WWII BIG PICTUREWWII BIG PICTURE The Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI created an uneasy peace. Amid postwar instability, Great Britain and France avoided conflict, and the United States sought to isolate itself from Europe’s troubles. Meanwhile, however, Germany, Italy, and Japan fell under the sway of leaders promising order and glory. Their aggressions would lead into WWII, a conflict that pitched the Axis Powers against the Allies.
