INTRODUCTION
WW2 was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 – 1945 and involved several countries
and nations ready to fight alongside their allies. The time period between WW1 and WW2
was known as the interwar period and lasted for about 20 years. It was filled with many
different events that all had the purpose to either prevent another war or cause another war.
WW2 was caused by a numerous number of events that took place during the interwar period
such as, the treaty of Versailles, fascism, Nazi party and the failure of appeasement. The
treaty of Versailles was far too harsh on Germany and was built on rules designed to prevent

appeasement also played large roles in causing another world war.
