Question

Explain how the outcome of World War I helped cause World War II. *

Answer 1

WWI ended with Germany signing the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was forced to sign this treaty, because if they did not sign the treaty, then they would be attacked. There was essentially no compromising. Germany joining the war brought several other countries into the war, and made it into a full World War.

Answer 2

The First World War ended in a complete victory and an unstable peace. Post-war Germany, disarmed and humiliated, became a weak and short-lived republic. ... The war left the principal powers divided from one another, even at the Versailles treaty negotiations – vengeful toward old enemies and distrustful of old friends.
