“Nature is cruel, so we may be cruel, too… I have the right to remove millions of an inferior race that breeds like vermin” -Hitler

Immediate Causes of WW II In Germany Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 as a fascist dictator. Hitler Hated the Treaty of Versailles and violated it. First he built up the German military. Then he sent troops into the Rhineland. This was a direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles, which said in 1919 that Rhineland was a demilitarized zone.

Immediate Causes of WW II Hitler wanted to conquer whoever he felt was inferior to the Germans or Aryans. He wanted “living space” for the Germans in Eastern Europe. On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland without a declaration of war. This starts World War II.

Immediate Causes of WW II Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. Italy declared war on France and Britain on June 10, 1940.

“Blitzkrieg” In German blitzkrieg means “lightning war”. Hitler used blitzkrieg during his invasion of Poland. Blitzkrieg included surprise attacks, rapid advances into enemy territory, and massive air attacks that struck and shocked the enemy. Germany achieved most of its victories in World War II with the Blitzkrieg tactic.
