Who was responsible for the outbreak of WW2?

• Hitler:

  > He wanted to destroy the ToV and get lebensraum for the German people. The League of Nations couldn’t stop him after it failed in the Abyssinian crisis in 1936.This meant that Hitler wasn’t afraid to act aggressively because he saw that the League was not able to deal

  with invasions.
• Stalin:

  > The pact was between Germany and USSR, and it said that they would not attack each other if there was war. Poland would be split half and half between them. The invasion was inevitable because Germany knew that they could invade Poland without having to fight Russia.
• Stalin:

  > Britain and France promised Poland that they’d defend them, so when Germany invaded in September 1939 Britain, France and Germany all declared war on each other that would last for six years.
• Chamberlain:

  > Neville Chamberlain and France had given Hitler chances before Germany invaded Poland and didn’t stand up to him, which made him more aggressive. For example, the remilitarisation of the Rhineland was not opposed, which lead to Hitler invading other lands.

  When Germany took over the Sudetenland, Britain and France had agreed to let him keep the land at the Munich conference, and Hitler betrayed that agreement when he took over the rest of Czechoslovakia.
