Negotiations were made in order to prevent conflict. These failed because conflicts eventually broke out leading to WW2. Diplomacy failed because it wasn’t back with threats to the dictator’s power and they could stop their ambitions.

The Wall Street Crash (1929) was the initial cause of the Great Depression due to it’s ripple effect in the global economy. Previously, America had loaned a great amount of money to the Weimar Republic, which faulted America in their own nation’s economy. This lack of money then affected Germany, since they were also partaking in loans from America. Since Germany couldn’t make their reparations, it affected France and Britain also. This caused a huge increase in unemployment and resulted in many people relying on the government. The government couldn’t do anything to fix it though. This was a cause to world war 2 because there was barely any wealth and so people started to fight for the little that was left.

Event: Hitler’s Troops Invade the Rhineland in Direct Defiance to the Treaty of Versailles

# data[].attributes.body
On March 7th, 1936, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, led his forces to invade the Rhineland in order to remilitarize it in order to directly oppose the terms on the Treaty of Versailles. Germany had been forced to accept the terms of demilitarizing the Rhineland initially after the end of World War I, but held a lot of resentment towards the mistreatment they endured from the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles. Both France and Britain did not have a military response prepared, so they did not act against Germany’s invasion. This escalated the tension between the various countries, and furthered along the beginnings of World War II.
