Events—especially enormous, multifaceted events—have multiple causes and multiple inputs. A proximate cause is an incident that appears to directly trigger an event, as the election of Abraham Lincoln in November and the shelling of Fort Sumter led to the outbreak of the Civil War.
In the case of the Civil War, for example, historians often point to the growing sectional polarization that divided the nation in the s and s, the national debate over the future of slavery, and the divergent economic paths that distinguished North and South during the antebellum period.
In the case of the Second World War, historians generally point to a series of conditions that helped contribute to its outbreak. The unbalanced Treaty of Versailles which forced a crippling peace on Germany to end the First World War and the global depression that enveloped the world during the s which led to particularly desperate conditions in many European nations as well as the United States usually emerge as two of the most crucial.
Beside above, how did the first world war lead to the second? The British and French went along with this to start with, but finally, when Hitler invaded Poland in he said it was to regain land taken from Germany after the First World War they reluctantly decided to go to war again. The Treaty of Versailles, ending the First World War , was intended as vengeance and to cause suffering to the Germans.
Their colonies were surrendered, military shortened, and were made to pay massive reparations for the war. Adolf Hitler was one of the causes of World War 2 because he wanted to gain what Germany had lost from the previous war.
Germans were angry due to the effects of the Treaty of Versailles. How long was World War 2? What country has the most deaths in World War 2? Soviet Union. What killed the most soldiers in ww1? Killed, wounded, and missing. The greatest number of casualties and wounds were inflicted by artillery, followed by small arms, and then by poison gas.
Over 60 million people died in World War II. Estimated deaths range from million. German Nazis committed genocide against Jews and Romanis, people with disabilities, Poles, homosexuals, Jehovah's witnesses and Afro-Germans.

Mostly static in nature, mobility was minimal. Nuclear power and missiles were used, modern concepts of covert and special operations. Submarines and tanks were also more heavily used.
Encryption codes for secret communication became more complex. Germany used the Blitzkrieg fighting method. Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires ceased to exist. The League of Nations was formed in the hope of preventing another such conflict.
The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over Germany and Japan in The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers. The United Nations was established to foster international cooperation and prevent conflicts.
Post-war politics Resentment with the onerous terms of the Treaty of Versailles fueled the rise of Adolf Hitler's party in Germany. The first Red Scare in the U. The wars in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea were, in a sense, proxy wars between the two nations. Nature of war War between countries for acquiring colonies or territory or resources.

He was killed by Serbian nationalists. Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia. At same time Germany invaded Belgium , Luxembourg and France Russia attacked Germany Several alliances formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; as all had colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world.
Political and economic instability in Germany, combined with bitterness over its defeat in World War I and the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Over 60 million people died in World War II. Estimated deaths range from million. A third 33 percent would be killed. While recovered sick and wounded would be recycled through the Battalion, very few would served sic to the end of the war unscathed.
Some 75 million people died in World War II, including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians, many of whom died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation. The war ended in after Nato bombed the Bosnian Serbs and Muslim and Croat armies made gains on the ground.
A US-brokered peace divided Bosnia into two self-governing entities, a Bosnian Serb republic and a Muslim-Croat federation lightly bound by a central government.
This shows that WW2 was directly impacted by WW1 and was a straight continuation. But when another major conflict happened from to , the two events became known as the First World War and the Second World War. As with book titles, this sounds less like separate wars and more like two parts of the same story. Why do the historians in this clip argue that the wars were connected? The treaty of Versailles instigated another war because it got Germans mad.
