How did the Treaty of Versailles contribute to the start of World War II? Why was Hitler allowed to break the treaty?

Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Answered by ExamLex AI

The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, contributed to the start of World War II in several ways. First, the treaty imposed heavy reparations on Germany, leading to economic hardship and resentment among the German people. Additionally, the treaty placed strict limitations on the size and capabilities of the German military, which was seen as humiliating and unfair by many Germans. These factors created a sense of injustice and humiliation in Germany, which fueled the rise of nationalism and militarism, ultimately laying the groundwork for the aggressive expansionist policies of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Hitler was allowed to break the treaty for several reasons. First, the other major powers, particularly France and Britain, were preoccupied with their own domestic issues and were hesitant to confront Germany militarily. Additionally, many leaders in the West were initially unaware of the extent of Hitler's ambitions and underestimated the threat posed by Nazi Germany. Furthermore, some leaders in the West, particularly in Britain, were sympathetic to Germany's grievances regarding the Treaty of Versailles and were willing to appease Hitler in the hopes of avoiding another devastating war. These factors, combined with a policy of appeasement and a reluctance to confront Germany, allowed Hitler to break the treaty and pursue his aggressive expansionist policies, ultimately leading to the outbreak of World War II.

Why did Hitler want to make Europe Judenrein? In your opinion,was the Holocaust a unique event of unprecedented and unparalleled evil or was it one specific instance of a more general human wickedness that has found expression throughout history? Explain.

Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Answered by ExamLex AI

Hitler wanted to make Europe Judenrein, or "free of Jews," because he was a fervent anti-Semite who believed that Jews were responsible for many of the world's problems. He saw them as a threat to his vision of a pure Aryan race and sought to eliminate them from Europe through the Holocaust. In my opinion, the Holocaust was a unique event of unprecedented and unparalleled evil. While human wickedness has certainly found expression throughout history in various forms, the systematic and industrialized nature of the Holocaust sets it apart from other instances of cruelty and persecution. The scale and efficiency with which the Nazis carried out the genocide of six million Jews, as well as millions of others including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents, is unparalleled in history. The Holocaust represents a dark chapter in human history that serves as a stark reminder of the depths of human depravity and the importance of vigilance against hatred and intolerance.
