How was World War 1 cause for World War 2?

After World War I ended, the four big countries of the Allies (Great Britain, United States, Italy, and France) sat down and discussed. They came up with the terms for the Treaty of Versailles. Germany thought the Treaty would essentially be based on Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points Speech, which essentially told the other countries to leave Germany alone after the war. However, David Lloyd George (prime minister of Great Britain), George's Clemenceau (prime minister of France), and Vittorio Orlando (prime minister of Italy) wanted Germany to pay for the damage they had caused to the Allies. They demanded reparations, which meant that Germany would have to pay a large sum of money to the Allies (they finished paying it back in 2010). They also confiscated Germany's colonies, which prevented Germany from paying the money back. Finally, the Treaty of Versailles contained the War-Guilt Clause, which blamed the entire war solely on Germany. Germans were outraged by these punishments, but the Allies threatened to continue the war if Germany did not sign the Treaty of Versailles, so they had to sign. Later, Hitler took advantage of the resentment that Germans felt because of the provisions in the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty also reduced Germany's military to 10,000 men in the army, but Hitler remilitarized Germany.


What did the German leaders believe after World War 1?

They believed they hadn't lost the war on the front (although the Germans had in actual fact been pushed back and retreated on the Western front for months in 1918) but they claimed to have been "stabbed in the back" by Socialist-induced navy mutinies and strikes all over Germany. The bottom line however was that Germany by 1918 simply lacked the manpower and resources to continue the war any longer, let alone win it.


What was the major goal of the french foreign policy after World War 1?

Before WWI Germany made sure that it kept good relations with all the major European nations other then France to make sure it had no allies. But after Bismark was no longer in control of Germany, Germany started to threaten its neighbors. For example, the Germans started building a navy, which threatened Britain. Because of Germany's growing power France was able to make an alliance with Russia and later England. But After WWI Russia became communist and Britain went off to do British things leaving France alone again so France allied with Czechoslovakia and Poland but both where quickly taken by the Germans
