What effects did World War 1 had on Germany?
Germany was required to pay reparations to the other countries. This was a large amount of money and the German government didn't have the means so the enforced taxes on the population of Germany.

What led Germany to start world war 2?
One of Adolf Hitler's primary stated goals before World War II was to bring all German people in Europe into a single country under his control. To that end, he spent much of 1937-1939 seizing territory from neighboring countries, in the name of German unification. He engineered the annexation of Austria, the seizure of the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, and then the dissolution of the rest of Czechoslovakia. After all that was done, he turned his sights to Poland. A large portion of western Poland had been ruled by Germany before the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Hitler demanded that territory back, along with an important seaport city called Danzig (now called Gdansk). However, Britain and France were no longer willing to allow Hitler to attack his neighbors; additionally, they were allied with Poland, so they were obligated to help if attacked. At first Hitler tried negotiating with Poland but his demands were too strict and Poland refused to accept. Hitler believed the Allies would not defend Poland; they had done nothing to help Austria or Czechoslovakia, so why would they now? So German agents pretended to be Polish spies, and they launched attacks on some German buildings near the border with Poland- Hitler wanted to use this as proof that Poland was attacking them, to justify declaring war and invading Poland. Nobody believed Hitler's stories, and when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany. World War II had officially begun.
Why Czechoslovakia separate?
Czechoslovakia officially split into two countries on 1st of January 1993. There was no war, nor any sort of ethnic conflict preceding the split, the decision largely made by "political elites," namely Vaclav Klaus (Czech) and Vladimir Meciar (Slovak), who then proceeded to become Prime Ministers of the newly independent countries.There was no referendum and opinion polls showed that people were largely ambivalent on the issue. The pro-split politicians in Slovakia argued that the split was necessary because Slovakia, the smaller part of the Czechoslovak Federation, was often neglected economically, the more important manufacturing factories placed in Czech Republic, while Slovakia's economy was based on agriculture and processing of raw materials. The two countries are historically different (the Czech republic historically part of Austria, while Slovakia was under Hungarian rule), have different (though quite similar) languages and are also dissimilar religiously, Slovakia overwhelmingly Catholic, while the Czechs have a large Protestant minority. -Alicia
