This primary cause of this war was the rapid rise in the power and might of fascist regimes in Italy, Russia and Germany. Along with fascist power, it was the economic conditions of various European nations that gave the likes of Hitler a chance to turn their dream of world domination into a reality. This paper studies various causes of the Second World War and shed lights on Canada?s participation in this war."

Abstract
Examination of Fergusons book in which the author examines the events leading up to the outbreak of the First World War and the factors which caused that war. It explains how this is a work of revisionist history inasmuch as Ferguson dismisses as inadequate or misleading previous attempts by historians and others to explain the origins of the war and offers his own formulation of the causes thereof. Its great strength is the comprehensive manner in which the author deals with the interrelationships among the diplomatic, military, political, economic and social developments of the period and his insights into the internal dynamics in various nations which helped bring on the war. The paper discusses how the author's overall conclusions are, however, poorly supported. They involve leaps in logic and in some cases retrospective speculation, including the questionable use of counter factual scenarios which sometimes border on fantasy, and assumptions which display his own peculiar set of biases.
From the Paper
"World War I was a great calamity for European civilization. The widespread disillusionment with its consequences has generated a large number of varying historical explanations as to why it occurred. Ferguson states at the outset that he is profoundly dissatisfied with previous explanations of the war's origins. In Chapter I, he deals with the belief that the war was the inevitable product of "cultures of militarism," especially Prussian militarism. He says that "in both Britain and in Germany the advocates of increased military preparedness enjoyed only limited success, and certainly failed to win over the majority of voters" (15). He convincingly demonstrates that public opinion in Great Britain was divided on the need for large expenditures on armaments during the 20 years prior to the summer of 1914 and that the Liberal Party, which dominated British politics after 1905, was committed to domestic reforms. He points to the many sources of Germanophilia in Britain, but concedes there was general agreement across party lines on the importance of ensuring the supremacy on the high seas of the Royal Navy.
Although he acknowledges the powers of the Kaiser and the armed forces in Germany were greater than in Britain and France, he argues that "only a minority of Germans were militarists, and a minority of them were Anglophobes" (25). His overall conclusion was that "militarism . . . was far from being the dominant force in European politics on the eve of the Great War. On the contrary: it was in political decline, and not least as a direct consequence of democratization" (28)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When America entered the war in 1917, aircraft production went into high gear, and new materials, engines, and aircraft designs were all created seemingly overnight. By the end of the war, planes were outfitted with machine guns which were synchronized with the propellers, the first bomb sights were developed, radios were installed, more was understood about high-altitude flying ? including how to outfit pilots for the cold encountered at high altitudes, and balloons were used for reconnaissance and photography missions. During the eighteen months America was in the war, aviation technology advanced tremendously, and it became clear that wars were no longer simply ground-based affairs, the skies above held infinite possibilities (Oliver 528-531). This would prove increasingly true during the fighting in World War II."

From the Paper
"In assessing the importance of the Guadalcanal campaign in the war in the Pacific I have attempted to place it in the context of that theatre relative to other important aspects. So rather than attempt to evaluate the Guadalcanal campaign as significant by itself I have examined its causal links with other events. It is common for works on World War II focusing on a particular battle or single campaign, to declare the focus of the work as a ?decisive battle? or ?turning point?. Yet when one examines these battles or campaigns as part of an overall story it becomes clear that they are pieces of a jigsaw. In actuality a chain of events that may have headed in a completely different direction given a slight change in the outcome of any other event within that context. Guadalcanal is such a campaign. "

Abstract
The paper examines the string of historical events which resulted in the ending of World War One and the start of World War Two. It concentrates on the Treaty of Versailles as a major cause of WWII and shows how it set the stage for WWII due to the harsh reparations that angered the Germans, and eventually gave rise to Hitler?s regime.
From the Paper
"It is commonly said that WWI began due to the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand. Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, in Sarajevo (the Bosnian capital), which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Those who wanted to reunite with Serbia assassinated Ferdinand. Urged on by Germany, Austria subsequently invaded Serbia. Serbia enlisted the help of Russia in their fight against Austria. Germany declared war on Russia and France, and
Russia and France responded. Britain declared war on Germany for the German violation of Belgium (BBC News). The whole world was soon involved in the war to end all wars, after the assassination of only one man."

From the Paper
" With the end of World War I, international efforts were begun to restore the workings of the international economy and the gold standard. But the restoration of the gold standard also meant the re-establishment of the old political order. Britain, however, lacked the economic power to fulfill the role she had played in the prewar system and the United States, her major economic rival after the defeat of Germany, was not prepared to fill the vacuum. This analysis will maintain that Britain's economic weakness and the inability of the United States to use its economic power to bolster the international economy were key sources of the structural weakness of the interwar gold standard. This general factor, combined with the financial complications of (...)"

Abstract
In this paper the author takes a different perspective of the Second World War, citing it as not a single armed clash. He looks at the Second World War as a collection of three different conflicts, the Japanese-League war in Southeast Asia and China, the German war in Eastern Europe, and the German-League war in western and central Europe that happened to overlap in time and causes. The author discusses in the paper that despite the different causes, theatres, and strategies of the three conflicts, their simultaneity and their direct challenge to the custom of the global community leads historians and other spectators to classify them as a single worldwide war. He looks at all of the effects of the Second World War on the different participants in terms of political, economic and social issues. In conclusion, the author addresses how in destroying the old world order, the Second World War demanded the formation of a new world order, one shaped by the triumphant, defeated, and neutral powers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many pieces of reorganization legislation were rolled back in wartime. A longer working day was reestablished to boost industrial productivity. The federal government made anti-trust legislation a very low precedence. In order to struggle the labor shortage, child labor laws and women's labor regulations were overlooked. With very little public protest, the number of high school dropouts increased notably. During the war, the teenage workforce grew from 1 million to 3 million; about 1 million of these novel workers had dropped out of high school. Traditional politicians had fought against these agencies when they were established, but now that FDR was focusing on winning a war as a substitute of reforming society, they could slash funding for the CCC, WPA, and National Youth Administration (NYA). These programs had always been intended to help those who would be hired last even in favorable economic conditions, so their cease was especially ####### blacks, women, and the elderly."

Abstract
This paper examines how the causes of World War I and World War II were not one cataclysmic event but were a multitude of causes that basically derived from Nationalism and Imperialism. It shows how these two factors led to the turmoil in Europe and growing tensions and how the outbreak of World War II is an indirect link to the ending of World War I, which led to many years of chaos in Europe. It analyzes how the resulting economic depressions were a cascade of many more economic issues that Europe and America still face today and how the most radical affect was the Cold War, a war that plagued fear upon the American population for forty five years.
From the Paper
"The first cause of World War II was the intense anger over the Versailles Treaty. This Treaty was signed on June 28, 1919 and basically held Germany responsible for creating this world war. The Versailles Treaty ordered that Germany pay for all the damages that the Allies and their governments endured as a result of this war. Germany was then ordered to cut their army down to 100,000 soldiers, as well as their navy, and do away with their air-force. Germany was also angry that their territory had to be reduced as well. The territory of Alsace and Lorraine was ceded by France and certain sections of Prussia went to present day Poland. Germany felt that this treaty was ?dictated peace? and they proceeded to refuse this treaty. In doing so, the future affects would be another war. "

Abstract
This paper studies the conditions in Europe after World War I, which ultimately led to Second World War. The paper focuses on England and Germany as countries representative of the Allied and Axis powers. The paper begins by examining the Weimar Republic of Germany, which had inherent weaknesses that, when combined with economic strife and early political challenges, created a high level of instability. The paper shows how the Nazi Party exploited the Republic's weaknesses. The paper examines in detail Hitler's rise to power, and the culminating impact of world events. Next, the paper turns to Britain, which like Germany was showing signs of great economic stress after World War I. The paper discusses high unemployment coupled with a shrinking export market, which contributed to the downward spiral. The paper also studies the psyche of the British public, which believed that that World War I was the last war -- a belief that was reflected in the government's decision to cut military spending. The paper concludes with an assessment of the U.S.'s Land-Lease program and its positive impact on the economic and military recovery of England.
From the Paper
"The conditions in countries where many of the Allied forces resided were similar to those of the Axis forces. One country for each of the allied and axis forces whose history following World War II are similar to the other members of each group will be examined. The British are a good representation of the Allied forces and Germany for the Axis, especially in the European theater. What occurred in each of these countries following World War I laid the foundation for what were to follow in World War II. Each holds some very interesting events, which set into motion what would occur in the future. Mussolini first coined the term "Axis" in a speech he gave in Milan, Italy on November 1, 1936. In this speech, he referred to the Rome/Berlin alliance as an Axis in which all European countries would revolve around. This alliance, however, was a result of forced isolation from the rest of Europe, rather than a sincere Italo-German partnership of mutual respect."

Abstract
This paper examines Germany's involvement in World War I and why she was held responsible for the damages that occurred in Europe, through the eyes of three historians. The paper explains that Germany had rejected the attempts of mediation made by Britain and that it was the miscalculations of German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg that caused all of Europe's superpowers to engage in a World War. The paper looks at how the three historians; Fritz Fischer, Gerhard Ritter and H. Jarausch discuss whom should be held accountable for the World War. In conclusion the paper shows that it is Fischer's persuasive arguments and ample evidence that clearly identifies Germany's faults in the causation of World War I.
From the Paper
"According to Fischer, Publicist Victor Naumann, who was an adviser of the German Foreign Ministry, engaged in a discussion with the permanent head of the Austro-Hungarian foreign ministry, Count Hoyos, about German aggression for the war in Berlin. He stated that the triple alliance of Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany was powerful and that Britain would remain neutral because of the Anglo-German settlement in Africa, therefore stating that an attack against Serbia would be best if executed immediately. Ritter criticizes Fischer for bringing forward Victor Naumann as a witness to the Berlin Agreement as he was only a journalist and not a diplomat and therefore questions Fischer's credibility. However, Fischers claims are proven true when Count Hoyos met with the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, Szogyeny in Berlin on July 5th, 1914 and presented him with two documents: a memorandum that stated the situation of the monarchy and a proposal that insisted the only way to save the monarchy from being swallowed in the "Pan-Slav flood" was to "eliminate Serbia"."
