Hitler was to blame as he used his party and his political skills to manipulate the Germans living then in the Weimar Government to support him. Due to problems caused by the Weimar Government, the Germans whom were sick of this resorted to listening the claims of recovery and victory by Hitler's Nazi Party. This huge support enabled Hitler to eventually take control of Germany and in turn used his skills to take land from countries. Side: Yes, I agree

Remilitarisation of Rhineland. Hitler's confidence and his popularity amongst the German people also increased through the German's remilitarisation of the Rhineland. Hitler had often complainted about the permament demilitarisation of the Rhineland ordered by the TOV. This demilitarisation had also been accepted by the Weimar Republic under the Locarno Treaties in 1925. Hitler ordered his troops to cross the Hohenzollern Bridge and remilitarise the Rhineland. He used the Franco-Soviet Alliances as an excuse ,saying that Germany was now under threat from France and the Soviet Union and should be allowed to defend its frontiers Side: Yes, I agree

Even though there were other factors that led to the war, Hitler was THE MAIN REASON that war broke out. It was clearly his ambition and greed which led to war. He attacked and took over countries that he had no right to take over, e.g. Czechoslovakia and Poland. The LON was ineffective, but it did try to stop him. The purpose of appeasement by England and France was also an attempt to get him to stop. the whole world was trying to stop Hitler but his greed led to the war in the end. Side: Yes, I agree

Germany withdraw from the LON. The Nazi began to take systemati steps abloish the TOV when they came to power. Hitler proposed that the French should disarm to the level of armaments that the TOV allowed Germany.France naturally objected.Hence Hitler used this chance to withdraw from LON. Side: Yes, I agree

Hitler's bottomless thirst for power, his war on people he deemed inferior, and his manipulative nature resulted in World War ii. He invaded several countries, without any real provocation, and since he felt as if he was the greatest gift to the world, he tried to take over. Duh. Side: Yes, I agree

In the Austrian case, Hitler was simply trying to regain what he lost in the Treaty of Versailles. Austria and Germany had a long history of being close and their cultures and people were also very close. Many of the Austrians WANTED to unite with Germany (seen in the plebiscite - vote - that the Nazis held in which 99% wanted to join Germany). Hence, Hitler was not trying to cause war. He was just trying to reunite German-speaking people who wanted to be together. Side: No, I disagree

i disagree if you were to say it is fully hitler fault. firstly it is because of the ineffectivness of the LON therefore causing each countries to do wht at they want or desire. secondly, hitler is trying to conquer more territories to increase their army, resources and land so to become more powerful. at this point, hitler still has no blame because he is also like other leaders in other countries, every leader desire lands so if he is doing what others are desiring he has no fault in causing the start of the world war Side: No, I disagree

lastly, the two countries did not stop GERMANY from conquering more lands and becoming more and more powerful. the mistake of gaining and letting germany have time to build on their arms and airforce cause GERMANY to take the advantage to grow stronger. therefore it is partially Germany fault not FULLY Side: No, I disagree

I disagree with your view. Even though Germany was angered by the TOV, Germany had no right to overturn a treaty which had been agreed on by the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY (the world). Plus, it's not true that Germany just wanted to 'get back what they lost'. Clearly, Hitler was greedier than that. He invaded Czechoslovakia, which was not part of Germany's original territory. He also invaded Poland. Side: Yes, I agree

Hitler should not be blame for WWII because he want to get back everything from TOV which Germany have lost. It is because he finds TOV unfair and they should not be fully blame for WWI as others countries also contributed to WWI. This is one of the reason that Hitler want to get everything Germany had lost from TOV. Side: No, I disagree

I disagree that hitler was fully to blame for WW2.Firstly LON did not stop germany from conquering Rhineland and Czekslovkia because LON is weak and also they cant be bothered to care about LON cause they only care about their own country.i say this because the LON was not able to stop France from invading africa instead ,they gave in to them .Therefore Germany took this advantage to rise and conquer other country . :D Side: No, I disagree

i disagree because it is partially the LON fault because of the terms. because if the terms were not harsh GERMANY army will not be reduced and be paying heavy reparations. this causes their economy to drop drastically. therefore i don think germany should be FULLY BLAME. MOREOVER, germany start a war only to conquer more lands and get BACK WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE BEGININNG. Side: No, I disagree

I disagree. Britain & France's hatred of communism ruled over stopping Hitler. This led them to decline alliance with Russia, allowing the Nazi-Soviet pact to from. This,then, led to Hitler being able to get half of Poland and not be afraid of Russia gor awhile. Side: No, I disagree
Hitler should not be fully blame because League of Nations contributed to WWII because They failed to disarm other country. British and France did not feel safe from Germany so they refused to disarm and this impacted other countries. Slowly, more and more European Countries began to rearm and eventually this will slowly lead to WWII Side: No, I disagree

Ich fühle, dass Hitler war nicht der Grund, um dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als er nach Deutschland Stolz und Stärke nach der Demütigung der TOV wiederherstellen wollte. Daher hatte er die ganze Zeit eine massive Aufrüstung aufzubauen deutschen Verteidigung geplant. Side: No, I disagree

i think the cause of ww2 is the whole of europe's fault germany cannot ```1be fully blame. after what happen in ww1 europe supposed to learn from their mistakes and be repentant. but the whole of europe didnt try their best to maintain peace like making lon strong. not helping each other Side: No, I disagree

Hitler should not be fully blame because League of Nations contributed to WWII because they fail to curb Italian aggression in Abyssinia. It is because Benito Mussolini wanted to increase Italian Influence in Abyssinia and made plans to invade it. The Emperor of Abyssinia asked the LEague of Nations for help. The League members had a long debate before deciding that there would be a limited economice embargo against Italy. But this was not fully Implemented as no country wanted a war with Italy and there were also fears that any embargo would also affect their own economics. This shows the ineffective and League is not strong enough to protect countries from attacks by its members Side: No, I disagree

I disagree because the LON was ineffective. Failed to prevent alliance between Italy and Germany. During the Abyssinian Crisis, Mussolini invaded Abyssinian in 1935. Britain and France did not want to make an enemy out of Mussolini. Due to the lon's failure to make meaningful sanctions Itly took over Abyssinian and made Hitler and Mussolini even bolder in their ambitions. As hitler was allies with mussolini, he gained more power. This is due to the mistake of france and britain. thus showing that the lon was ineffective. Hitler used the Franco-Soviet Alliance to allow his troops to man into the rhineland. Side: No, I disagree

Nah, that's really dumb. He should be blamed because of his very violent foreign policies about taking over countries for resources. Imagine you were a country, and another country invades yours, would you feel good? I mean put yourself in the shoes of the people that has Hitler has invaded. Would you still not blame Hitler? Side: Yes, I agree
