Unit 7.6 - Causes of WW2

"Mustache man got rejected from art school"

Go back to unit 7.5 and 7.4, look at the states that suffered the most
Those two (Germany and Italy), would eventually go to the extremes due to suffering from the consequences of WW1
Rise of Fascism
- Originated in Italy
- Used propaganda and extreme nationalism
- Focuses on state interest rather than the people
- Spread due to appealing to nations in ruins and its people

Look at previous notes on Japan, explanations there.
Italy wanting an empire participated in WW1
- Expanded a bit in Europe but not all the land was promised
- Expanded in last unconquered portions (by European powers) of Africa (Ethiopia)
Germany
- Germany had fallen under Nazi control.
  - Allies Appeased Germany to prevent war.
  - War Broke out when Germany began to invade
  - Allies stopped appeasement
  - Wanted living room for “Aryan race” called Lebensraum
Japan
- Kept on expanding in Asia
- Begun brewing culture of extreme devotion
  - No surrender
  - No stepping back
  - Dying in battle
- Fascism appealed to their government and people
Victorious Powers
- Kept their colonial holding
- Didn’t change much and kept on being colonists.

Basically, people been desperate and turned to Political Extremes Allowed the wrong people to get to power and stay in power
