INTRODUCTION
The report aims to analyse the causes and reasons for World War II. It is all about the
history of Adolf Hitler who was born in 2th April 1889 in the small Austrian town. The Hitler
was loyal about the Germany. The Hitler was to be an artist but the family was not in support. So
that, he thinks abut putting his creativity in developing political views to rule the Germany.
Hitler has served many years in the Germany and got affected and injured in the World Wars.
Therefore, Hitler known to be the strict and aggressive person in the history of the politics which
leads to created the institution of wars in the country (Bottelier, 2022). The World War II was
started in 1939 to 1945 which was known as the global war in the history of politics. So the
Adolf Hitler has played crucial role in this war who was the leader of Nazi party.
MAIN BODY
TASK
Adolf Hitler was known as the Dictator or the ruler who has huge motives and objectives
to achieve at global level. The Nazi party is in the control of the Hitler in order to make his own
entity in the Germany and rule in the country in own way. He was the person of big believes and
dreams to rule the whole world through own perceptions. The Nazi party got established in 1925
to hold the power and gain votes in the election. The main purpose of the Hitler is to not Crete
relations with people but to get the power to be the boss and rule the world. The aggression
policy of Hitler shows that he has the plan to conquer the plan for Lebensraum in Poland and the
Soviet Union through Nazi rise to power. His goal was to eradicate the unnecessary people from
the German who populate the area which causes trouble for the Hitler. He decided to enslaved
the inferior people and eradicate all the Jews from the German Territory. The German foreign
policy had prepared for the World War II to eliminate the Military Restrictions and reverse the
territorial losses of the treaty of Versailles and make advanced plans to build the new alliances.
The reason of World War II had started for many causes and there were many reasons which
impacted on the globe (von Bernstorff, 2018). The Hitler has planned to invade the neighbouring
country Poland without any prior information and this becomes the initial start of the Word War
II. Hitler was not holding his aggression secretly but rather he took so many practices which
leads to result in the war. It was started since Hitler got the power in 1933. everything he did to
revise the post war, treaty in Versailles, regain hegemony in Europe.

Everything was done for the purpose of creating a large scale economy which will make
the country a vast distinct place for the war in Europe. In the pursuit of the idealogical conflicts
and power in the nation, there are many skills which was present in the Hitler that made him in
the demand. He was the person who do not settle for the less and re-joins the party only when he
was given full authority and control. Hitler had the dictatorial power after being the chancellor
for the Nazi party which was become the largest party in Germany who has received 37% votes.
There were many caused which begins the world war II between the Germany, France and
Poland. With the view of world war I, the major cases was came through the treaty of Versailles,
economic depression, rise in military in the Germany and Japan. Also, the failure in the league of
the nations (Gagliarducci, and et.al 2020). Germany was become the country who need to sign
the agreement to pay the reparations. Also, the country will lost the territory and also looses the
right from having the large military. The need for world war is become a necessary to regain the
economic share in the Germany. As in the late 1920s, the economic was shrinking, inflation and
unemployment rises, business got shut and many more impact on the economy. Therefore, the
Hitler was become the leader by aiming to regain the German wealth and power back.
By doing so, the Hitler has played many games and made plans to enter into other
countries. He called the German troops to enter into France, Britain and Austria and these
countries was not prepared for the war. It has believed that the Germans are the superiors who
have the power and right duty to win the race of battle. Especially, during the last war, it has
described by the Hitler that the superiority is essential which has gave refiled from the inferiority
that was caused by the defect. All this was look forward for the bigger war which was termed as
the war for supremacy. It was lines by the Hitler that Today Germany belongs to us, tomorrow
the whole world. The soviet intervention has begins in which the Germany attacked on Poland on
September 1 1939. the Nazi has set the goal to attack the Germany of soviet union in 1941. The
reason is to eradicate the Jews from Europe which will lead to provide the experience of the
territorial and to eradicate the economic giants (Adamthwaite, 2021). Therefore, the people have
lost the faith in the democratic country which creates many regimes, responsibilities and political
interferences. So the leader of Nazi party has shown his aggression and dominated policies and
ideologies of Antisemitism, unification of all Germans. As the initial level, the aggressive
decisions of the Hitler has met with only the ineffectual policies of appeasement from the major
parts of the world. The legacy of the nations was restless of the country mainly China and

Ethiopia. The legecy was the only decisive proximate event was 1938. Hitler has made his words
that, it will be his final territorial claim and then he will be able to rule the country with utmost
free trade, business and democratic country. It means that, Hitler refused to interference again in
the counties position but after the attack on the Poland it was realised that the appeasement was
not be good for guaranteed. The countries like Britain and France reject the offers which seems
diplomatic efforts to form a military alliance with the Soviet Union which deals in the pact of
1939. this alliance has led to the setting of Axis powers. The Hitler even came in more
aggression which shows that, he will be going to take another action to provoke the countries and
create a situation of War. Therefore, at maximum extent, there is rise in the situation of conflicts
and battle due to the diplomatic behaviour of Nazi leaders and members. All were prepared to
eventually rule on the world in which many plans and alliances had formed.
The Nazi aggression policy was not the only one to cause the situation of world war II
but it has made a huge contribution into it (De Jong, and Geyl, 2019). The international
agreement set in the treaty of Versailles in which the agreement has perused aggressive
expression a major war in the European. It has analysed that, the aggression policy has a role in
the outbreak of World War II. Apart from this, the failure, risk and economic crises are the other
reasons. So the France and Britain becomes the weak countries in front of German's aggression
due to the impact of first world war(Fischer, and Fletcher, 2019). The condition of Germany
become harsh due to this aggression policy. This policy has develop Hitler's confidence due to
which his actions were become more powerful and bold. He become confident in what he did
with other countries as the world war sets conflicts and huge defence in the military and other
nations. The support of Soviet Union has also created positive insight for the Nazis. This has
educed the chances for the uncertain challenges from the other countries and Second World War
II has precessing from the Germany. The Hitler become free from others power and gain
satisfaction that he would be the next ruler of the country. The French was the district which
faces the real action of the Hitler and seems that Poland will be offered to them. With the one
small land operation which sets that in the whole western Europe, it has seen that the Germany
has faced many interventions which reflects that the war has started due to the German invasion
of France and Britain which was the outcome of world war I (Murray, 2021). It has identified
that the Hitler has extendedly become a leader of Nazi party which become his desire and goal to
rule the whole world and be the rule make not the taker. The Hitler achieved success by getting a

free hand in with the Stalin, Finland, Estonia, eastern Poland, eastern Romania. Adolf Hitler
main goal is to obtain lebensruam he conquered Poland due to this (Fennell, 2019). The
unemployment relief act in 1933. This law help to reduce the unemployment and open an new
factor for creating jobs . In 1935 the Nazi also passed an law in which every citizen has to apply
for army. In order to get selected in the individual has to wear military uniform, lives in camps,
the individual only receive pocket money no wages and the follow military code of conduct, the
physical exercises is so tough in forests and digging ditches. These all are necessary for every
people there is no other job in that employment scheme. Only job is to be in army it is like a hell
for the citizens of the Germany. The policy never benefited the citizen of Germany there is not
other option to do the job. This domination has helped Hitler to get more soldiers in his army
(Hirsch, 2020). In order to conquer the world. The only motive is war with rest of world and to
become the supreme leader and ruler of the world. This policy strengthens the army by not
spending money to the benefits of the citizen. one of the causes of second world war is
Germany's foreign policy. Although is not the only reason but it plays very important role in
world war second. The foreign policy was so aggressive and due the reason major issues took
place. The breaking of the international agreement in the Treaty of Versailles. The major causes
were aggressive actions taken there after. One another reason behind the war was the aftermath
of the First World War. The temporary economic recovery was being seen in 1924-1929.
Afterwards, the real scenario come in and then led to disillusionment. This was a major reason
and the extremist parties caused various problems ( Koehler, 2018).
CONCLUSION
The report has concluded that the World Ware II has caused to the major extent of seeing
the aggression of Nazi party to rule the Germany. It was with the contribution of Nazi aggression
in the undertaking the France and Britain by attacking on the Poland. Therefore, the report has
shown that , there are many other causes for the happening of World War II. It was made the
whole country impossible to resist and people tend to loose the trust on it. It has analysed that the
aggression policy has made the Hitler more confident to encourage its slavery.
