Hitler's belief in the superiority of the Aryan race was a reason for the outbreak of war in Europe. After World War 1, due to him being extremely patriotic, he was incensed when German leaders signed the Treaty of Versailles. With this perceived feeling of betrayal, Hitler started buying into conspiracies that accused groups such as the Jews and Communists of backstabbing Germany, which fueled his hatred for them. This also fed to his line of thought that Germans, and therefore Aryans, were superior, which led top him wanting to change the nation. Therefore, due to his beliefs, he came up with the idea of Living Space, where the Aryans could safely expand. This resulted Germany's aggressive foreign policy, constantly demanding more territory, such as that of Austria and the Sudetenland. It finally culminated in the invasion of Poland, which sparked off the war in Europe.

Hitler's firm belief in a strict racial hierarchy was also a factor that raised tensions, and eventually became a reason for the outbreak of war in Europe. He believed that certain races, such as the Slavs, were subhuman, with their land better used by Aryans. Being the leader of Germany, his ideas filtered down into the government. This influenced them to invade Poland, even though it was protected by a guarantee of independence by Britain. This sparked World War 2, as Britain had to honor it's agreement, with even France joining the war.

In conclusion, Hitler's misguided and often violent beliefs was what lead to the outbreak of war in Europe. Therefore, I can conclude that Hitler's belief in Aryan superiority caused him to take actions that eventually led to World War 2, and thus was the main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler's conscription and rearmament is a reason why WW2 broke out.  After the Treaty of Versailles, the German pride was wounded and Hitler wanted to restore Germany glory. He believed in Greater Germany and taking back German speaking places such as Austria Rhineland and Sudetenland. He implemented conscription and rearmed Germany in blatant disregard for the Treaty of Versailles. He had 300,000 armed men in the army as well as 2500 planes which was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles by 1935.With an army, he could invade other countries and this caused the start of WW2.

Hitler's invasion of the Poland was an military factor that caused the outbreak of war.  He had received multiple warnings from both Britain and France as well as the League of Nations to stop his invasion of other countries for Greater Germany. However Hitler's expansionism foreign policy continued. In the invasion of Poland Britain and France both declared war on Germany. This is due to Hitler's policies. Thus Hitler is the main reason for European war.

In conclusion, Hitler's military policies stated WW2.  The rearmament of Germany gave them the confidence to begin invade other countries which eventually led to WW2. The invasion of Poland is a trigger by Hitler that caused WW2 . Thus through Hitler's expansionist policy for Greater Germany directly caused the outbreak of war in Europe.

Corrections: However WW2 was also started in part by the appeasement of Britain and France. appeasement is to give in to aggressive powers in order to avoid conflict. Much of Europe was still recovering economically and militarily from the first world war. Britain and France did not want to start another war. Hitler exploited this and went on to invade other sovereign lands. Due to the idea of appeasement, instead of protecting other nations they ignored it other than some warnings. For example, in the Rhineland, when Hitler militarized it, France and Britain showed little interest in the Rhineland. This is further supported by the fact that Neville Chambers was seen as a hero for signing the Munich agreement, further cementing the idea of appeasement. Ultimately this caused Hitler to invade many territories before the outbreak of WW2. Thus, the outbreak of WW2 is in part caused by the policy of appeasement.

Hitler's aggressive foreign policy was the main reason of the outbreak of war in Europe. Hitler wanted to unite all the ethnic Germans in Europe in order to achieve a greater Germany and prominence on the global stage.

In order to achieve this goal, Hitler invaded various nearby countries to  form Greater Germany. These included Austria, Czechoslovakia  Sudetenland and even the Rhineland, violating the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Despite Britain and France appeasing Hitler by allowing giving the Rhineland and Sudetenland, Hitler did not stop his expansionist goals and continued to invade the rest of Europe. This caused France and Britain to fear for their own safety and decided to declare war on Germany. Thus Hitler's aggressive expansion across Europe caused the outbreak of war.

In addition, Hitler's determination to have all of Europe under the Swastika was also a factor for the outbreak of war in Europe. Chamberlain assured the Poles that Britain would come to its aid if Germany decided to invade. Hitler, from this previous experience with the Rhineland and Sudetenland did not believe Britain's assurances and was sure that they would give in to him.Therefore proceeded to invade Poland. Subsequently, Britain declared war on Germany. Hence, Hitler's invasion of Poland was a contributing factor of war erupting in Europe.

However, Hitler was not the main reason for war in Europe. It was the weakness of the League of Nations also resulted in the outbreak of war in Europe. The League of Nations was in disarray, with pivotal nations such as the USA, USSR, and Germany not being members. Actions required the consent of all the member states, however, they did not cooperate and were often acted in self-interest. For example, when Italy invaded Abyssinia, the League of Nations placed economic sanctions on it. However, Britain and France did not want to destroy their lucrative trade with Italy. In the Hoare-Laval pact, they agreed to secretly give Abyssinia to Italy. This undermined the legitimacy of the League of Nations and demonstrated that aggressive could get away with their actions. This was an important reason of the outbreak of war in Europe.

In conclusion,  Hitler was the main antagonist in the European theater of war that was WW2 . Even if the League of Nations were able to place sanctions on Germany, Hitler would not deterred from having such a aggressive foreign policy, as he had already poised Germany for war since he came to power, and was not going to be stopped from achieving Germanic greatness. Hence Hitler's foreign policy was the main reason for the outbreak of war in WW2.

Hitler violated the treaty of Versailles since he introduced conscription and started preparing for war in Germany. He then invaded many places that was not owned by Germany, like Rhineland and Saar. the Lon ignored it, however they warned Hitler if he were to invade Poland, British and France will declare war in Germany. Hitler ignored the threat and invaded Poland thus starting a war

Hitler was not the main reason war broke out in Europe. The LON was weak as most of the powerful countries at that time like USA and Soviet Union was not part of it. This lead to Britain and France taking most of the power of LON. However, Britain and France decided to use the appeasement method to confront aggressive countries instead of attacking. This led to Hitler being able to take advantage of Britain and France appeasement policy and invade Rhineland, Saar and other countries. The LON could not do anything as Britain and France decided to use appeasement method against Hitler. This cause Hitler to be confident and invade Poland this starting war.

Hitler's aggressive military actions were a reason for the outbreak of world war 2. Due to the treaty of Versailles, Germany was hobbled by multiple sanctions preventing them from developing a strong military as well as being forced to give up large areas of land such as Alsace-Lorraine and East Prussia to other countries such as the League of nations and the soviet union. Therefore, in order to improve german pride and military power, Hitler decided to build up germany's military as well as by invading territory such as the Rhineland and Austria, leading to tensions between Germany and the other european powers to rise, leading to the outbreak of war in europe.

Hitler's ignorance to the potential outcomes of his military actions were also a factor that lead to the outbreak of world wat 2 in europe. Due to his aggressive military actions actions such as the invasion of Rhineland, hitler was given multiple warnings from France, Britan and the League of Nations to cease his aggressive actions, however, Hitler did not heed their warnings and decided to invade Poland, leading to Britan and France declaring war to Germany, showing the outbreak of war in europe was due to Hitler's lack of foresight.

In conclusion, Hitler's military actions and lack of anticipation of a aggressive response to his expansionist behavior lead to the outbreak of war in europe. Therefore, I can conclude that Hitler's expansionist policies and large ego caused world war 2 to break out, showing that Hitler was the main cause of the outbreak of war in world war 2.

Hitler's aggressive foreign policy was a significant reason of the outbreak of WW2. Hitler adopted expansionist policies that severely contradicted the Treaty of Versailles, which was despised by Hitler. For example, his idea of a 'Greater Germany' comprised of all German-speaking peoples drove him to annex the Saar, Austria and the Rhineland. This greatly worried the Allies and war broke out when Hitler pushed his luck too far and invaded Poland. Clearly, if Hitler had not implemented such aggressive foreign policy, war would not have broken out. Hence, Hitler's aggressive expansionist policies were a main contributor to the outbreak of WW2.

Despite this, another main reason for the outbreak of WW2 was the failure of the League of Nations to control aggressive countries. The League of Nations had no army and was unable to effectively enforce their decisions. They could only impose economic sanctions, which was ineffective as non-compliers could simply trade with non-members such as the USA. An example of this is seen in the Abyssinia Crisis. When Italy invaded Abyssinia, Abyssinia went to the LON for help, but they could not do anything. In fact, Britain and France signed the Hoare-Laval Pact in secret, giving up Abyssinia to Italy in exchange for their help against Hitler. This set a precedent that the LON was weak and could not stop aggressive powers, which undoubtedly made Hitler more confident. Hence, a main reason for WW2's outbreak was not Hitler per se, but instead the LON's failure to control aggressive powers like Hitler.

In addition, another reason for the outbreak of WW2 in Europe was Britain and France's insistence on the policy of appeasement. Britain and France did not intervene when Hitler annexed the Saar and militarised the Rhineland, nor when he invaded the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia. In the case of the Sudetenland, when Hitler invaded it,  Churchill went to Munich and signed an agreement to give the Sudetenland to Germany, provided Hitler did not invade the rest of Czechoslovakia. Inevitably, Hitler did exactly that, but Britain still did nothing to stop him. If Britain and France had stepped in and stopped Hitler early on, Hitler would not have been as confident as he was and it would have been very unlikely that war would have broken out. Hence, one of the main reasons for the outbreak of war in Europe was Britain and France's policy of appeasement and refusal to intervene in Hitler's expanionism.

Conclusively, while Hitler certainly was a factor in the outbreak of WW2 in Europe, he is not the most significant factor. Regardless of Hitler's aggression, if Britain and France had stopped him early on, and if the LON had the capabilities to get Hitler under control, it is extremely unlikely that Hitler would have had the confidence to continue his aggressive foreign policy, and thus extremely unlikely that war would have broken out at all. Hence, Hitler was not the main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler's aggressive methods to reach his ambition of a greater Germany is one of the main reasons war broke out in Europe. He wanted German-majority countries to be reunited with Germany like how it previously was before the end of World War 1. To achieve this, Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles and invaded Rhineland. In addition, he also invaded Austria, Czechoslovakia  and the German-majority of Sudetenland. Although Britain and France practised the appeasement policy, they probably found it unreasonable for Hitler to gain so many territories. Resultantly, they mostly likely started being suspicious of Hitler's plans and resented him.Thus, Hitler's confrontational way to work towards his goal is one of the reasons that started the war in Europe.

Hitler's vision to achieve Lebensraum (living space) by force is another reason why war in Europe began. After he had captured countries consisting of mostly Germans such as Sudetenland, He needed more land to sustain a newly formed and much larger German community. So Hitler conquered the rest of Czechoslovakia even though Britain and France agreed to give Sudetenland to Hitler. This made some of the British people realise that war was the only option to stop Hitler's invasive force. Thus they distrusted in Hitler. Hence, Hitler's goal to attain Lebensraum is the second reason to why Europe had an outbreak of war.

Hitler's occupation of Poland is the last principal reason for the outbreak of war in Europe. Chamberlain assured the Poles, promising them with British support if Germany attacked Poland. Hitler did not believe him and thought he was going to give Poland to him too due to their practice of appeasement. Therefore he carried on with his plan and was surprised when Britain declared war on Germany. Hence, Hitler's invasion of Poland was the third cause war erupted in Europe

In a nutshell, although Britain, France and other countries were not initially concerned about Hitler starting another war, Hitler's drive to conquer Europe through military force such as invading to achieve his goal sparked the tension amongst European countries. Consequently, war was inevitable. Therefore, Hitler truly was the main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler’s aggressive foreign policy was a reason for the start of WWII. Hitler believed in Lebensraum, which means ‘Living space’ in German. Hitler believed that for Germany to be self-sufficient, Germany would need to expand, specifically to the Slovak nations in Eastern Europe like Russia. This would cause Germany to have a strenuous relationship with the Soviet Union. Additionally, this caused the Britain and France to be more wary of Hitler since the Allies were intent on keeping the balance of power in Europe and Germany’s aggressive moves were not keeping the status-quo. Hence, Hitler’s belief in Lebensraum only strained relations between Germany and its neighbours, which would cause heightened tension leading up to WWII.

Hitler’s military actions was another reason for the outbreak of the war. The Treaty of Versailles had limited the German military to 100, 000 men, no conscription, air force or submarines. Once Hitler came into power, he quickly started mass producing submarines, tanks and planes and increased the number of men in the army through conscription. Hitler had 300, 000 troops in 1936 and decided to remilitarise the Rhineland, even though it was forbidden in the Treaty of Versailles. In 1938, Hitler used his army to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia, which broke the terms of the Munich Conference and told Britain and France that Germany could not be trusted.  Thus, Hitler breaking the Treaty of Versailles to rearm Germany increased tensions with Britain and France, causing Britain and France to enter the war.

The  failure of the League of Nations was a main reason for the outbreak of war. The League had little power since it did not have an army and could only use economic sanctions and moral persuasions in order to punish nations. Additionally, many nations were making their own agreements outside the League, sometimes even overriding the decision made by the League. This allowed aggressive nations like Germany and Italy and expand by only negotiating with France and Britain who had their own interests instead of going to the League who made decisions in the interests of the international community. Thus, the weakness and failure of theLeague of Nations who a reason for the onset of WWII

Therefore, the invasion of Poland, caused by Hitler, was the catalyst that started the war.
In conclusion, Hitler's aggressive policy of Lebensraum and remilitarisation increased tension between the powers of Europe. The invasion of Poland caused the spark that would start the war. If Germany had not gone to war with Poland, the war likely would not have started as Britain and France would be unlikely to engage in an offensive war and Italy lacked the industry to go to war with the Allies. Hence, Hitler was the main reason for the outbreak of was.

Hitler's foreign policies of a Greater Germany and Lebensraum were some of the main reasons Hitler started world war 2. Hitler and the Germans pride were hurt after losing world war 1, because in the minds of the German people they were winning because most of the war  was fought outside of germany which the germans believe that they were winniing. However when the German politicians signed the Treaty of Versailles which was unfair for the Germans, they were bitter about the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, because the Germans lost their territory to other countries like saar, dane, memel, rhineland the germans living in the territories that were given to other countries were bitter and angry at the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, because they wanted an Ansch Luss with Austria instead,however the Germans were not allowed to have Ansch Luss with Austria which was against the Wilson's 14 points of self determination.Therefore, there was a lot of bitterness and resentment towards the terms of the Treaty of Versailles by the Germans which caused Hitler to be so heavily supported and start world war 2, as Hitler's foreign policies appealed to restore the pride of the German people and to have more pure aaryans.

A reason that Hitler was not the main reason for the outbreak of the war in Europe is that the LON was weak and the members in the LON practiced appeasement and did not listen to the LON this made it easily exploitable by Hitler as Hitler was given countries without force because of appeasement. The members of LON like Britain and France did not listen to the LON to enforce economic sanctions on Italy when Italy invaded Abyssinia which showed how flawed the LON is and how weak it was as the members of the LON refused to listen and cooperate with the LON which was a contributing factor to the outbreak of the war in Europe.

In conclusion, the weaknesses of the LON because of the practice of appeasement, the members of the LON like Britain and France not listening and cooperating with the LON and Hitler's ambitions of his foreign policies of Lebensraum and a Greater Germany so that there will be more living space for the Aaryan race and the Germans will be united as one Germany were the reasons for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler's ambitions in creating a Greater Germany was one of the main reasons war broke out in Europe. Hitler had started becoming more ambitious and wanted even more land to build Germany back to a superpower. As a result, he decided to break the Treaty of Versailles and invaded neighboring territories such as Rhineland, Saar and Sudetenland. Britain and France did nothing cause of appeasement and let Hitler continue to gain more territories. The main trigger was when Hitler invaded Poland when Britain and France decided to intervene. Thus, Hitler's ambition to build a Greater Germany was one of the main reasons for outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler;s vision to obtain more Lebensraum(living space) through force was  another main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe. Hitler was becoming restless after more and more ethnic Germans started migrating into Germany and there was not enough space at the time. He only saw one way to solve the overpopulation: invade more territories. In the end, Hitler decided to break the Treaty of Versailles and reintroduce conscription. He also invaded Saar and Rhineland. After he began conquering more countries such as Sudetenland, Hitler still felt that he needed more land so he broke his promise to Britain that he would only take the Sudetenland and invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia. This forced Britain to step in and prevent Hitler from conquering even more countries. Hence, Hitler's vision to obtain more Lebensraum was another main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

However, the practice of Appeasement by Britain and France was also a main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.  In order to prevent another World War, Britain and France did not want to resort to violence to stop Hitler. When Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles and started invading nearby territories, Britain and France just gave in into whatever Hitler wanted. For example, When Hitler invaded Rhineland, Britain and France just let him and gave the excuse of Rhineland being "Germany's backyard". They thought that if they kept on giving in, Hitler would eventually stop. However, because there was no resistance, Hitler believed that he could just continue conquering more and more territories. Therefore, the practice of Appeasement by Britain and France was also a main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitlers aggressiveness and his boldness was the main reason for the outbreak of world war 2 in Europe. After the humiliation the germans suffered as a result of the treaty of Versailles, Hitler started a campaign to restore former german glory like how it was before world war 1. He did this by making Greater Germany one of his core ideals as well as believed that German speaking countries such as Austria and Sudetenland should belong under Germany as well. Hitler used conscription as well as rearment to strengthen the German army. Completely disregarding the terms of the treaty of Versailles. With this new powerful army Hitler started going against the league of nations and started to invade other territories belonging to other countries which inevitably resulted in a clash between various countries and for world war 2 to begin

Hitler's aggressive expansionist policy was a main reason for the outbreak of the war. One such example was when he invaded Poland. Since 1937, Hitler had demanded for Danzig to be part of Germany. Then on August 1939, Hitler demanded for Danzig and control of the polish corridor. At first, British and France were willing to negotiate with Germany regarding Danzig. However when negotiations broke down and Germany invaded Poland on 1 september, Britain and France declared war on Germany. This incident shows that if Hitler was not so aggressive, the war many not have happened in the first place.
Despite Hitler's aggressive methods, there were other decisive factors the led to the war. One factor is that the League of Nations were weak. Disarmament was seen as the most effective way to prevent war, however the League of Nations were not successful in this area.In 1932 to 1934, the World Disarmament Conference was held. However it was a failure as France refused to limit their own armaments, Germany wanted to match other countries' armament level and Britain refused to commit at a level requested by France. This shows that there was a general unwillingness to disarm as the country would be less able to defend itself. The major powers did not trust one another and wanted the ability to protect themselves.

In conclusion, Hitler's aggressive methods to reach his ambition of a Greater Germany was a key factor in the outbreak of the war as it increased tension in Europe. However, League of Nations' failure to disarm was also a key factor in the outbreak as it left countries with a lot of firepower .

Hitlers aggression and ambitions was some of the reasons why war broke out in Europe. Hitlers Forign policy was one reason why war broke out in Europe. Hitler wanted to reunite all the germans in europe to form Greater Germany. by doing this, hitler invade german populated countires such as Rhineland, Sudetenland and Austria. this broke the treaty of Verasillies. howerver, britian and france didnt do anything to germany as they were practcing appeasement. furthermore, when hitler invaded Rhineland, britian and france did nothing because they felt that Rhineland was Geramans backyard. after this, hitler grew more ambitious and wanted to seek out more land and invade the rest of europe. beacuse of this, britan and france was scared of hitler and feared for their own safety. thus they decided to declare war on germany. hence, hitlers aggressive expansion over europe caused britian to declare war on europe as they feared for their own safety.

HItler's ambitions is a main reason war broke out in Europe. Hitler wrote in his book Mein Kampt about untiting all the german speaking and ethnic germans, this meant him invading Rhineland, taking over parts of Cechoslovakia and uniting with Austria. All of these were against the terms of treaty of Versailles and ended to UK declaring war with Germany and Hitler.

Another thing Hitler did that provoked war is his need to restore german glory. In his quest for glory he  reintroduced conscription to Germany, building up the German army and rearmmed the German army with submarines, planes and battleships. All of these gave hitler the ability to invade Poland with the Soviets and starting WW2 in Europe.

Although Hitler did take part in the outbreak of war in Europe, the weakness of the Legue of Nations could be argued to be even more impactful in the outbreak of WW2. The Legue of Nations were weak because of the apeasment policy they were using, this policy made the LON give into aggressive Nations to avoid confilct, but this ended up embolding these aggresive nations like Germany to do whatever they wanted becuase they know the LON will do nothing to stop them other than moral persuation.

In conclution, it could be said thay Hitler was a reason that war broke out in europe with his aggresivemilitary actions and his ambitions, but he was not the sole reason war broke out in Europe because the weakness of the LON was also a main factor in the outbreak of war.

Hitler's promises he presented was one of the reasons that led to the outbreak of war in Europe. When Hitler was attempting to gain support for the Nazi Party he stated that he wanted to expand into other territories to gain lebensraum. This served as a reason that helped to justify Hitler's cause in invading Poland and the soviet union in order to gain land and resources so as to achieve the greatness that the german people were destined for and also to gain living space which was desperately needed by the germans.
Hitler's ambitions and ideology he wrote down in his book 'Mein Kampf' about his political beliefs that Germany and Austria should form an anschluss was another reason that led to the start of WW2.  Hitler felt that it made sense for the ethnic germans in austria to join them as they were also german speakers. Many Austrians strongly supported this union and due to the Treaty of Versailles preventing it thye felt that the principle of self-determination only applied to the allied countries. When a plebiscite was called for, most of the austrians voted for anschluss. As a result, Austria was annexed by Germany without any setbacks or conflicts.
However, Hitler was not the only reason that led to the outbreak of WW2 as the LON was weak due to its inability to solve disputes with strong powerful countries. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and remilitarised Rhineland as a method to obtain land and resources for the Germans, Britain and France who were members of the LON, did nothing although they were the more powerful members of the League. This was because Britain and France were war-weary after the results of WW1 and they were employing the policy of appeasement where they decided to give in to Germany to avoid conflict. In addition, Britain was sympathetic towards Germany and they considered the Rhineland as a German backyard.
In conclusion, Hitler's aggression and military actions started WW2. The remilitarisation of the Rhineland as well as the expanding of their influence into Czechoslovakia helped to boost the Germans pride and nationalism and also achieve Hitler's aim of a 'Greater Germany', while the long-term hatred and bitterness the Germans held towards the Weimar Government and the Treaty of Versailles where they had to accept the blame served as an underlying reason for the conquering of territories to build up their prestige and influence. Hitler's attack into Poland was the trigger event that sparked off Britain's and France's decision to declare war on Germany that led to the outbreak of WW2.

Hitler's bitterness to the treatment of Germany after world war 1 was a reason of the outbreak of ww2 in europe. Germany was bombarded with countless problems and accusations from the winning parties such as  the USA and especially france, who experienced the most amount of fatalities and damage with about 1400000 men dead. This forced huge reperations which Germany had to repay, which unfortunately they coud'nt.  Hitler was ashamed at the leaders who sined this humiliating treaty. In order to restore Germany back to where it was supposed to be, Hitler became aggressive and started taking opportunities and taking back land lost after the signing of the treaty of versailles. An example would be Austria. However other superpowers underestimated Hitler's ambition to take over many areas of land and this led to rising tensions between Germany and other european superpowers.

Hitler violating the treaty of versailles also could have contributed to the start of ww2. Hitlers idea to start conscription was against the rules signed by the leaders of germany of the treaty. This hugely inspired actions to warn hitler about the consequences if he failed to follow the terms.  HEnce this allowed for more tensions to flair up.

In conclusion, Hitlers bitterness and anger about the treatment of Germany after ww1 lead him to make drastic actions which has a huge impact on the relationships with the superpowers of europe

Hitlers expansionist policy was the main reason for the outbreak of WWII in Europe. He believed that the Germans were the 'aryan race' as he wanted to rebuild Germany to its once proud armed forces. This would have been done by establishing a greater germany, whereby Hitler would focus on acquiring lands such as Poland, Austria and Sudetenland by uniting all the ethnic Germans outside Germany. In addition, he wanted to create more living space for the Germans to live, which was known as lebensraum, whereby Hitlers would expand German territory by conquering the Soviet Union and Poland.
However, the weakness of the league of nations was another reason which lead to the outbreak of WWII. The LON was extremely weak as the conference of ambassadors often made decisions that were supposed to be made by the league themselves. Many countries in the LON were uncooperative and did not work well together as unanimous voting was required for most decisions to be carried out. Furthermore, the LON lacked a strong army to enforce its economic sanctions as the USA retreated back in isolationism to protect its own interest. Lastly, there was limited membership in the LON, with the 3 major world powers all not being in the league like Soviet Union, Germany and USA, the league was weak and lacked support. This further lead to the outbreak of WWII as many countries as the LON as weak and not capable to stopping other countries from attacking each other.

Hitlers aggressiveness and bold actions were the main reason why world war 2 broke out.  The Treaty Of Versaille obstructed Germany from gaining more power and making more money. The Economic sanctions placed on Germany caused them to be weakened even further. To gain back lost power and pride, Hitler aggressively invaded territory such as Austria and the demilitarized Rhineland, causing an uproar and rising tensions between other neighbouring european countries.

Hitler also defied the Treaty of Versaille and slowly built up a massive army of 300000 soldiers even though they were only allowed 100000 soldiers and no further conscription. Although given multiple warnings by the League Of Nations, Hitler was confident and invaded Poland.

Therefore, Hitlers lack of foresight and uneccessary aggressive behaviour lead to to outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler introduced back conscription,which was a factor in the outbreak of war in Europe. After World War one,the Wiemar republic was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles.German pride was tarnished and the people felt humiliated by the loss. Hitler felt that he was the only one who could restore former German glory and wanted to reunite all German speaking people into one. he began first by ramping up his army and introducing conscription, which was a clear violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

Another reason that Hitler could have been the cause of the outbreak of war in Europe was that he invaded Poland through the Polish corridor. After he took  Czechoslovakia and Austria , Britain and France did not take any aggressive actions against Germany but used appeasement as to prevent a potential second World War. Hitler boldly decided to take Poland as well sighting  that there were some ethnic Germans. Britain  and France had  to put their foot in to prevent Germany from just invading neutral countries.Hitler did so anyway.If Hitler was not aggressive in  His foreign policies in reuniting Germans , war in Europe would not have happen.

However, start of war in Europe is not entirely Hitler's fault.Another culprit is the Weakness of League of Nations(LON).The League of nations had an array of issues internally. One, it did not have an army,and that the only way way for them to stop aggressive nations for consolidating other countries was through economic sanctions ,which bigger countries could simply ignore.Big countries like America ,Germany and Russia(USSR) were not part of it.For an action to take place, all countries must give a thumbs up,however the countries in it were more concern about their personal problems.An example was the Abyssinia crisis.when Italy first invaded Abyssinia to restore Italian pride ,Abyssinia called for the LON to help them.Having no army they imposed economic sanctions against Italy,who did not care. Britain and France decided to give Italy Abyssinia secretly.This thus shows the LON's weakness in that it could not control aggressive and powerful nations from doing what they wanted.

In conclusion, I feel that LON was to blame for war in Europe.Had LON been stricter in enforcing sanctions , have a proper army and have all countries focused in stopping Hitler from trying to take over Europe instead of self interest , They might have prevented war in Europe.However, all blame is not on LON as Hitler would have probably pushed for Greater Germany regardless of the obstacles as he came into power because people believed he could save them and Hitler believed that He ws the only person to do so.

Hitler's expansionist policy was one of the most important reasons for the outbreak of war. He re militarized Rhineland using the Franco Soviet alliance as an excuse saying that he was under threat from France and Soviet Union and that he should be able to defend his frontiers. By this, he violated the Treaty of Versailies and this did not affect France and Britain as they had to deal with the Abyssinia crisis. Knowing this, Hitler grew bolder in his demand and this new aggression led to Hitler starting World War 2.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler's aggressive ways to reach his goal of a greater Germany is one of the main reasons war broke out in Europe. He wanted German-majority countries to be reunited with Germany like how it used to be before the end of World War 1. To achieve this, Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles and invaded Rhineland. In addition, he also invaded Austria, Czechoslovakia  and the German-majority of Sudetenland. Although Britain and France practised the appeasement policy, they probably found it unreasonable for Hitler to gain so many territories. Resultantly, they mostly likely started being suspicious of Hitler's plans and resented him.Thus, Hitler's confrontational way to work towards his goal is one of the reasons that started the war in Europe.

Hitler's vision to achieve Lebensraum (living space) by force is another reason why war in Europe began. After he had captured countries consisting of mostly Germans such as Sudetenland, He needed more land to sustain a newly formed and much larger German community. So Hitler conquered the rest of Czechoslovakia even though Britain and France agreed to give Sudetenland to Hitler. This made some of the British people realise that war was the only option to stop Hitler's invasive force. Thus they distrusted in Hitler. Hence, Hitler's goal to attain Lebensraum is the second reason to why Europe had an outbreak of war.

Hitler's occupation of Poland is the last principal reason for the outbreak of war in Europe. Chamberlain assured the Poles, promising them with British support if Germany attacked Poland. Hitler did not believe him and thought he was going to give Poland to him too due to their practice of appeasement. Therefore he carried on with his plan and was surprised when Britain declared war on Germany. Hence, Hitler's invasion of Poland was the third cause war erupted in Europe

In a nutshell, although Britain, France and other countries were not initially concerned about Hitler starting another war, Hitler's drive to conquer Europe through military force such as invading to achieve his goal sparked the tension amongst European countries. Consequently, war was inevitable. Therefore, Hitler truly was the main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitlers aggressiveness and his motives for a greater Germany and control over Europe led to world war 2. After world war 1, Hitler began his work to restore Germany's status as a world powerhouse and their pride and pursued this ambition by aiming to form a greater germany in which all german soeaking countries would unite. However,  this would mean that Hitler would have to invade these countires to rule them and due to the treaty of Versailles,  Germany's army was limited to only a 100 000 man. Hitler then solved this problem by brealing the treaty of Versailles and started conscriptio  showing that he did not fear the League of Nations and was a sign of aggression. The League of nations did nothing to stop Hitler building up his army through conscription and this sign of weakness also led to boosting hitlers confidence and showed that the league of nations were scared of war and were weak thus allowing Germany to invade Rhineland, austria and Czechoslovakia. The league of nations did nothing as they were practising appeasement which allowed hitler to advance throughout Europe and achieve his goal of a greater Germany which was one of the reasons world war 2 started.
Another reason world war 2 started was Hitlers goal for lebenstreum. To support such a huge community,  he would need more land and thus he conquered the rest of Czechoslovakia despite france and britain handing over the sudentland to him peacefully. This act of aggresion and war led the British to realise that Hitler would not stop until he had control of the soviet union which would thus allow him to achieve his goal of lebensraum and thus warned Germany that if they invaded poland, Britain would go to war with Germany.
Hitler did not believe Britain as they had shown alot of weakness along with the rest of the league of nations when Hitler first began his invasions and thought they would back down again. The invasion of poland was the trigger which caused Britain to declare was on Germany and war started all around Europe and eventually all around the world thus leading to world war 2.
Thus the weakness of the lon when Hitler first began his invasions and rhem allowing him to buold up his army and conquer so much land without doing anything led to Hitlers confidence that they would again do nothing when he invaded poland which ultimately led to world war 2.

(sorry madam i'm unable to edit the original post)
Hitler's aggressive military actions were a reason for the outbreak of world war 2. Due to the treaty of Versailles, Germany was hobbled by multiple sanctions preventing them from developing a strong military as well as being forced to give up large areas of land such as Alsace-Lorraine and East Prussia to other countries such as the League of nations and the soviet union. Therefore, in order to improve german pride and military power, Hitler decided to build up germany's military as well as by invading territory such as the Rhineland and Austria, leading to tensions between Germany and the other european powers to rise, leading to the outbreak of war in europe.

However,  WW2 began partly due to the failures of the League of Nations. Due to it's structure, the League was weak and unable to act if the vote from members was not unanimous, leading to them failing to act in situations such as the invasion of Manchuria by Japan and the annexation of Abyssinia. The league was also weak due to not including major powers such as America and  the Soviet union, resulting in the League being unable to act on many issues. Therefore, due to the many failures of the League of nations, I can conclude that world war 2 began due to the League's failure to defuse the tensions in Europe.

In conclusion, while Hitler was a large factor in the outbreak of world war 2, he was not the main reason as other factors such as the weaknesses of the League of Nations outweigh Hitler's actions in Germany, allowing me to conclude that Hitler was not the main reason for the outbreak of war in Europe.

Hitler’s following breaches of the terms of Versailles made it increasingly apparent that conflict may occur in Europe. Hitler deployed troops in the Spanish Civil War, supporting the fascist forces of Franco. He also formed a close alliance with the fascist dictator of Italy, Benito Mussolini. Now there was an axis of Power in the centre of Europe. Now there were two right wing dictators with expansionist aims. The manner in which these aims were addressed by the rest of Europe is open to debate. The League of Nations was supposed to mediate in cases of territorial dispute and to act as arbitrator between two nations struggling to maintain reasonable diplomatic relations. The dictators of Europe were encouraged by the inability of the League to prevent them taking action, however. They looked to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1933 and noted the League’s failure to prevent Japanese expansion. In 1936 Mussolini ordered Italian troops to invade Abyssinia (Ethiopia). The League of Nations took 2 months to decide upon a response, which then lacked ‘teeth’.

Anschluss

These decisions gave the dictators confidence that they would be able to press their claims for territory without facing real opposition from France, Britain and the United States. Consequently the German Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler took opportunities to remove further terms of the Treaty of Versailles. German armed forces were strengthened and loop holes in the clauses of the treaty of Versailles were exposed and exploited. Diplomatic efforts were heightened to further German claims for territory in the East, aiming to enable Lebensraum. In 1938 German troops annexed Austria, creating Anschluss, or a united Greater Germany. Unopposed Hitler then looked to the Sudentenland. This was an area of Czechoslovakia that was populated by predominantly ethic Germans. Hitler demanded a plebiscite to decide the governance of the land.

Appeasement

The Sudetenland crisis made the approach of Britain and France more open and obvious. Both nations pursued a policy of appeasement. In this policy Hitler was granted some of his wishes as they were considered to be reasonable, whilst diplomatic pressure was used to prevent him from going too far. Historians have debated whether this policy was sensible or not. Churchill, most famously, opposed the policy from the start and argued that decisive action had to be taken to prevent the onset of European conflict. Others at the time, believed that appeasement may allow Germany to restore her national self esteem and be gradually welcomed back into the political community. A third view was that appeasement could be used to buy time to rearm the allied forces in preparation for a conflict that was increasingly likely: military expenditure rose in Britain at the same time as the policy of Appeasement was being pursued.

Whatever the aim of Appeasement, Hitler viewed it as a weakness. Britain and France were extremely unlikely, in his mind, to do anything to prevent his expansion into the East, certainly not in the short term. The Sudentenland was ceded to Germany as a result of the plebiscite. Hitler then invaded the remainder of Czechoslovakia. The response of the British and French was to seek assurances from Hitler that he had no further demands. At the Munich Conference such assurances were made, and Hitler informed that any further actions of this nature would lead to war, a reference to Hitler’s ambitions in Poland.

Poland

Following the Munich Agreement there was a flurry of diplomatic meetings with representatives of the Soviet Union. The British and French sought an alliance with the USSR as they believed that Hitler would be reluctant to invade Poland without the support of Stalin. Similarly, Hitler sought support from the USSR as he did not want to engage in war with Russia at this time. In August 1939, the German and Soviet foreign ministers made an agreement that gave half of Poland to each nation, in the event of a war. Confident that the Western European nations would not intervene in an Eastern European conflict, Hitler’s troops were ordered to invade Poland on the First of September 1939. The British and French declared war on Germany as a result.

Hitler’s policy of rearmament and expansionism was the cause for Germany’s rapid re-militarization by willingly ignoring the treaty of Versailles. With his territory quickly expanding onto Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Sudetenland, combined with a loyal army that easily exceeded 10 million soldiers, Germany once again became a superpower. At the time Britain and France were practicing the policy of appeasement, so it was very easy for Hitler to proceed smoothly with his conquest, undisrupted. Naturally Hitler and the Germans gained the confidence to the invade Poland, which ignited world war 2.

However, if it had not been for the LON’s submissiveness, Hitler would not have been able to grow Germany so quickly into a powerful nation. Due to their policy of appeasement, they did not bother to interfere with Hitler’s plans, when he was unlawfully increasing his territory and enhancing his military power. All of which defied the treaty of Versailles. It became evidently clear to Hitler that the LON does not want to, or is unable to take control of his aggressive actions. This led to Hitler invading the entirety Czechoslovakia despite the agreement. If the LON had done their job and kept Germany under control Hitler would not have been able to gain enough power to start world war 1.

In conclusion, if it not been for LON’s neglecting Germany, Hitler would not have been granted such freedom of growth that eventually led to world war 2. Therefore, it was the LON that was being irresponsible, and allowed WW2 to happen. Their weakness was the main reason instead of Hitler.
