Generally accepted, the first victim of the beginning of the war became Poland. The beginning of the World War II, in this aspect, was only a matter of time. Devoid of the ability to have its army, Germany, accustomed to the role of one of the leading world empires could not accept the loss of its domination. Hard to admit that erased from the world history Germany, after its defeat, did not dream of revenge. Redivision of the world in favor of the countries-winners in the war of 1914-1918, primarily England and France, the loss of Germany and its allies significant part of their former territories, the collapse of two major European multinational empires: the Austro-Hungarian and Russian, on the ruins of which there were new nine independent States – Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom, Yugoslavia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, with new, often contentious borders, have become a source of permanent tensions and military conflicts.Īnother one was the competition between the leading powers, their desire for expansion, to the European and world hegemony.
Was another option: Stalin uses a break, given to him by Hitler’s war with the West, to prepare and deploy their own attack.Īnother reason for the War was – territorial disputes, which arose after the First World War, and sometimes a lot sooner. – Then Stalin will move to Europe to bolshevize it and impose there his own rule». “Moscow intends to stay out of the war until Europe … will bleed till the end, he said. As Goebbels imagined this game, which was conducted by the Soviets. Secondly, the West and Germany, leading to one another bloody war, could finally come to a standstill, and then the USSR without a single shot would be in Europe as arbitrator. Firstly, the West could, as in 1918, defeat Germany. Should take into account at least three scenarios.
In 1939, really existed the possibility that, having won the West, Hitler would turn to the USSR but this was only one of several possible options: not the most likely and not the closest. Speaking about the reasons of the Second World War, firstly, the existence of the USSR could not instill fear for Europe. The views of all were chained to Stalin and Hitler and to those unfortunate countries that became trapped between them.
If Stalin and Hitler were united, the West would not be able to stop them. If the US had stayed away, hardly Western countries would have deterred Hitler or Stalin. It was clear that the European governments were preparing for the long war, in which the industrial power of the country will be equally decisive, as and trained troops.It was clear that Stalin and Hitler already had military machines, which no one had in the Europe. At the same time, France has created a new Ministry of defence and nationalized great concern of Schneider Creusot. Thanks to this decision, England in the future will survive. Two years before that, at the insistence of Churchill, England decided to enlarge and re-equip its air force. From August 1938 they had pulled the rest of the countries. The Japanese invaded Manchuria in 1931 and fought a war in Central China from 1937. However, by this time the war was pacing the world for 8 years. In all chronologies, except for those that were once released in the USSR, this year marks “the beginning of the Second world war”. In any book about European history, the 1939 named as a «year, when the world came back to war» or something like that. Causes of the Second World War and the Fate of Poland
