In 1937 the ‘Anti-Comintern Pact’ was concluded between Italy and Germany. The alliance of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito threatened other European nations. In 1937, the ‘Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis’ was concluded between Italy, Germany and Japan. The ‘Rome-Berlin Pact’ was signed between Italy and Germany in 1936. After the occupation of Abyssinia by Italy, her relationship increased with Germany. It paved the way for the outbreak of the Second World War.Īfter the failure of the process of disarmament attempts were started among the dictators for the formation of military alliances. Germany, Italy, England and France began to increase their arms. Inspite of disarmament, the European nations started the process of armament. But in course of time, no one paid any heed to it. In the covenant of the League, it was advised that the members should reduce their armaments to the lowest point. The failure of the League was another cause for the outbreak of the Second World War.Īfter the First World War in the Paris Peace Conference, emphasis was laid on disarmament. Due to the lack of power, the League utterly failed in its aim. At first the United States of America joined it. Germany, Japan and Italy left its membership one after another. When Hitler occupied Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938, the League also remained silent. It also remained silent when Italy occupied Albania. When Mussolini attacked Ethiopia in 1936, it could not take any effective step. It remained silent when Japan occupied Manchuria. The League utterly failed to secure peace and order after the First World War and between the Second World War. The League of Nations was founded in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, according to the Fourteen Points of Woodro Wilson. His alliance with Hitler and Mussolini created a volcanic situation which paved the way for the outbreak of the World War II. The imperialist policy of Japan increased largely under its Emperor Hirohito.

Then it captured one after another city of China. In 1931 Japan attacked and occupied Manchuria. Its main aim was to extend its empire and to acquire several colonies. After the First World War, Japan tried to emerge as an important and powerful nation. The Emergence of Japan in the Far East was another cause of the Second World War. The rise of Hitler was the chief cause of the Second World War. In 1936, he occupied the Rhine land and in 1938, he occupied Austria and annexed them to Germany.

He reestablished the German army in 1935 and increased the number of its soldiers to 800,000. In his autobiography ‘Mein Kamf’, he has discussed about this.Īs the dictator of Germany, Hitler’s activities were violating the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles. By his speech he inspired the people of Germany and promised them to return back the lost glory of Germany. He established the ‘Nazi Party’ and accepted the ‘Symbol of Swostik’. At this time, Adolf Hitler rose as the Saviour of Germany. After the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was crippled politically and economically and there was public unrest and unemployment.
