He started off as a peasant and soon grew into a military super power.  After Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) died, Stalin outmaneuvered his rivals for control of the party. He then ruled his people by terror, and created labor camps. This is where he had all his enemies sent, and most likely killed.  Stalin aligned with the United States and Britain in WW2, however, afterwards his relationships with those countries grew extremely close.

~ At this conference there was a settlement permitting Germany to invade and capture a portion of Czechoslovakia. This portion was called the Sudetenland, which was a largely German speaking land.
The catch was that Czechoslovakia was not even invited to the conference to decide what was going to happen to their country.
- The deal was reached on September 29th, but was later signed a few hours later on the 30th.

Appeasement - the policy of giving in to the demands of a hostile or aggressive power in an attempt to keep the peace
~This could be am explanation as to why no one tried to stop Hitler from inavding. They thought that if they just gave him the "one" thing he wanted, that he would cease his current habits. They all sought to avoid war at all cost, because they were all suffering from the repercussions.

After WWI, the United States attempted to keep to a state of isolation and to retain from wars, while other countries remained fighting and invading in hopes to gain more land and power.
Several events triggered WW2:

Expansionism -the policy of territorial or economic expansion

Militarism -the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests.

Racism -prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Interrelations & Economics- The world was hit with an economic depression

Treaty of Versailles- Germany was unhappy and saw the treaty as unfair and unjust

French Demands (security and alliance wise)

Competition for resources

Failure of the League of Nations

of Nations causing problems

Nazi Party/Hitler’s Dictatorship- with Hitler’s demands and troops taking countries, land, starting crowds, and mass executions, many saw him as an enemy and target while some were scared. This caused people to view Germany differently and tensions were built

Capture of Rhineland

Mussolini and his troops taking over Ethiopia

Spanish-Civil War

Anschluss- (annexation of Albania to the Nazi party: started tensions and riots)

Munich Conference

Mussolini’s Invasion of Albania

Soviet-Japanese War

Soviet Union Invasion

Attack on Pearl Harbor- Sent the U.S into was with Japan, and due to the trip-pact, the U.S went to war with many more countries.

There were no major events that specifically triggered America into entering war until the attack of Pearl Harbor. Expansion of German power with their invasions and mass collection of followers worried the surrounding countries causing them to either declare war, form alliances (which also formed enemies), and form protective measures. When Poland was invaded by the German troops under Hitler’s command in September 1939, as well as Japanese expansion in the invasion of Vietnam territory in September 1940, most took precautions.

Mussolini: When WWII started Italy did not want any part of war, but when they were forced to fight in War it didn't go to good for them. When Hitler came and started invading Greece Mussolini became frightened and had to think quick. In order to have a strong army, to defend his borders against foreign powers, he called for German help (siding with Hitler and his men).

Hitler: Hitler was able to rise to power quickly due to his charismatic personality, and his goal which was to: "Make Germany powerful again".
At first he forced Austrian rulers into submission. Hitler also demanded the Sudetenland at the Munich Conference. Right when WWII started Poland was captured by Germany. Later on in War Hitler started to barge in to other small places in Europe. Throughout the war he conquered Poland, France, Denmark, Norway and Beligium.

Stalin: Stalin was known as the bloodiest tyrants out of all of them. He ordered a destruction of all resistance, causing the death of millions of people. During WWII Stalin called out to allied nations. He did this, because he knew without their help he would get destroyed by Hitler and his men due to the violation of their non-agression pact.

Tojo: Tojo was a racist dictator during World War 2. Tojo forced Japan to go with Germany and Italy. Tojo was an alliance with Japan for the United States.
