Heinrich Himmler, Question 1	With your government telling you not to invade, that should have been enough for you to listen.  We, Germany as a whole, along with Soviet Russia and France, all disagree with the fact that you have invaded and occupied Manchuria, and the Liaotung Province.  We are not seeking another war.  The Great War has destroyed Europe as a whole and we wish to remain in peace for the time being.  We are requesting that you leave the Liaotung Province in China, because we foresee great troubles coming out of the occupation of this area.  Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler

I was a leader of the Nazi Party and had a prominent role in organizing the Nazi police state in Germany, while also establishing concentration camps for the "corrective treatment" of Jews. When I met Hitler, I joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Hitler and I were very good friends. Later, Hitler appointed me as Commander of the German Air Force. This day was a great for all Germans. Hitler allowed me to create the Gestapo, a secret political police, and to establish concentration camps in which to imprison the Nazis' political opponents. We both had the same objectives.

The world war seems to be spreading like wildfire only on a global scale. The trail of war has been drawn like a pencil line going all the way across the world's map. The holders of the pencil are the dictating leaders motivated by greed and desire for power. Now that Japan has involved regions of the pacific, I predict that the next big hit will be on the United States. The U.S.'s great power must put great pressure on the instigating leaders of WWII and will be seen as a threat. Now I feel as if the world is just waiting on the United State's involvement.

Hitler is gaining power, and together, He and I will use fascism to destroy anyone who is not fit for the world we will empower. With him as German chancellor and myself as the Dictator of Italy, we will be unstoppable. WWII is well in my favor.

Thank you Paul von Hindenburg For appointing me Chansoller i promise i won't let you down. I will lead this country to victory.  You may call me the fÜhrer now! I have a few changes now that i'm in control, I will do away with politics and make Germany a powerful, unified one-party state. I'm ordering a rapid expansion of the state police and putting Hermann Goering in charge of a new security force, composed entirely of Nazis and dedicated to stamping out whatever opposition to his party might arise. #NoOneCanStopMe!!!

I believe that this is a conflict between Italy and Ethiopia, and it would be unwise for the Soviet Union to support one side over the other. For this reason, I am indifferent about this problem facing the nations.

We cannot tell whether Hitler will be the man who will once again let loose upon the world another war... or whether he will go down in history as the man who restored honor and peace of mind to the great Germanic nation.

War is to man as maternity is to woman. Ethiopia was a great accomplishment, even for reasons other than war. This conquering will help address overpopulation in Italy. Italy now owns half of the independent countries in Africa. We will not stop here though. Italy will dominate! Bring it on, you British and French cowards. Italy will obliterate all who oppose!

AHh, yes the Italians learned from the best, they took my plan of expanding their territory and attacking Ethiopia good job boyz, and a shout out to Benito Mussolini the leader of Italy and the man that Acquired his new land congratz!!!  #Pozers

Prior to fascist Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia, I have found myself deeply involved in my desire to strengthen the League of Nations around the concept of collective security. The new threat of Benito Mussolini being driven into the arms of Hitler has engulfed my attention. I plan to prioritize the new threat of Italy and the approach to containing their aggression.

My fearful predictions are only proving themselves to be true as the length of the war gets longer. At this moment, Germany is in a bad state and is not to be giving out such great power to an unknown individual. This "Adolf Hitler" rose to power significantly quickly...If he rose to be the leader of a country in such a short time I fear for how he will wield his power over Germany in just a year.

In 1935, the Fascist Leader of Italy adopted my leader's, (Hitler's) plans and ideas to conquer all land and territories that he considered German. Historians were forced to accept the Anschluss between Austria and Nazi Germany, and to begin a political favor towards Germany, which subsequently destroyed historians and Fascist Italy in World War II.

This incident has only incited more fear for our world. I am afraid that this totalitarian movement will eventually spread further, and at worst scenario, to the Netherlands. Mussolini intends to stop only when he achieves total domination. We need to become more aware of powerful world leaders such as him for their intents are always unpure. My condolences are sent out to those who have been affected by this act in Africa.

I am enraged to hear that Japan has invaded Manchuria.The Japanese army has breached the League of Nations as they failed to produce a declaration of war before this invasion. The Soviet Union and Japan have kept peaceful relations for almost six years, but this abuse on the Chinese people is inexcusable. I had heard of plans from the Soviet Army to invade Manchuria and reclaim it from the army hot-heads once Nazi Germany has been defeated. Although this may end our good relations with the Japanese, I think it is the best option if they refuse to relinquish power from this area. As a soldier, I can see this conflict being resolved through war.

Today I heard mom say that a place called Manchuria was invaded by our friends the Japanese. I don’t know where either of these places are but good for them from being like the fox and getting the rabbit like they tell me in school.

Japan’s invasion of Manchuria is daunting and will not be tolerated. I oppose the League of Nation”s choice to abandon aid to Japan. I hope we, the people of England, will try to understand the position of Japan. On one side they have the dark menace of Soviet Russia. On the other, the chaos of China, four or five provinces of which are being tortured under communist rule. They are in a tough position, we need to understand that they have very few choices.

I just heard about the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, and I am extremely concerned. Hope that it doesn’t interrupt my mathematical studies, I only just started at Kings College… I have a bad feeling that this is going to grow into something bigger.

When Japan invaded Manchuria, I was 10 years old. My family and I were still living in France at this time. Felt very scared because I was so young and wasn’t sure what was going on. I could tell that it was something bad was happening because my parents were very upset, and there were broadcasts all over the news talking about war. I remember my mom saying that Japan had invaded some place called Manchuria. At the time I had no idea where that was, and I was very confused as to how a country could invade another country.

“Where is Manchuria, mom?” I remember asking. She told me ‘it was nothing to worry about’ and that I should go back to playing with my siblings. In reality, it was the beginning to something that would affect my entire life. I had no idea that this event would start the war that I would be a part of.

To make things clear, we, the Soviet Union, aren't going to be renewing the Japanese Neutrality Pact. Someone of my own mind can only comprehend working things out through war.

The second world war is starting up. Even though we allied with Britain in the last world war against Germany, it will be more beneficial towards Italy to join Germany. I am going to form the Italian Empire, and we will conquer.

It’s hard to believe that Japan has taken such brash measures all for the sake of resources. Today marks the day when we must realize the League of Nations can no longer successfully maintain peace. The fact that our world’s strongest nations put together could not stop this act of aggression is very unsettling to say the least. I am now worried of what is to come in the near future.

Nazi general Franz Halder testified at the Nuremberg trials that I admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building in 1933, and then I falsely blamed the communists for the arson. In 1933, I was elected into office as Minister President of the Free State of Prussia.

Japan’s occupation of the Chinese territory of Manchuria is unlawful and unsupported by yours truly. If I ever become President, the United States will not recognize Manchuria as Japanese land.

Japan controlled the Manchurian railway and Japan believed that a few Manchurian soldiers had sabotaged the railway. Because in the Army we have concrete evidence about stuff before we act, I think that Japan acted fear that they thought Manchurian soldiers had/would sabotage the railway and decided to act then and there without a real plan which lead to a big invasion based off of a belief that Japan people though they saw the soldiers.

Hideki Tojo- Japan invades Manchuria (Emilie Bernier)

# data[].attributes.body
Many say that we -the Japanese- breached the rules of The League of Nations by invading Manchuria without any declaration of war. In defense, it is essential to note that at the time Japan was scarce of natural resources such as coal, oil, bauxite, and iron and turning to China to make up for the lack of resources was our only option. Along with this justification, I would like to add that being as Japan was barely affected by the second World War, we had become increasingly crowded and rapidly increasing as a population due to our limited size as a nation- invading China was the only solution to gaining 200,000 square kilometers of land. Going further off this, our economy was dramatically affected by the Great Depression. Japan as a highly developed industry, obviously had its problems and setbacks that needed resolution. Being as I am general of the Imperial Japanese army, I will allow what needs to be done in order to survive. Anyone else, in our place, would have done what we resorted to, and Japan does not regret our actions.
