Germany was the country that began World War Two. They had problems in their country, and with other countries. Their main causes for World War Two were the Treaty of Versailles, and political instability within the country.
The Treaty of Versailles was one of the main reasons that Germany started World War Two. After World War One ended, a treaty had to be signed that dealt with how Germany should be taken care of. This treaty was known as the Treaty of Versailles because it took place in Versailles, France. The major three countries that made the decisions on the terms of the treaty were France, the United States, and Britain. The major terms of the Treaty of Versailles were that Germany must give up or destroy all of its weapons, make payments to countries for the damages they caused during the war, give up all land gained during the war, Germany's army must not exceed 100 000 soldiers, and their naval forces had to be reduced. This treaty greatly affected the people of Germany. They felt humiliated by this treaty. Because of all the things they had to do, and had to give up, Germany was having a very difficult time recovering after the war. The German military was affected by this treaty because they had limitations on the amount of soldiers they could have, and the fact that they were not allowed to have any submarines, aircraft, or heavy weaponry. Also, Germany had to admit that they were totally to blame for World War One, and for all the damages and losses of the war. This is known as the War Guilt Clause.
Another reason that Germany started World War Two was because there was political instability within the country. The country faced great economic problems. Germany borrowed large sums of money during World War One to help them out. Because of this, they owed a large amount of money to other countries. Unfortunately, Germany's businesses and industries weren't expanding. They were in debt.
