Answer:
The correct option is D
Step-by-step explanation:
The causes of World War II vary depending on the time range applied. In the long term, the causes are found in the conditions that existed before the First World War, antecedents that are seen as a preamble to both world wars. Supporters of this point of view, based on long-term conditions, paraphrase Carl von Clausewitz by saying: "World War II was the continuation of World War I"; World wars were expected even before the coming to power of Mussolini, Hitler and the Japanese invasion of China. Among the most short-term causes of the Second World War can be mentioned the rise of Italian fascism in the 1920s, Japanese militarism and its invasions of China in the 1930s and especially the seizure of political power by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany in 1933, followed by an aggressive foreign policy. The trigger of the conflict was the declaration of war of the United Kingdom and France to the Nazi Germany the 3 of September of 1939, after the German invasion of Poland of the day 1 of September of that year.
In the interwar period a strong revenge spirit had developed in Germany after the imposition of the Treaty of Versailles, which meant the acceptance of the defeat of the country in the First World War. The abusive terms of the treaty, which included the demilitarization of the Rhineland, the prohibition of unification with Austria or the Sudetenland, the loss of German-speaking territories such as Danzig, areas under historical control of the Kingdom of Prussia or Eupen-Malmedy, limitations on the army (Reichswehr), which was reduced to a symbolic military force and the clause that made Germany responsible for the war and with it the obligation to pay heavy tributes in the form of war reparations plunged the German nation, especially after the Great Depression . To this was added the instability of the political system of the Weimar Republic, since many political sectors rejected its legitimacy. Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933 was made possible by the fact that the Nazi movement was able to capitalize on the grievances of German society and based on their ideology began their ambitious demands that included pan-Germanism, the acquisition of "living space" or lebensraum through the conquest of eastern European territories and the elimination of the German and international communist movement.
