World War II

World War 2 was mainly started after the Japanese started trying to take over country after country wuntil they bombed Pearl Harbor and that's how it all began.

At the end of World War I Germany had to pay for many of the countries' damages including France and England. Germany had one problem they didn't have enough money and they couldn't borrow any from any of their local businesses because most were destroyed.

Then there was a man that was part of a Nazi Party. His name was Adolf Hitler. By 1932 the Nazi Party was one of the strongest parts of Germany. Finally Adolf Hitler was head of the government which might have been a problem because he wanted a lot more power than he already had.

At the end of World War I most countries united and tried to prevent another war from happening. After a while they formed a League of Nations. There was a representative for each country that agreed and disagreed on their ideas. However three people weren't about to compromise. They were Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo.

Like I said every one of these facts are true and one of my favorites is World War I was called the war to end all wars.
