Mr. Judd Name_________________ Ch. 13 A World in Flames (Prelude to WWII) Study Guide Worldwide economic hardships in the 1920’s and 30’s took a terrible toll. After World War One, discontent among the poor and unemployed in Europe allowed compelling rulers like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini to gain enormous power. These dictators promised their people better lives and that their country would have more prominence on the world stage. All the citizens had to do . . . was obey. Similarly, the nationalistic military leaders of Japan convinced their citizens that Japan should expand her territories and ultimately, rule over the entire Far East. The resulting war would not mean better lives for the people of Europe or Asia. Instead, millions were killed and injured in battle, while millions more perished due to hunger, torture and racial and ethnic prejudice. Initially Americans were not willing to get involved in the conflict overseas but ultimately, the United States would have to play a deciding role in ending, World War Two.
