Start of the Second World War: the main causes

most ambitious, bloody and terrible war in human history, dubbed the WWII began not September 1, 1939, the day when Nazi Germany invaded Poland.Start of the Second World War was inevitable since the end of the war in 1918, which led to the redistribution of virtually the whole of Europe.Immediately after the signing of the Treaty, each perekroennyh countries which took away part of the territory, began his little war.As long as it was conducted in the minds and conversations of those who never returned from the front of the winners.They have time and again experienced the events of those days, looking for the causes of the defeat and pass the bitterness of losing his own younger children.

It is this cherished for decades the hatred of enemies, resentment against harassment new owners of towns and villages, the need to get used to another unusual life and made possible the start of the Second World War.But all these occasions to renew the war were in the field of psychology.There is also real historical background that led to the outbreak of hostilities, which has been involved in virtually the entire globe.

official reasons for the outbreak of World War

According to historical research, scholars have identified the following reasons:

  • territorial disputes , resulting redistribution Europe Britain, France and the allied states.After the collapse of the Russian Empire following the withdrawal of its military actions, and it occurred in the revolution, but also because of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, appeared on the world map just 9 new states.Their boundaries have not yet been clearly defined, and in many cases the disputes were literally every inch of ground.In addition, the country lost part of their territories, sought to bring them back, well, the winners, will join their new land, hardly were willing to part with them.The centuries-old history of Europe did not know any better way to solutions, including territorial disputes, in addition to fighting, and the beginning of the Second World War was inevitable;
  • to olonialnye disputes. worth mentioning here is not only that the losers of the country, having lost its colonies, which provided the treasury constant inflow of funds, of course, dreaming of their return, but that the colonies grew in the liberation movement.Tired of being under the yoke of various colonizers, residents tried to get rid of any submission, and in many cases it is also inevitably led to armed clashes;
  • rivalries leading powers. It is hard to erase from the world history of Germany after its defeat is not wanted to take revenge.Deprived of the opportunity to have their army (except for volunteering, which could number more than 100 thousand soldiers with light weapons), Germany, accustomed to the role of one of the world empires, could not accept the loss of its dominance.Start of World War II in this respect was only a matter of time;
  • dictatorships. sharp increase in their numbers in the second third of the XX century created additional preconditions for the outbreak of violent conflicts.Paying great attention to the development of the army and weapons, first as a means to suppress possible internal unrest, and then as a way of conquering new lands and eastern European dictators in every way advanced the start of the Second World War;
  • existence of the USSR. role of the new socialist state that arose on the ruins of the Russian Empire as a stimulus for the US and Europe can not be overestimated.The rapid development of the communist movement in a number of capitalist countries against the background of the existence of such a clear example of victorious socialism could not fail to inspire fear and an attempt to erase the USSR from the face of the earth would be made inevitable.
