    A short clip of the causes of World War 2


    Adolf Hitler coming to power

    The German people felt alienated (isolated) from


    the world after WWI, and the reparations put a
    large strain on German economy.
    Hitler came to power legitimately on the 5th March,
    1933, when his nationalist Nazi Party was elected
    democratically.
    23 March, Hitler passed the Enabling Act 1933
    which gave him the power to pass legislation (laws)
    and alter the constitution.
    Questions:
    When was the Nazi party elected?
    What did the Enabling Act 1933 allow Hitler to do?
    Hitler in power the Third Reich
    Once in power, he took swift actions to abolish other
    parties and lay the framework for the Third Reich.
    The Third Reich was new age Germany entered under
    the guidance of Hitlers party, which aimed to unite all
    German speaking people
    The concept of the Aryan (blonde, blue eyed, tall
    people) was important, Hitler believed they were a
    supreme race.
    The Third Reich was a quest for racial, social and
    cultural purity. Jews were seen as conspirators against
    the Aryans, and were targeted from the beginning.
    Questions:
    What was the Third Reich?
    What did the Third Reich aim to do?
    Highway to war
    Hitler began to violate the terms of the
    Treaty of Versailles. 16 March, 1935 he
    reintroduced Military conscription.
    He ordered his army to reoccupy
    Rhineland district near the border,
    where France negotiated to be a buffer
    zone between the nations. No action
    was taken.
    This led to a policy of appeasement
    (non-resistance) from 1936-1938.
    Questions:
    Where did Hitlers army reoccupy?
    When was the policy of appeasement?
    Appeasement

    1938, Germany announced the absorption of


    Austria to no reaction from Britain or France.
    Then he seized a large region of Czechoslovakia.
    The Czech army prepared 1mil soldiers to fight
    Hitler, but France and Britain didnt answer their
    call for help.
    September 1938, leaders from Britain and France
    met Hitler at the Munich Conference. They forced
    the Czech government to allow him to occupy the
    Czech border for the sake of peace
    Questions:
    What actions did the British and French take to
    stop Germany?
    What happened at the Munich Conference?
    Tensions building

    In March, 1939, Hitler took over the remainder of


    Czechoslovakia, and then set his sights on Poland.
    British PM Chamberlain realised Hitler couldnt be
    stopped through appeasement, and declared that
    he would aid Poland if they were attacked. France
    followed.
    Undeterred, in August 1939, Hitler signed a non-
    aggression treaty with the Soviet Union (Russia).
    This meant he could invade Poland without their
    interference.
    Questions:
    How did PM Chamberlain try to stop Hitler
    invading Poland?
    War declared
    9:00am, 3 September 1939, Sir Neville
    Henderson (Britain's ambassador to Germany)
    delivered an ultimatum to Hitler if hostilities
    against Poland didnt stop by 11am, Britain and
    Germany would be at war. Germany didnt
    respond.
    11:15am, PM Chamberlain interrupted radio
    broadcasts to announce Britain was at war with
    Germany.
    9:00pm (Aus time), 3 September, 1939,
    Australian PM Robert Menzies declared war on
    Germany.
    Questions:
    What did Sir Henderson want Germany to do?
    When did Australia declare war on Germany?
