Outbreak of WW2 by Kate Faherty https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx en-us 2023-01-16 21:05:20 UTC 2025-12-13 19:27:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Japanese Invasion of Manchuria 1931 kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446057630 Causes: an explosion destroyed a section of railway track near the city of Mukden. The Japanese, who owned the railway, blamed Chinese nationalists for the incident and used the opportunity to retaliate and invade Manchuria.
Consequences: The invasion ultimately led to the Second Sino-Japanese War and helped to increase tensions before World War II.   The incident led to more Japanese military aggression in China.

Consequences: The agreement broke down shortly after it was made due to the vagueness of the pact and the fact that no parties were strong enough to go up against Germany at the time. The breakdown of the Stresa Front prompted Hitler to flaunt the terms of Versailles and become even more aggressive in his foreign policy.

Consequences: This invasion/ war contributed to international tensions between the fascist states and the Western democracies. It also served as a rallying point, especially after World War II, for developing African nationalist movements.

This pact would help Mussolini make the independent nation of Abyssinia into an Italian colony.
Consequences: The pact caused turmoil within the League of Nations,  It showed that Britain and France were willing to undermine the League to protect their own interests.  The League was supposed to protect smaller countries, but Italy was given the rights to Abyssinian land after its aggressive actions.

By 1937 Japan controlled large sections of China, and war crimes against the Chinese became commonplace.
Consequences: Caused the Second Sino-Japanese war. Cause millions of deaths for the Chinese army ]]> 2023-01-16 21:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446072683 German Rearmament of the Rhineland 1936 kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446074525 Causes: France and the USSR signed a treaty of friendship and mutual support. Hitler resented this and argued that it was a hostile move against Germany, and the area of the Rhineland could in turn be used by France to invade Germany. Hitler was determined to overturn the remaining military and territorial provisions of the treaty 
Consequences:  The German rearmament changed the balance of power in Europe from France and its allies towards Germany by allowing Germany to pursue a policy of aggression in Western Europe that had been blocked by the demilitarized status of the Rhineland.

So Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and France sign the Munich agreement, by which Czechoslovakia must surrender its border regions and defenses to Nazi Germany. 
Consequences: It was meant to be a peaceful agreement but enabled Hitler to continue showing force and have his demands met. The Munich Agreement had failed due to its weak predecessors and the strong pattern of appeasement towards Hitler that had already been established. Hitler continued to take over different countries throughout Europe.

Consequences:  Japan was able to reach the natural resources that they wanted but the US was unhappy with Japan invading another country for their own benefit. Roosevelt froze all Japanese financial assets in the United States and restricted oil exports.]]> 2023-01-16 21:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446079012 Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor 1941 kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446080214 Causes:Japan's motivation for attacking Pearl Harbor was driven by its political self-interests, its scarcity of economic resources and perceived opportunity costs, and America's embargo policy.
Consequences: Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor took place on December 7, 1941. The U.S. military suffered 18 ships, and 2,400 people were killed. Its most significant consequence was the entrance of the United States into World War II. Japan and the US declared war on each other. Eventually Germany declared war on the US as well. ]]> 2023-01-16 21:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2446080214 --- kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2447311103 2023-01-17 18:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2447311103 Fascism in Italy 1920s/1930s kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2449079634 Cause: The economic crisis of the 1920s and 1930s was when Italian fascism emerged. There were tensions with over pay and work conditions that landowning farmers and socialist workers had conflict over. Mussolini and Fascists ideology formed street fighting groups called the blackshirts to support landowners. The fascists used fighting to gain power in the region when the government could not help the conflict. The fascists had attacked throughout the region and defeated the socialists. Mussolini's war against Ethiopia in 1935 brought race into focus as a Fascist concern.
Consequence: When Mussolini seized power, Fascists had hoped to take over the Italian state completely. The compromises with conservatives and liberal elites put up too many obstacles for this plan to succeed. The result was that while authoritarian, it was never really totalitarian within the territory of Italy.

Vladimir Lenin, their leader, rose to power and governed between 1917 and 1924.

Consequences : Rule by communist parties has often led to totalitarianism, political repression, restrictions of human rights, poor economic performance, and cultural and artistic censorship. the Soviet Union was effectively an ally of Nazi Germany in a relatively conventional European interstate war.

Similar to the Nazi Germany, Japan believed in ethic and racial superiority. Similar to the Italian Fascists, the Japanese imperialists also depicted their conquests as savior missions to help "civilize" people seen as inferior. ]]> 2023-01-18 23:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2449080852 Appeasement kfahertystudent1 https://padlet.com/kfahertystudent1/v702yjxvhs9gbfyx/wish/2449081402 the act of no response or no force to Hitler's wrongdoings by Britain and France  
  1. Causes-
    1. Britain and France not using force or dismissing Hitler's actions when he went against the Treaty of Versailles and violated LON policies due to some believing the Treat of Versailles was unfair to Germany, and some being scared of Hitler or averting war.
    2. Anglo-German Naval agreement (1935): Britain and France allowed Germany to rebuild the military after Stresa Front
  2. Consequences-
    1. Germany sent troops into Rhineland (1936): France lodged a complaint with the League of Nations. Britain said that it was not in a position to back France in a conflict with Germany.
    2. Hitler annexing Czechoslovakia (1938): stated people were being brutalized, so he sent troops to the border who eventually invaded 
    3. Germany invades Denmark & Norway (1940): Germany invades in order to obtain more naval bases, and both countries were forced to surrender with no fight back from France and Britain.
