How were the conditions in Post-ww1?
After the defeat of the central powers in WW1 the League of Nations was created in order to encourage the nations to discuss their way out of their differencies avoiding another such global conflict,althoughit never did anything to prevent the Second World War.The United States isolated itself from the world affairs after their success in the war in order to protect their national security.The influence of the British Empire in the world stage started to diminish.The Soviet Union emerged from the remains of the Russian Empire adopting communism as their official socioeconomic system.The Ottoman Empire was dissolved and the Republic of Turkey took its place as its successor.The Austrohungarian Empire was also dissolved into smaller states in central and eastern Europe.The most intersting case is Germany.After their defeat in the war they were forced to pay heavy war reparations which caused mounting inflation and a major decrease in the standard of living.That,combined with the Great Depression that hit the world after the Wall Street crash caused the withdrawal of american capital from the country resulted in a huge increase in unemploynment.And there comes Adolf Hitler who promises to rid the people of the Allied opression and help ensure the dominance of the Master Race.So in 1933 he is elected Chancellor of the Weimar Republic renaming it the Third Reich(The Third Empire),abolishing democracy,centralizing all state power in his hands and ''removes'' anyone perceived as a threat to the rule of the Nazi Party.He creates the Luftwaffe,a direct violation of the Treaty of Versallies,and begins a massive rearmament campaign ending mass unemploynment while also reducing wages by 1/3.Because of Germany's poor ground in raw materials Hiler establishes close economic ties with the USSR(which has abundant natural resources) in exchange for military and civilian technology.This prosperity though would not last for long as Hitler starts making territorial demands in central Europe,testing the nerves of the Allies,and making secret agreements with the USSR on how to share the territiries of central and eastern europe.But in order for Germany to support its economic burst war is necessary and Hitler realizes he needs to strike now that the Allies are unprepared after he is sure that the Soviet Union will not fight against Germany in the war to come.And last but not least,in Asia,Imprerial Japan's hunger for power grows with the annexation of the korean peninsula and the conquest of Manchuria,until it declares war on China and Southeast Asia.
