In my essay I will discuss how far it is true that World War II was essentially the result of Hitler’s aggressive policies. In my essay I will try to examine each situation that arose between Hitler’s rise to power and the outbreak of war, analyze it and give evidence for the argument that Hitler’s aggressive policies was result of World War II and the evidence against that view.

Most historians agree that the responsibility for the outbreak of war in 1939 rests on Hitler aggressive policies. The historical debate about the origins of the World War II began in earnest as the last shots were fired and allied soldiers freed the few remaining concentration camp victims. Hitler and his fellow Nazis were found guilty of causing the war.

Some historians believe that Hitler was the prime mover in the field of foreign policy, and that he was responsible for all the critical decisions “It was he who decided on the alliance with the Soviets and who ordered the attacks upon Poland and France. He did so often in the teeth of opposition from his diplomats and generals and his successes inc

Hitler undertook the war against Russia for many reasons- some ideological, some strategic-but economic factors may be judged to have predominated. Hitler feared the industrial might of the Soviet Union and coveted its agricultural and natural resources.

Hitler’s next move was to change the situation in Europe dramatically. He ordered the invasion of the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939. Up until this time Hitler had only been concerned about German speaking areas of Europe. This aggression showed Hitler’s true aims and his methods of execution. This situation was created by Hitler but the allies policy of appeasement which was buying them time was encouraging Hitler’s advance. The allies saw this as an act of aggression and realized that their policy of appeasement was not working. They decided to stop Hitler’s next advance. This though did not help Czechoslovakia, which remained under German control.

When Hitler came to power one of his first steps was to increase German’s army. He knew that German rearmament would cause big problems for Germany therefore he started it secretly. But later the situation completely changed. Britain signed a naval agreement with Hitler. Rearmament alarmed the French feeling insecure, because Germany would be able to avoid the Maginot line and invade France via Belgium. France remained passive without Britain’s support. Britain thought that a strong Germany would be a good buffer against Communism. I think that it was a very big mistake because they allowed Hitler to arm. And certainly Hitler has not missed such case and began to arm very seriously. Hitler used his newfound arms to support Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Hitler used the Spanish civil war as a testing ground for his idea of blitzkrieg. He also tested his very strong air force using them to bomb the republican city of Guernica.
