War I, Germany was bankrupt for two main reasons. The first reason was because of the resources and money spent in trying to win World War I, basically "war costs". The second reason was because Germany was charged with paying for the war for some reason. So, Germany had no money and the people were looking for a solution. Then came Adolf Hitler into the scene. Adolf Hitler came in with one, amazingly to good to be true promise, to solve Germany's problems. Hitler announced he was going running to be leader of Germany. Not everyone agreed with Adolf Hitler, they though his plan would not work or it seemed to good to be true or etc. However, these doubts were soon erased when he started forcing people to vote for him. He made the people of Germany fear not agreeing with him.
On September 1, 1939 Adolf Hitler started taking small nations around Germany including Poland, and other nations that were weaker than Germany. During this time, Hitler also changed Germany's government and called it Nazism. Nazism was the practice of the Nazis and included racism, a great amount of nationalism, and expansion. Nazism also included a lot of totalitarianism aspects. Hitler also declared a k.o.s. on all Jewish people as because according to Adolf Hitler, they were the cause of all of Nazi Germany's problems and that they had to be abolished. This started what is known as, the Holocaust. This horrible time period in World History marked the most brutal, most horrible, most mentally scarring attempt at genicide in history. Millions of Jewish people in countries like Poland were brutally murdered in concentration camps. The most famous concentration camp is Aushiwitz. This German concentration camp killed so many Jewish people in so many horrible ways, it was Hell on Earth. This is part of the reason the Allied forces stepped in.
On September 3, 1939, in response to the invasion of Poland, the people of Great Britain and France had enough of what was going in Western Europe and decided it was about time they stepped in. So Great Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany. Germany knew this would happen eventually and already had forces ready. The beginning of World War II was brewing. Germany had made Allies with Italy and the Empire of Japan so Germany was ready for war. The only ally Great Britain had was France however France proved to be quite useless in the war. France actually provided Germany with more bases when it was captured on May 10, 1940. This left Great Britain on its own to fight the Axis until Nazi Germany made a huge mistake. On June 22, 1941, Adolf Hitler decided to break the "Nazi-Soviet-Pack" and began "Operation Barbarossa" which sent Nazi troops onto Soviet land. This was an obvious act of war and Russia prepared for battle. Due to Russia and Great Britain having a common enemy, Russia joined the Allies.
The second huge mistake the Axis powers made was attacking the United States Naval Base in Hawaii. This attack got America invovled in the war. Now it was three powerful countries versus two powerful countries and somewhat powerful country which was Italy. Eventually even Italy would change sides in the war in the year of 1943. Now it was four countries against two greatly weakened countries that were falling apart due to their leaders. Eventually, Nazi Germany fell in the year 1945 when Adolf Hitler committed suicide, along with his famliy and the Soviets captured Berlin. After the war, Germany was left with virtually nothing, Hitler's solution brought chaos to the streets of Germany. The people did not know what to do. On top of that, they were recieving a lot of anger from the countries and people around them, especially the Jewish communities who made it out of World War II alive. The Geneva Convention was created in 1949 in order to prevent the atrocities commited by the Nazis' in the war. Peace fell onto the world.
