In your opinion why did it start? But please give me an answer involving Germany and Hitler. I will do best answer!
because Hitler said his enemy was the Communists and these people Financed Hitler and the Nazis in the belief that hitler would Go to war with Russia and he did exactly what he was Paid to do
1924 Rockefeller Invest in Hitler and the NAZI party
1933 FDR Rockefeller’s Prescott Bush Lindbergh Warburg of the chase bank Used JP morgan and Associates to set Up the Hitler Fund this Raised the Money Hitler needed to Contest the 1933 elections that Put Hitler in Power
1933 Ford sets Up Factories in Russia and Germany
1933 ITT GM start to Build Hitler war machine In germany
1938 IBM sets up hitlers census this later was used to Round Up the Jews
1940 Standard Oil IG Farben Texaco set up 40 petrochemical plants in Germany and Occupied countries the Biggest was at Buna In Poland using 83,000 slaves with assistance from Dupont
1943 ITT engineer flies to madrid to give the NAZIS a New Navigation system for the ITT owned Fokker wolfs later this Navigation system was fitted into the V1 and the V2
1941 GM starts to Build the US army’s worst tank the Sherman remember they had Been Building Tigers and Panthers since 1933
so the worst the Sherman was the More they needed to make ( Money was the Motivation )
1922, payments by I.G. Farben and General Electric in 1933, followed by the Standard Oil of New Jersey and I.T.T. subsidiary payments to Heinrich Himmler up to 1944. US multi-nationals under the control of Wall Street profited handsomely from Hitler’s military construction program in the 1930’s and at least until 1942.
Henry Ford was an early (1922) Hitler backer and Edsel Ford continued the family tradition in 1942 by encouraging French Ford to profit from arming the German Wehrmacht. Subsequently, these Ford-produced vehicles were used against American soldiers as they landed in France in 1944. For his early recognition of, and timely assistance to, the Nazis, Henry Ford received a Nazi medal in 1938. The records of French Ford suggest Ford Motor received kid glove treatment from the Nazis after 1940.
in 1939 ITT and GM financed SKF in Gotenburg to ensure that they could Supply all the ball bearing needed to Build hitlers Trucks tanks and aircraft and in 1943 SKF of Philadelphia sent 600,000 units a year Via spain to Germany and Failed to supply the US army more than 23 % of their needs

Not what you are Looking for ????? but all true and thousands of more Companies and people all from the USA
WWI ended. WWII has been called a continuation of WWI. When you look at the end of WWI you see the setting for WWII in the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles placed the blame for WWI on Germany’s shoulders and Germany was forced to pay for the war. Germany was broke and German pride shattered. In such an enviroment people don’t wan’t to fell it’s their fault, someone else is to blame. Hitler used that enviroment to his advantage. Germany, according to Hitler, didn’t loose the war, the Jews sold Germany out. He stirred up anger and hatered all in the name of “restoring national pride and glory.”
The German people were ashamed of their defeat in World War 1. Combined with the Great Depression, it led to a national thirst for redemption and strength. Hitler gave them this by first annexing areas lost in the first World War, such as the Rhine. Then came Czechoslovakia, then East Prussia, and then Poland. The invasion of Poland set of France and Great Britain and there you go, World War 2.
The Great Depression of the 1930’s caused major problems that swept worldwide. Almost all modern, developed economies were affected by the Wall Street Crash of October 1929, and poverty spread across the world like wildfire.
Germany before the 1930’s was known as the Weimar Republic. Prior to 1918, it was known as the German Empire ruled by the Kaiser. After the war crimes of the German Empire in the First World War, the monarchy was forced to abdicate and the governance of the German Empire was overthrown, restored by the “Weimar Republic”. The Weimar Republic failed to keep Germany strong after World War I. Countries like France demanded huge amounts of reparations (war damage costs) every year and Germany, with its economy ruined by the Treaty of Versailles (1919, meant to “punish” Germany for its crimes in World War I), could not possibly pay these reparations. There was disaster in the early 20’s, with hyperinflation of the German currency, and a firing squad at the Ruhr (Germany’s industrial central) by the French due to Germany not being able to pay the war damage costs.
However, Gustav Stresseman from 1923 onwards helps to rebuild Germany’s economy and pay the reparations – by borrowing money for the now-hugely-prosperous 1920’s America. However, this could only last for around six years. Because in 1929, the Wall Street Crash occurred, setting a worldwide economic collapse, and causing the Great Depression. America demanded for all the money lent to the Weimar Republic to be given back right away, and this crippled the German economy. If you thought the Great Depression hit America hard with poverty, Germany was hit even harder. Germany still had to pay reparations every year, and Germany became impoverished.
The Germans wanted a strong leader. The Weimar Republic had been a total failure and hadn’t solved any of Germany’s problems. the Germans couldn’t take the harsh punishments set by the Treaty of Versailles any longer, and poor, working class Germans, which made up a majority of the population, turned to Communists. On the other hand, middle and upper class Germans feared Communism (because they had wealth and property) and turned to – yes, the Nazi Party.
Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party, promised to destroy the Treaty of Versailles, and his nationalistic ideas appealed to many Germans. He wanted to reunite all German-speaking peoples and create a pure race. He blamed minority groups such as the many Jews in Germany for Germany’s economic troubles – and the financially ruined Germans were happy to blame someone for ruining the German economy.
Hitler, with the correct amount of scheming, managed to win against the equally powerful Communist Party. He was a sensational public speaker and his promises of making Germany strong again and taking revenge on the Treaty of Versailles set by France was what Germans wanted to hear. Germans did not want a weak, mid-wing leader like the Weimar Republic – they wanted a STRONG leader to turn tables and move heaven and earth. In the Reichstag Fire, the Reichstag Building (the Parliament) was partially burned down. A man was found inside who claimed to be a Communist. The Communist Party was banned from the Elections. It’s worth noting, however, that that man had the mental age of an eight year old, and strangely enough there was a secret passage leading from the Reichstag Building to the Nazi headquarters…
Thus, the Nazi Party, extremist right-wing, won the elections.
Eventually, after President Vandenburg’s death, Hitler made himself the “Fuhrer” or leader, combining the roles of Chancellor and President. Germany was now a Fascist, Socialist state, and Hitler brainwashed the people of Germany. Young people in school were taught to hate on Jews, who were used as scapegoats, and nationalism was embedded in German minds. Germans were taught the the blonde and blue-eyed “Aryans” were the master race of the world, and this provoked Germans into thinking they are SUPPOSED to make a global domination.
In 1939, Hitler declared that Britain was the main enemy to be defeated if the Germans were to become the world’s supreme nation (after all, Britain was both a major enemy in the First World War, which Hitler fought and suffered in, and also had the world’s largest empire by far back then), and the obliteration of Jewish Poland (remember, Hitler used the tactic of blaming Jews and minorities to promote nationalism in Germany) was necessary to make Germany powerful. So Germany invaded Poland, and Britain was forced to act. German and Britain declared War on each other, and so started the Second World War, which would last six years.
Because at the end of WW1 the victors were too hard on Germany – or too soft on Germany.
My meaning is that the conditions imposed made life in Germany very difficult, so engender great animosity – but they didn’t weaken Germany to the point where it could never again become a threat. Hat the terms been easier, they might have turned Germany into a friend. Had they been harsher they could have turned Germany back into several small states with no industrial or military strength.
In Europe, the terms of the treaty of Versailles made it inevitable. … As a matter of fact, many historians consider WWII to be a continuation of WWI with a respite in between.
In Asia, Japan, being a country of few (if any) natural resources, wished to secure the raw materials it needed (particularly iron and oil); and decided that the only way to secure them was to war against the European nations and America.
It was because of WW1, if that never happened, germany would of never been poor, and hitler wouldn’t of rose to power because the country wouldn’t desperately need a leader
Britain and France were allies of Poland and both countries gave a promise to help Poland if Germany invaded,which it did and 6 years of hell for Europe
It’s because hitler started to take over countries like Poland and chechoslovakia. If he didn’t stop, a war was promised to start.
Economy
We had a pact with Poland which meant when Adolf invaded them we had to intervene.
stupid misunderstanding
