Second World War

                                   SECOND WORLD WAR

                          

CAUSES:

·         Dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles:

The Treaty of Versailles by which the First World War came to an end, created more problems than it solved. The treaty demanded annexation of German territories and the creation of many States. This sowed the seeds of bitterness and conflict. In fact, this treaty was based on the spirit of revenge and Germany was forced to sign it. All German colonies were forcibly taken away from her and she was divided into two parts for the benefit of Poland. She was burdened with huge war indemnity which she could never pay and her military power was reduced. This humiliation gave rise to the spirit of revenge and Germany started to look for an opportunity to do away with the harsh treaty. But this wasn’t possible without an aggressive policy and armaments. Hence, the war became inevitable.

·         Rise of Fascism and Nazism:

The rise of extreme nationalism in Germany and Italy in the form of Nazism and Fascism, respectively contributed to the causes of the Second World War. Italy wanted to revive the glory of the Old Roman Empire. She joined the Anti-Comintern Pact in 1937 and formed a ten years Alliance with Germany (Pact of Steel) to strengthen her position. Italy opposed the Treaty of Versailles and demonstrated her imperialistic designs by attacking Abyssinia. The League of Nations failed to take any action which exhibited the weakness of the League.

In Germany Hitler wanted to re-establish the prestige of Germany in the international field. He flouted the military clauses of the Versailles Treaty and declared re-armament. In 1938, he annexed Austria and dismembered Czechoslovakia. Thus, Mussolini and Hitler drove the world towards another war.

·         Policy of Appeasement:

          Appeasement refers to the policy of conciliating an aggressive power at the expense of some other country. It meant accepting the hostile demands of an aggressive nation to gain peace. Britain and France followed the policy of appeasement towards dictatorial countries like Germany and Italy because they felt that the dictators had a real cause for their grievance given to the Treaty of Versailles. So if their grievances were removed they would not disturb world peace. Further they wanted to check the rising tide of Russian Bolshevism. Therefore they allowed Germany to re-arm, remilitarise Rhineland, and capture Austria and Czechoslovakia. So without this unintended green signal Fascism and Nazism would not have survived for long to cause World War II.

·         Japanese Invasion of China:

Japanese policy of expansion was another serious cause of the Second World War. She was determined to dominate the Far East. In 1931, Japan intervened in Manchuria and, in spite of League’s opposition, occupied it set up a government there. Japan also started an undeclared war with China in 1931. China appealed to the League of Nations for help but they turned a deaf ear. Japan joined the Alliance of Germany to form the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Alliance. In 1933, Japan left the League of nations and started occupying British and American properties in China. Britain and France followed the policy of appeasement, thinking that Japan can be used to weaken China.

·         Failure of The League of Nations:

The League of Nations was created after the First World War to prevent future wars. However, it failed in its main objective. It suffered an early blow when the USA didn’t join it. Even those who joined it were not interested in the principles of collective security.

To know more see: Failure of the League of Nations

·         Hitler’s Invasion of Poland:

Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939 for the following reasons:

1.       By the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was divided into two in order to give Poland a land route to sea (see: Danzig Corridor) and the Port Of Danzig was also given to Poland. Germany wanted to regain these lost territories.

2.       The city of Danzig was inhabited by many Germans and by occupying Danzig Corridor; Germany could connect with East Prussia.

    3.   Germany signed a Non-Aggression Pact (see: The Molotov- Ribbentrop Pact) with Russia in 1939 which contained secret protocols for dividing Poland between the two. Poland was accused of committing atrocities against the Germans living there. 

On September 1, 1939, the German armies marched into Poland. France and Britain gave an ultimatum to Germany. In reply, Germany attacked France. On September 3, Britain and France declared War on Germany and began the Second World War. The German armies completed the invasion of Poland in less than 3 weeks to ensure that no aid reached Poland. In spite of the declaration of the War there was little actual fighting from September 1939 to April 1940 on the Western Front and hence this period of the war remained dormant.

THE WAR (Main events only)

To know in detail see: The Second World War

Soon after the German invasion of Poland; The Soviet Union attacked Eastern Poland and occupied the territories of earlier of the Russian Empire. In 1940, the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania which had become independent after WW1 became republics of the USSR. In November 1939, The Soviet Union went to war against Finland (see: The Winter War)

v  Conquest of Norway, Denmark and Holland

Germany launched her invasion of Norway and Denmark on April 9, 1940 and within three weeks completed the conquest of these countries. In early May began the Invasion of Belgium and Holland which ended by the end of May. (See: Operation Weserubung)

 v  Fall of France

The German armies marched into France and by July 14, 1940, the capital, Paris fell. The war conducted by Germany with great speed and force is known as Blitzkrieg or Lightning War. (See: Invasion of France)

 v  Battle of Britain

The German Air force, the Luftwaffe, began bombing raids over Britain in preparation for Operation Sea Lion, a land invasion of Britain. Initially the British Air force suffered heavy losses but with American aid they finally prevailed over the air raids and matched the German Air Force with their own. This foiled any plans for an Invasion of Britain. (See: Battle of Britain)

v  The Battle of Stalingrad

In June 1941, Hitler betrayed the non-aggression pact with Russia and invaded her (See: Operation Barbarossa). In August 1942, Hitler targeted an industrial city. In November the Soviets were able to counter attack with fresh reinforcements. The German were already suffering from frigid temperatures and their overextended supply lines became a threat. The German finally had to retreat. (See: Battle of Stalingrad)

v  The Battle for Berlin

It began in April 1945. The Germans were caught between the Americans in one side and the Soviets on the other. When Allied Forces closed in on Berlin itself Hitler committed suicide. On May 7, 1945 the last of the German armies surrendered. (See: Battle of Berlin)

EFFECT OF THE WAR

Over 50 million people perished in the Second World War. Of them about 22 million were soldiers and over 28 million civilians. About 12 million people lost their lives in concentration camps or as a result of the terror unleashed by the fascists. Some countries lost a large percentage of their population. For example: Poland lost 20% of their population. Soviet Union lost 20 million people which are about 10% of their population. The various nations that took part in the war spent about 1 lakh crore rupees. Britain alone suffered a loss of Rs 200 crore .One fourth of the national wealth of Russia was spent in the war. Germany, France and Poland also suffered heavy losses. The chief colonial powers lost their power and glory and many countries like India, Myanmar and Sri Lanka became independent. Later many other countries in Asia and Africa were liberated from the imperial control of Britain, France, Portugal and Netherlands.

CONSEQUENCES

·         Defeat of the Axis powers:

Up to the middle of 1942 the Axis powers met with remarkable success and captured large territories in Europe, Africa and Asia. But by the end of 1940, the tide began to turn against the Axis. In November 1940, Allied powers recaptured African territories lost by France. This was followed by their victory over Italy. The Allies powers forced Italy to make an unconditional surrender. In March, 1945 the Allied powers moved across the Rhine and dealt a death blow to the German forces. Hitler was so disappointed that he committed suicide on April 30, 1945.

After the defeat of Germany the Allied powers turned their attention towards Japan. In South East Asia, Japan had won victories over a number of countries and had occupied Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaya, Singapore, Myanmar, parts of New Guinea and Indonesia. The British forces liberated Myanmar, Malaya and Singapore. The Americans liberated the Philippines. In the Potsdam Conference held at July 26, 1945, Allied Powers asked Japan to surrender but Japan turned deaf ear. Consequently the Americans dropped the atomic bombs over Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945) and ended the war. Japan surrendered on the terms of the Potsdam Conference on August 10.

After the War the Axis powers met with the following consequences-

v  Germany was divided into zones:

  1.       Federal Republic of Germany to be administered by USA, Britain and French forces. It came under the capitalist ideology of the Anglo-American and became part of the capitalist bloc.

   2.       The German Democratic Republic to be administered by the Soviet Union. It came under the influence of the communist ideology of  the Soviets and became part of the communist bloc.

 v  Japan and Italy also became very weak. Unlike Germany they were not divided into zones to be governed by conquering forces. The American army was to occupy Japan until 1952. After this, the Japanese would resume sole control over its own affairs. Emperor Hirohito was left as a constitutional monarch. The Japanese Parliament retained some of its law making powers. All lands taken or seized by Japan since 1845 were taken away.

v  Formation of the UN: The horrors of the two world wars and the failure of the League of Nations led to the meeting of the Big Three- Roosevelt (President of USA), Churchill (Prime Minister of Britain), and Stalin (premier of USSR) at Yalta in   February 1945. They resolve to convene the representatives of all Nations at San Francisco to draw up the “Charter of the United Nations”. This led to the establishment of the United Nations Organization on October 24, 1945.

v  Cold War:  During the Second World War the USA and the USSR fought together. But after the War the apparent harmony between the two nations declined and old suspicion and ideological differences came to the forefront. Though both countries did not engage into a real fight with each other, but there was a state of extreme political tension between the two. This state of tension between one or more Nations in which either power designed and adopted policies to strengthen itself and weaken the other is called Cold War.

RISE OF NAZISM IN GERMANY

                         

                RISE OF NAZISM IN GERMANY

                

                                       

CAUSES:

·         Humiliating Treaty of Versailles:

Defeat in the First World War and the conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles made the Germans feel humiliated and helpless. Germans looked down upon the Wiemar Republic that had signed such a disgraceful treaty. Germany was forced to seize large chunks of her territory to France, Belgium, Poland and Denmark. Her overseas possessions (colonies) were taken away and divided among the Allies during the War. Germany was forced to pay heavy reparations to the tune of 33 billion dollars and the total strength of the German armies was fixed at 1 lakh. The treaty hence was much resented by the Germans who eagerly looked for an opportunity to avenge the same. These sentiments were fully exploited by Hitler who welcomed the Germans into a new promise for living i.e. to consign the Treaty into the waste paper basket, rebuild The GERMAN EMPIRE, and to recapture the lost colonies.

·         Growing fear of Communism:

After the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Communist influence in Germany and Europe in general increased considerably. They were able to organize themselves effectively and won a number of seats in the Reichstag. Hitler warned the people that the communists in Germany would be the servants of their masters in Russia and would follow the dictates of Communists. He, therefore, tried to persuade the people of Germany that Nazism would alone check the rising tide of Russian Bolshevism.

·         Economic Crisis:

             As the result of the harsh treaty of Versailles, Germany had to suffer in agricultural production, colonies, foreign investments, trade contracts, etc. The foreign countries raised tariffs against the German goods. The number of unemployed people increased. The conditions of the farmers were miserable. By June 1931, debts on farmers had risen to $300 million.

Hitler promised the farmers that he would condone their debts. He won over the Capitalists by assuring that the industries would not be nationalized. Nazis exploited the situation and assured the people that if they would abide by the Nazi ideology their economic misery would come to an end and Germany would regain his lost glory.

·         Resurgence of Militant Nationalism: The Germans would not reconcile with the democratic parliamentary system prevailing in the country. They preferred prestige and glory to liberty and freedom. They felt that only a strong could restore the past prestige of Germany and check the rising popularity of Communism. When Hitler promised them all glory, they welcomed him with open arms.

·         Anti-Semitic Propaganda-

The anti-Semitic propaganda carried out by the Nazi party also contributed to Hitler’s popularity. The Nazis described the Jews as traitors to their fatherland. They said that the Jews had conspired with the Allies during the War and could commit treason against Germany. They impressed upon the Germans that their hardship was due to the exploitation by the Jews, who dominated German economy. Due to this anti-Semitic propaganda many Germans rallied behind the Nazi party.

·         Establishment of Volunteer Corps:

Under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany’s military force was reduce to only one lakh and hence a large number of German soldiers were thrown out of service. Hitler roped in all these soldiers and organize them into Volunteer Corps that served as the party army. These Volunteers propagated the Nazi ideology and worked for safeguarding its influence.

·         Charismatic Personality of Hitler: Hitler had a charismatic personality. He had all the qualities required for a popular leader. He was a shrewd politician and a brave soldier. He knew the art of moulding public opinion according to the circumstances. He was a gifted orator who captivated the Germans with his emotional speeches. He told what the Germans wanted to hear i.e. the betrayal of Germany by the Jews and the Jewish-Communist plot to conquer the world. The Germans nourished a feeling of resentment to the insulting behaviour meted out to them by the Allies. He openly encouraged the Germans to consign the treaty to the waste paper basket, rebuild The German Empire and to recapture the lost colonies. He assured the Germans that if they abide by Nazism then their economic misery would come to an end. This greatly appealed to the Germans who extended full support to Hitler and his Nazi party.

Nazi Ideology

KEY ELEMENTS OF NAZI IDEOLOGY

National Socialist Program Racism Especially anti-Semitism, which eventually culminated in the Holocaust. The creation of a Herrenrasse (Master Race= by the Lebensborn (Fountain of Life; A department in the Third Reich) Anti-Slavism Belief in the superiority of the White, Germanic, Aryan or Nordic races. Euthanasia and Eugenics with respect to "Racial Hygiene" Anti-Marxism, Anti-Communism, Anti-Bolshevism The rejection of democracy, with as a consequence the ending the existence of political parties, labour unions, and free press. Führerprinzip (Leader Principle) /belief in the leader (Responsibility up the ranks, and authority down the ranks.) Strong show of local culture. Social Darwinism Defense of Blood and Soil (German: "Blut und Boden" - represented by the red and black colors in the Nazi flag) "Lebensraumpolitik", "Lebensraum im Osten" (The creation of more living space for Germans) Related to Fascism

RISE OF NAZISM

After the defeat in the First World War, Germany becomes a democracy. Social Democrats and Liberal parties form the new government. The enormous costs of the war cause rampant inflation. Unemployment rises to over five million. Large parts of the population live in fear of falling back into 19th-century poverty. Nationalist parties and the newly founded National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) blame the democratic constitution, the parties supporting the new republic and the unjust provisions of the peace treaty of Versailles for the chaos. But above all it is "the Jew" who is being blamed: The German worker is being ruined by "Jewish Capital" and threatened by "Jewish Bolshevism" that wants to turn him into a slave.

The Nazi party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler gains more votes in every election. It promises to "restore honor" to the Germans, to renew political order and to bring back "work and bread."

The Nazis pursue their political aims with aggressive propaganda and violence. In 1930 - twelve years after its founding - the parties that supported the republic lose their majority. Right-wing parties take over the government and begin to dismantle the democratic system.

In the elections of 1932, the NSDAP becomes the strongest party. The votes of the National Socialists are now needed to form the next government. On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler is named Reich chancellor. In February, his democratically elected government passes a law suspending civil rights and political freedoms. In March, the government is empowered to rule without parliament, to pass laws and govern by decree. Germany becomes a dictatorship ruled by Hitler and the Nazi Party.

IMPACT OF NAZISM

         Establishment of a Totalitarian State: Hitler had no faith in the parliamentary form of government. Therefore he eradicated all those elements which offered opposition to his authority. He concentrated all powers into his own hands, suppressed all opposition and propagated the Nazi ideology at will. He changed the federal form of government into a unitary one. Hitler himself became the governor of Prussia. By 1934 all State legislatures were abolished and the sovereign control of the central government established. Various political parties were abolished. A ban was imposed upon the press, and restrictions imposed on public speeches and writing of articles and cinema. A secret police called the Gestapo kept a check on the activities of the citizens. Those suspected of disloyalty to the state were arrested or executed without trial.

·         Economic reforms:

Hitler introduced a number of reforms to meet the economic crisis. He launched the first Four Year Plan to have greater production. The objectives of the reforms were to remove unemployment and making the nation self-sufficient. The reforms are:

Ø  Factories were set up to provide work for the labourers.

Ø  Industries and agricultural productions and trade were encouraged.

Ø  A Food Corporation was established to control food production, pricing and distribution.

Ø  Price controls were introduced and incentives were provided for farmers.

Ø  Capitalists were encouraged to increase production and strikes were banned.

Ø  Imports and exports were controlled to maintain favourable balance.

Ø  The production of heavy armaments, planes, tanks and naval ships was increased on a large scale.

Ø  Projects of public works, building government offices, stadiums, art galleries; housing development, etc.; were undertaken.

Ø  The trade unions were dissolved. All the workers were put under one Union whose chief was a Nazi. He assured the workers of safeguarding their interests and rights. 

Thus, Hitler freed Germany from the economic crisis and put an end to the problem of unemployment.

·         Militarism and Compulsory military training:

Special efforts were made to increase the military force of the country. Military training was made compulsory training was made compulsory which again created more employment. Hitler believed that nations can become great and influence other nations only on the pride of their military strength. He started re-armament in Violation of the Treaty of Versailles. This pleased the army officers who felt humiliated by the terms of the treaty.

·         Acquisition of Territories:

Hitler tried to acquire more territories for the surplus German population. Hitler said, “Germany within her existing frontiers could attain only limited self-sufficiency in raw materials and none at all at food stuffs. The only remedy lay in the acquisition of greater living space…” His objective was Pan-European Lebensraum (living space). Hitler tried to expand in the south and in east of Europe because that area was economically useful for Germany as it contained huge potentials for wheat, oil and coal. To attain this objective, Hitler used force and rejected all compromises. He entered into a non-aggression pact with Poland for a period of ten years in 1934 for the safety of his eastern frontiers. He reclaimed and remilitarised the territory of Saar and Rhineland from France. In 1938 he annexed Austria by force and concluded a non-aggression pact with Russia with secret protocols of dividing Poland.

·         Racial Supremacy:

Hitler believed in the doctrine of racialism which presented Germans as the master race (Harrenvolk) with the right and destiny to dominate the world. This race he said would rule all other inferior ones. For this, he wanted Germany to cleanse itself of contamination of the Jews and Communists.

·         Negative Aspects:

Hitler put an end to the civil liberties. Those who were suspected of opposing him were harshly treated with. Strict censor was imposed upon books, the press and the cinema. All Anti-Nazi books and magazines were consigned to fire.
