Why was World War 1 not the war to end all wars?

Answer 1

Answer 1'The War to End All Wars' was known that way by people who could not believe that civilized nations would ever subject themselves to such horror again. But since Britain and France had been vindictive in settling World War I, and 20 years later did not act when Hitler started breaking the Versailles treaty, they had another war on their hands. My opinion: Looking through history, no matter how horrible a prior war was given time a nation is always prepared to go to war again for whatever reason they feel is important at the time. Answer 2The treaty of Versailles, signed ending WWI, left Germany's economy in utter ruins. It put the sole blame of WWI on Germany and made Germany pay for damages it caused. Since Germany didn't have enough it mass produced money and the money wasn't worth anything anymore due to inflation. This left a bitter feeling, among the German people, towards Britain, France, etc because they thought the treaty was unfair, and this anger was used by Hitler to come to power, and you know the rest. Answer 3Because there will always be fighting, which will eventually evolve into wars. Answer 4Because, when we said it was the war to end all wars we thought we would make the "league of nations", which was instead made after World War II and name changed to United Nations, if we had made the League of nations back then this war could have most likely been prevented from happening, and there would have been a longer lasting peace and many of lives spared. Plus not only was it because of that, but two races disliked another and thought themselves racially inferior. The Germans killed millions of Jews because of there religion and inferior ways, but Japan disliked the Chinese that they killed over 8 million of there civilions, about 12 times the number of military deaths. So it was about two races becoming dominate in the world and eventually those two would go after each other. Answer 5Hitler and Germany wanted to control all of Europe, destroy most of the people who weren't of Austrian or German ancestry and establish Germans as Lords over whomever remained. After Hitler completed that particular task he planned to build his power then expand to the rest of the world.

Japan too was expansionist, wanting to control all of the islands of the Pacific. Japan timed their aggression to coincide with the German efforts in Europe in the hopes of weakening the Allied military forces. They wanted to face a minimal resistance in their Imperialistic efforts.

In both cases it was all about building power, taking land and killing or enslaving the locals.

Answer 6

Answer 2

Basically, because there were two victors. The Allied Nations of the World, and the Russians. The Allieds were Democratic, and the Russians were Communists.

Well no one expected another World War after WW1

Answer 3

World War I was known as a war without end because many of the aims of the war ending failed, resulting in weakened states, renewed European nationalism and Germany's humiliation that led to the rise of fascism. These all eventually led to World War II.

Answer 4

Woodrow Wilson, who was the President of the United States of America at that time.

Answer 5

The Treaty of Versailles angered the German people and eventually led them to want Hitler to take back what was "rightfully German." This led to World War II just 20 years later.

Answer 6

Because the treaty of Versailles was so unfair and basically asked Germany to start another world war.

Answer 7

Because there is a world war two...
