The Second World War,
​c. 1929-1945 CE

Picture
During this second great war, the combatants engaged in wholesale destruction of cities, deliberate attacks on civilians, and the systematic destruction of their enemies’ industrial complexes.

The Second World War,

c. 1929-1945 CE

The newly established, postwar democracies in central and eastern Europe were too weak to provide stability either internally or in the European state system, especially during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The League of Nations, established after the war to employ collective security in the interests of peace, could not manage the international tensions unleashed by World War I. The breakdown of the settlement led to World War II, a conflict even more violent than World War I.
 
In Italy and Germany, charismatic leaders led fascist movements to power, seizing control of the post–World War I governments. Fascism promised to solve economic problems through state direction, although not ownership, of production. The movements also promised to counteract the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles by rearming the military and by territorial expansion. The efforts of fascist governments to revise the Treaty of Versailles led to the most violent and destructive war in human history, World War II—a conflict between democracies, temporarily allied with communist Russia, and fascist states. 
 
During this second great war, the combatants engaged in wholesale destruction of cities, deliberate attacks on civilians, and the systematic destruction of their enemies’ industrial complexes. The Nazi government in Germany undertook the annihilation of Jews from the whole continent (the Holocaust), as well as the murder of other targeted groups of Europeans.

At the end of this conflict, fascist forces had been defeated, Europe was devastated, and the international diplomatic situation developed into a conflict between the capitalistic democracies and the centrally directed communist states. The economic and political devastation left a
power vacuum that facilitated the Cold War division of Europe.

Capitalist and Democratic Failures

Objective: Explain the causes and effects of the global economic crisis in the 1920s and 1930s.
Picture

Capitalism

Picture
Picture
The American Dawes Plan and Young Plan stabilized the failing German economy and ushered in a brief period of prosperity during the Weimar Golden Age until the U.S. stock market crash in 1929.  The Nazis, of course, were opposed to Dawes Plan and any foreign influence in Germany.
  • The Great Depression, caused by weaknesses in international trade and monetary theories and practices, undermined Western European democracies and fomented radical political responses throughout Europe.

  • World War I debt, nationalistic tariff policies, overproduction, depreciated currencies, disrupted trade patterns, and speculation created weaknesses in economies worldwide.

  • Dependence on post-World War I American investment capital led to financial collapse when, following the 1929 stock market crash, the United States cut off capital flows to Europe.

  • Despite attempts to rethink economic theories and policies and forge political alliances, Western democracies failed to overcome the Great Depression and were weakened by extremist movements.
    ​
  • After failures to establish functioning democracies, authoritarian dictatorships took power in central and eastern Europe during the interwar period.

French prime minister Léon Blum, a Jew, led the anti-fascist left-wing Popular Front coalition of liberals, socialists, and communists. Workers obtained major new rights and worker wages rose 48%. However, these income gains were offset by 46% inflation and lingering high unemployment. During World War II, Blum was imprisoned at Buchenwald concentration camp.

A Soviet Cult of Personality ​celebrated Joseph Stalin, depicted here in the Socialist Realist style.
  • After Lenin’s death, Stalin undertook a centralized program of rapid economic modernization, often with severe repercussions for the population.
    ​
  • Stalin’s economic modernization of the Soviet Union came at a high price, including the liquidation of the kulaks (the land-owning peasantry) and other perceived enemies of the state, devastating famine in the Ukraine, purges of political rivals, and, ultimately, the creation of an oppressive political system.

​​Valley of the Fallen, Madrid
Picture
  • Franco’s alliance with Italian and German fascists in the Spanish Civil War—in which the Western democracies did not intervene—represented a testing ground for World War II and resulted in authoritarian rule in Spain from 1936 to the mid-1970s. 
    ​
  • French and British fears of another war, American isolationism, and deep distrust between Western democratic, capitalist nations and the authoritarian, communist Soviet Union allowed fascist states to rearm and expand their territory.

  • In the interwar period, fascism, extreme nationalism, racist ideologies, and the failure of appeasement resulted in the catastrophe of World War II, presenting a grave challenge to European civilization.

Picture
The German remilitarization of Rhineland in 1936 was the first major violation of the Treaty of Versailles in the lead-up to World War II.
Picture
The Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, signed in August 1939, caught the world by surprise given the militant rhetoric each power had toward the other.  Just days later, Germany and the USSR invaded Poland and the Second World War began.
Totalitarianism

The Second World War

Objectives:
  1. Explain how technology and innovation affected the course of World War II and the 20th century.
  2. Explain how and why cultural and national identities were affected by war and the rise of fascist/totalitarian powers in the period from 1914 to the present.
Picture
Picture
  • Germany’s Blitzkrieg warfare in Europe, combined with Japan’s attacks in Asia and the Pacific, brought the Axis powers early victories.

  • American and British industrial, scientific, and technological power, cooperative military efforts under the strong leadership of individuals such as Winston Churchill, the resistance of civilians, and the all-out military commitment of the USSR contributed critically to the Allied victories.

  • Military technologies made possible industrialized warfare, genocide, nuclear proliferation, and the risk of global nuclear war.
    ​
  • During the world wars, women became increasingly involved in military and political mobilization, as well as in economic production.

  • Fueled by racism and anti-Semitism, Nazi Germany—with the cooperation of some of the other Axis powers and collaborationist governments—sought to establish a “new racial order” in Europe, which culminated with the Holocaust.
    ​
  • World War II decimated a generation of Russian and German men; virtually destroyed European Jewry; resulted in the murder of millions in other groups targeted by the Nazis including Roma, homosexuals, people with disabilities, and others; forced large-scale migrations; and undermined prewar class hierarchies.

From February 13-15, 1945, 800 Allied bombers dropped 2,700 tons of explosives and incendiaries on Dresden, Germany, a major rail and road hub. Dresden’s destruction was intended to terrorize the civilian population and clog all transportation routes with throngs of refugees. An estimated 22,700 to 25,000 were killed. The U.S. bombing of Tokyo, Japan in March 1945 destroyed 16 square miles of the city and killed approximately 100,000 people in the single most destructive bombing raid in human history.
In April 1945, Soviet forces captured Berlin and met American and British forces along the Elbe River. On May 8, Germany surrendered and the deadliest conflict in history was over.
