Final Jeopardy AnswerTreaty of Versailles: Severely punished Germany for WWI by forcing Germany to pay large war reparations, limited its army, forced it to take blame for the war and created the Weimar Republic. These actions caused poor economic conditions and resentment among Germans.
Policy of Appeasement: The Munich Pact and lack of action by the League of Nations caused Hitler to take additional risks and take what he wanted. The Axis powers saw that there would be no consequences if they took aggressive action. Rise of Fascism: The extreme nationalism in Germany and Italy emphasized loyalty to the state and obedience to its leader. Fascists promised to revive the economy, punish those responsible for hard times and restore national pride. The message attracted people who felt frustrated and angered by the TOV and the poor economic situation.
Worldwide Depression: People were looking for strong leaders to fix their countries problems.
