Unit 12: World War II
The Big Picture:
The peacemakers at the end of World War I created a League of Nations to prevent future wars, but the treaty brutally punished Germany and
inadvertently created conditions that led to another world war in 1939. Totalitarian regimes came to power, not only in Germany but in the Soviet
Union, Japan and Italy. The economic conditions of the Great Depression contributed to the rise of these regimes. In the twenty years between the
world wars, major developments in physics, psychology, and art took place throughout the world. The fighting of WWI was surpassed by the
fighting of WWII. Unlike the first world war that was fought in Europe, the second world war was fought in Europe, Asia, and Africa between the
Allied and Axis Powers. WWII brought a new change with the dropping of the atomic bomb serving as a turning point in world history. At the end
of the war, the United Nations was formed to do what the League of Nations did not; maintain peace. As things wrapped up with WWII the next
phase of world history was heating up with tensions leading to the Cold War, as the two superpowers of the United States and Soviet Union
squared off.
