The beginning of the Second world war: the main causes

The Most ambitious, bloody and terrible war in human history called the Second world war, began not on 1 September 1939, the day when Nazi Germany attacked Poland. The beginning of the Second world war was inevitable since the end of the 1918 war, which led to the redistribution of almost all of Europe. Immediately after the signing of all contracts to redraw each of the countries, which took away part of the territory, started a small war. While it was fought in the minds and conversations of those who never returned from the front victorious. They again and again went through the events of those days, looking for reasons for the defeat and passed the bitterness of loss of his younger children.

It is this cherished by decades of hatred of the enemy, the offense of harassment of the new owners of the towns and villages, the need to adapt to different and unusual life and made possible the beginning of the Second world war. But all these reasons to resume the war were in the field of psychology. There was also real historical background that led to the outbreak of hostilities, which involved virtually the entire globe.

Official reasons for the outbreak of the Second world war

According to historical research, scientists have isolated the following reasons:

• Territorial disputes resulting from the division of Europe Britain, France and allied countries. After the collapse of the Russian Empire as a result of withdrawing from military action and what happened in it revolution, as well as due to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, on the world map appeared 9 new States. Their boundaries were not yet clearly defined, and in many cases disputes were fought literally for every inch of ground. In addition, countries that have lost of their territories, sought to return them, but the winners, joined their new land, hardly was ready to part with them. The long history of Europe didn't know the best way to solve any, including territorial disputes, in addition to the fighting, and the beginning of the Second world war Has become inevitable;
• Kolonialne disputes. Worth mentioning Here not only that the losing countries lost their colonies, providing Treasury constant inflow of funds, of course, dreamed about their return, but that the colonies growing within the liberation movement. Tired to be under the yoke of those or other colonizers, the inhabitants sought to rid of any subordination, and, in many cases, this also inevitably led to the emergence of armed clashes;
• The rivalry of the leading powers. it is Difficult to prevent erased from the world history of Germany after their defeat, wanted to take revenge. Devoid of the ability to have an army (except the volunteer, the number of which could not exceed 100 thousand soldiers with light weapons), Germany, accustomed to the role of one of the world's leading empires, could not come to terms with the loss of his domination. The beginning of the world in this aspect was only a matter of time;
• Dictatorships. a Sharp increase in the second third of the twentieth century created the preconditions for the outbreak of violent conflicts. Paying great attention to the development of the army and armament, first as a possible means of suppressing domestic unrest, and then as a way of conquest of new lands, European and Oriental dictators by all means closer to the beginning of the Second world war;
• Existence of the Soviet Union. the role of the new socialist state arising on the ruins of the Russian Empire as a stimulus for the United States and Europe cannot be overemphasized. The rapid development of the Communist movement in a number of capitalist powers against the background of the existence of such a clear example of victorious socialism could not inspire fear, and the attempt to erase the USSR from the face of the earth would be made inevitably.
