WW2

          In the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin was the leader. Italy was being controlled by Benito Mussolini. Hideki Jojo was in charge of Japan. The president of the U.S. after the WW1 was Franklin D. Roosevelt. All the leaders agreed on not wanting another war.
        Italy and Germany were extreme nationalist. They  wanted militaristic expansion they were also anti-Soviet.


The Nazis leader Adolf Hitler

       After the war the National Socialist German Worker's Party people also known it as the Nazi Party started to take over Europe. Adolf Hitler was a powerful speaker that later became the leader of the group promised Germany that he would lead them out of chaos.
        After WW1 the Great Depression started. With  the Great Depression a lot of the men in Germany started to get unemployed. This helped the Nazis gain power. It later help them convince  those men to join their army. People were desperate that they turned to Hitler for help and they turned him into the chancellor. From their it was easier for to take over Germany.
         The Leaguer of Nations was setup after WW1 to help prevent world wars later failed. Around 1935 Hitler got out of the League of Nations and started to violate the treaties they once signed. The first treaty broken was the Treaty of Versailles by creating his own army. When he started to take over Ethiopia with the help of Italian soldiers the League of Nations didn't do anything to stop them. Later they didn't give them any money but that also didn't do anything with Italy.
          After the WW1 the U.S. was so scared and alarmed with the problems going that they didn't want to get involved incase that turned in to a war. They also passed the Neutrality because they didn't want outsiders to be coming in the U.S. President Roosevelt was against isolationism so he tried to help China. When isolationism newspapers accused the president that he was leading the U.S. into another war he backed out from helping anyone.

This shows the places Hitler took over

          Hitler than started to take over Europe little by little. His first move was toward Austria. One day he just went to Austria and proposed that they would unify. They agreed and there was no war. His next move was for Czechoslovakia. He accused them of abusing the Sudeten Germans. The Czechs were protected by France and Great Britain until war was inevitable and Hitler decided to sign the Munich Agreement. It stated that Germany wouldn't invade another country besides the Czechs. His next move to take over Germany was to take over Poland. He lied that the Germans in Poland were mistreated and needed his protection. He signed a non-aggression pact with Poland.
          Hitler invaded Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, France, Denmark, the Netherlands(Holland), Belgium, and the Soviet Union.
          Germany's position in the map gave them an advantage to take over the countries they took. They are placed in an edge so they can see all their opponents and not worry of getting attacked.
          Winston Churchill was the prime minister's rival in Great Britain. He didn't agree with the prime minister because he thought the policy was just an appeasement and they would then still go to war. He had said "We have passed an awful milestone in our history ... And do not suppose that is the end..."

The U.S. After WW1

     

Some people were celebrating their victory after the war

After WW1 many Americans feared outsiders, immigrants, and communist. They thought if they were in isolation it will be the best idea. The Americans feared communism because that would give everyone the same amount of money so there would not be a difference between the working class and the elite. The U.S. went to the extreme of limiting immigration.

       With these fears the Americans turned Nativist and limited immigration. Nativist helped with the fears because they didn't wanted outsiders they thought "Let America for Americans". When they limited the immigration a lot of the opportunities immigrants had in the U.S. were harder to get.

       Americans related their fears to the League of Nations because they didn't want to care for others that are smaller in size and power. They didn't want collective security. 

Communist was one of the most feared ideas in the U.S

       Communist wanted the working class to rule the government. The money would be distributed evenly. There would be no difference between the working class and the elite.

Germany's Dissatisfaction

    

The ships were in a straight line blocking any ship from coming inside 

      Germany was upset with the U.S. an Great Britain because of the blockade. Britain saw that the U.S was shipping ammunition and other supplies to Germany so they decided use their naval strength and created a blockade. When that happened the U.S. decided to just stop sending ships to deliver supplies when they wouldn't be able to deliver successfully which then upset the Germans. 

Woodrow Wilson tried to to keep the world peace

       Like the blockade was intercepting every U.S boat and didn't let any food or other supplies come in the Germans decided to start sinking ships not caring whose they were. Some of the U.S boats were also sunked one of the worst was in May 7, 1915 when a lot of American lifes were lost.
      During this time period the U.S. president at that time Woodrow Wilson didn't want to fall into the provocations of the Germans they tried not to fight but talk it out. The Germans agreed for a while but then broke their promises later on.  Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep things calmed and not have to go war because of the blockade.
     I think Woodrow Wilson had a great idea on trying to make peace with Germany and Great Britain. If each problem was resolved talking and not going straight to war we could avoid wars at all.

Why the U.S. Joined WW1

This is a diagram of how a trench would be designed

     Imagine being in the war in 1918 you are inside a trench. There are rats everywhere this has been your home for three years. Everyday you are either trying to go to your enemy's side or fighting the enemies trying to take your land.

    WW1 was important because it was the first war that not only did it involved neighboring countries but the  whole world. One thing that is interesting about the is that soldiers had to be in the trenches for three whole years unless they died. They had ammunition in the trenches and anything they needed for the battles.

In WW1 only men could go to war

    Now a days in wars women can fight. Wars are also fought in small teams instead of big armies like 1918. Back in the day the two opposing countries would take their big armies into the battlefield. White men were the only ones allowed to join the army.
     During WW1 the U.S. helped the Allies which in this alliances it included  France, Britain, and Russia. The U.S. helped them by supplying ammunition and other supplies the countries needed for battle. One reason they joined the war was to make sure they could get there money back for all the supplies they provided to the countries at war.
