Why? (underlying causes of WWII)Treaty of Versailles
•Germany lost land to surrounding nations
•War Reparations
1) Allies collect $ to pay back war debts to U.S.
2) Germany must pay $57 trillion (modern equivalent)
3) Bankrupted the German economy & embarrassed GermansLloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Woodrow Wilson
during negotiations for the Treaty
Why? (underlying causes of WWII)World-wide DepressionA. The Depression
made Germany’s debt even worse
B. Desperate people turn to desperate leaders
1) Hitler seemed to provide solutions to Germany’s problems
1923 - Wallpapering with German Deutchmarks
Why? (underlying causes of WWII)World-wide DepressionHitler provided
scapegoats for Germany’s problems (foreigners, Jews, communists, Roma (Gypsies), mentally ill, homosexuals)
Kristallnacht - vandalism & destruction of Jewish property & synagogues
Why?• Rise of Totalitarian Regimes
In a Totalitarian country, individual rights are not viewed as important as the needs of the nation
Totalitarianism
Communist Dictatorship
(USSR)
Fascist Dictatorship
(Germany, Italy)
Military Dictatorship
(Japan)
Fascism: military government with
based on racism & nationalism with strong support
from the business community
Why?• Isolationism of Major Powers
A. Why was the U.S. Isolationist?
1. Great Depression (problems at home)
2. Perceptions of WWIa. WWI did not seem to solve much
b. People began to think that we’d got into WWI for the wrong reasons (greedy American businessmen!)
Why?• Isolationism of Major Powers
Opposition to war (Pacifism)
Kellogg-Briand pact - condemned war as a way to solving conflicts
•August 28, 1928, by the US, France, UK, Italy, Japan, Germany and a number of other countries
Why?• Isolationism of Major Powers
This led to policies of “Appeasement” 1. Appeasement: give dictators what they want and hope that they won’t want anything else
2. Begins with Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Italian invasion of Ethiopia, and continues with Hitler . . .
So What Was Hitler Asking For?
• Return of German Speaking Lands - “Lebensraum”

• Return of German Speaking Lands
•Nonaggression Pact Russia stays out of the war in return for 1/2 of Poland
Hitler's triumphal entry into Danzig, Poland 1939
•Great Britain & France finally declare war on Germany

•Denmark
•Norway
• The Netherlands,
•France
Hitler in Paris
Pacific Theater of Pacific Theater of OperationsOperations
Meanwhile … in the Pacific• Pearl Harbor: “a date which will live in infamy”
USS Arizona Sinking in Pearl Harbor
What?•Surprise attack by the Japanese on American forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Effect? •US declares war on
Japan & other Axis powers
““Tokyo Rose”Tokyo Rose”
American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions

1939-1945
Map of ALL things.....
U. S. Entry into War
• Response to Japanese gamble that it could effect the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and U. S. wouldn’t effectively challenge
• U. S. war in Europe resulted from Hitler’s declaration of War on U. S. on Dec. 11, following U. S. declaration of War on Japan on Dec. 8.
World War II
• Transforming event at home and abroad• U. S. had to mobilize society and economy at
unprecedented levels• War shape experiences of a generation and had
particular impacts on Women, African-Americans, Mexicanos, and Japanese-Americans.
• U. S. military strategy in war: Europe first, then Japan.
Holding Action in Pacific
• Pacific had become a Japanese lake by Spring ’42, with the fall of the Philippines.
• U. S. victories at Coral Sea (May 7-8, 1942), Midway (June 4-5, 1942), and Guadalcanal (August 7, 1942-February 21, 1943) arrested Japanese expansion, and crippled their naval airpower
• This permits U. S. to focus on Europe
The War at Home• War Production Board managed conversion from
civilian to military production• OSRAD—created the bazooka, techniques to
isolate blood plasma• OPA—ration coupons and price ceilings• Smith-Connally War Labor Disputes Act allowed
government to seize plants useful to war when there were strikes
• War inflated national debt by 6x, but 45% of total war costs were paid with tax revenues

One way to understand the violence and slaughter that occurred in the Great War is to examine the number of casualties aand deaths. Exact figures are still in dispute, because of different definitions used each category, the questionable accuracy of the recording system used and the loss or destruction of a number of official documents. The data in the tables below reflect numbers from several sources and are consistant with most experts' current estimates.
