The world wide economic depression of the 1930's caused nations to form strict economic "blocs" in order to protect their industries and horde important raw materials. Unfortunately, Nations like Japan and Germany had to import vital resources like oil and rubber from places which were outside their sphere of influence; and often hostile towards them for ideological reasons. Furthermore, trade barriers made many resources just to expensive to import even if exporter nations were willing. The solution to this problem for Japan and Germany was to physically gain control through military conquest, the resources they needed to fuel their economies.

the European Union was born based on the idea that onlycomplete economic integration and unity would bring a true and lasting peace to the continent.

The main connection between the 2 world wars, is that few issues were settled by the Treaty of Versailles; in fact, the terrible economic penalties against the losers and division of countries were the main causes of World War II. Fran Logan
