World War two was triggered by Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939 but there were four main reasons why World War two started; the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler's actions, failure of appeasement and the failure of the League of Nations. Britain and France declared war on Germany because Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles, which stated that Germany could not expand its nation. The failure of the Leagues of Nations assisted in the outbreak of the war. The League was made to ensure that war never broke out again. France and Britain were the two main leaders in the League. They often made decisions based on their own interest based on their economy and military power. Britain and France were very weak as a country after World War 1. When Hitler rose to power and gained all the lands, the treaty of Versailles was made. Woodrow Wilson made the treaty based on his 14-point plan which he believed would bring peace to Europe. The treaty was very harsh and the German people were very unhappy about the treaty. They thought that it was too harsh. Germany could not afford to pay the money and during the 1920s the people in Germany were very poor. There were not many jobs and the price of food and basic goods were high. People were dissatisfied with the government and voted to power a man who promised to rip up the Treaty of Versailles. His name was Adolf Hitler.
