Why World War I Caused World War II | Total War

The Second World War was a war in which massive armies advanced, confronting whole populations with impossible choices. The manufacture of weapons transformed industry and the workforce; area bombing campaigns reduced cities to rubble; sieges doomed populations to starvation; racial policies sponsored campaigns of genocide. Told through archive footage and expert interviews, we learn how WWII shattered the boundaries between home-front and battlefield.

    He was wrong regarding the treaty though...it was the brutality of the treaty that set the stage for the rise of Hilter and the national socialist party. Woodrow Wilson understood this and America was the only power not to sign the treaty. The British feared this as well and only reluctantly signed it. Germany had no idea that going into the signing they were going to be forced to admit ‘fault’ for the war and owe gigantic reparations...this was jumped on them once they got to the table. The REAL reason we jumped this on them was because France owed a huge monetary debt to the US and Britain that they were not going to pay. After the cease fire this became clear, and we sought to find ways to make Germany pay the French debt instead. Even though they didn’t know it was going to be part of the terms, we wrote it in before they got there as legal justification for war reparations, they had to admit ‘fault’. Several of the German delegation literally fell down upon reading the terms of the armistice.

    @@mamavswild You are so wrong it's difficult to know where to start ... 1) You appear to be confused between the Armistice, signed 11 November 1918, and the Treaty of Versailles, signed 28 June 1919. The Armistice was the temporary ceasefire that ended hostilities, the Treaty was the document that ended the war. 2) The fact that Germany was going to have pay reparations was a clause stipulated in the Armistice, so Germany knew from November 1918 that she was going to be required to pay reparations. 3) On 24 April 1919, Germany submitted an offer for reparations she was prepared to pay. This offer was for 50 Billion Gold Marks. (Germany, in fact, never even payed half of this amount). 4) America _DID_ sign the Treaty of Versailles. The American Senate refused to ratify the Treaty due to the League of Nations clauses within the Treaty, which included the requirement for "Collective Security". This would require, in the event of an attack upon any one Nation of the League, the need for all other Signatory Nations to act in defence of said Nation. The American's objected to this. 5) On August 25 1921, America signed a separate peace Treaty with Germany. This Treaty essentially bound both Nations to the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles (1919), with the clauses binding America to the League of Nations Covenants removed.

    @@bolivar2153 No I’m not wrong; I summed things up because I don’t feel like writing a doctoral dissertation. I know the different between the armistice and the treaty and theres a HUGE difference between debt and massive GDP crushing reparations. They had no idea that they were going to be saddled with ‘war guilt’ at the treaty and this was an understandable emotional strain on both their honor and duty to their own soldiers who had died. Since your spamming me on another comment I’ll just go ahead and ignore this one. Foch was right about the timing only because he knew the treaty needed to be Scorched Earth or NOTHING. leaving Germany with any means to extract revenge over such a cruel and unjust treaty would endanger France; hence, his insisting on a Scorched Earth treaty (which isn’t a treaty at all)...we all know he wanted to fight all the way to Berlin and quite honestly, it would have been better he do that or no treaty at all. And as an American soldier, I have to say that France got what it deserved when it was crushed in the Blitzkrieg. As much as I despise N-Germany and their horrible policies, they did ONE great and awesome thing and that was having the surrender signed in the same rail car that the Germans thought they were going to get a fair deal out of 20 years earlier. WELL PLAYED!!! 👏👏hahahahaha. 🤣🤣 It was France and their insistence on revenge that set the stage for the rise of Hilter. Revenge never works. Ever. And their arrogance but anyone who has ever worked with the French like I have knows that they are soul-crushingly arrogant. But you’re one of those long-winded dudes that always have to have the last comment in order to ‘win’ so have at it. You’re on ‘ignore’ LMAO

    Total War is nothing new in war history. Siege with starving and blockage of supplies, but also destruction of livelihood for the civilian population are old tactics. The only new to the 20th century has been the massive and arbitrary air bombardment. However, the ultimate intensity of total war, like seen in this film, probably didn't occure until the American Civil War, as it became crucial during its last phases, but with this experience leading to a follow up in the US campaigne against the indigenous peoples. This was not only about Genocide, but Ecocide. At one time, there were a minimum of 30 million Buffalo roaming the great American plains, woodlands and mountain valleys. The great Buffalo slaughter increased dramatically after the Civil War, as the offensive to destroy the indigenous cultures then escalated. The bloody fight between the Blues and Greys had fundamentaly established the tactics of total war, and it was now also used against plains nations, like the Lakota, the Cheyenne and the Comanche, who's basic livelihood was the Buffalo. In only about 40 years, but with a peak between 1865 and 1875, as many as 60 million or more of these animals were killed by the Euro-Americans, in different types of mass hunts, either as pure contests, for supply of skin and bone, or simply to feed troopers. Although the US administrations and military leaders in many ways left it circumstancial, this was very much deliberate, activated and encouraged as a strategy by governments, under the military leadership of former civil war general William T. Sherman and general Philip Sheridan. Along with the more industrial side of it also sports hunts were common, with sports hunters being invited from Europe to kill Buffalo. By 1885 there were fewer than 1.000 Buffalo left, with near only 300 in the wild. Also millions of Pronghorn antelopes were killed in the same period. This is less known, but there were perhaps some 50 million of them, but less than 20.000 alive in the early 1920's.

    First you say there were 30 million buffalo but farther down you say they killed 60 million buffalo so I’m curious which is it? I had always heard there were roughly 50 million so at least you’re close lol Now explain to me why in the comment section of a video that is discussing the part of WWII often overlooked to the point of saying the war started in Sept 1939 with the invasion of Poland. Which of course is labeled as being Eurocentric. Why are you going on about how the indians in America were being starved out by the Euroamericans who were killing all the buffalo to near extinction. Oh and don’t forget the antelope that were also killed. Most or almost all of what you were saying had absolutely nothing to do with what the video was about. I hope you aren’t one of those people who have a particular topic or cause that they constantly bring up even when there’s absolutely nothing connecting what’s being shown in the video with their chosen cause. Could you not simply watch the video and maybe learn something from it that has nothing to do with your usual topic of interest? I don’t suppose you also claim to have indian DNA coursing through your veins do you? No offence but that’s usually what gets brought up not long after someone has made statements such as yours. It’s tiresome and borders on the absurd when they of course claim to be a descendent of an indian princess lol And then I usually explain to them that there were no indian princesses at all.

After watching this I am even more thoroughly appalled at what the Japanese did back then in addition to what I already knew about the WW2 atrocities. And also China for doing that to their own people. Can't believe I didn't know much about these events before, other than hearing about it in passing without much detail.

    The most notable reason for the failure of a true peace accord stems from an unwillingness of European nations to recognize the potential of the concept of self determination of a nation state, instead insisting upon their previous concepts of financial gain through expansionist imperialism at all costs. So while there was a breakup of the Austria/Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, the rest scrambled to take over the control of areas of the breakup for their own financial gain.

    Then again between 1815 and 1914, the only real wars were Crimean and Franco-Prussian, neither of long duration nor deeply destructive. They didn’t learn from the horror of the American Civil War, which only got worse with 60 years of tech advances by the time WWI rolled around. Europe has always been about what to do with the Germans, keeping them from dominating the continent vexed the Romans and eventually caused birth World Wars. Now they dominate the EU, and don’t need to do it militarily. You’d think they’d eventually fight the Russians but both are in demographic free fall, and no one will be around to do any fighting.

    The Great Depression was a big reason on why the League of Nations was so weak. UK and France suffered heavily and were dealing with domestic issues. USA was in similar spot. None of these countries had the resources to invest in military expeditions until they found out it was too late.

    A thing to add was that the Russian Civil War, and the subsequent wars surrounding and involving the various Russian governments, kept groups like the British Empire involved in armed conflict into the mid-1920's, and Japan never really ceased armed conflict between the wars - it died down a bit, but the Russian Whites Vs Russian Reds were very much present on the border with Korea, which saw Japan get involved militarily on numerous occasions. Further, they saw the constant conflict as demanding a war footing with their armed forces. When demands were placed upon them, as with the rest of the world, to reduce their military size and capacity (especially with the Washington and London Naval Treaties) while they were, so far as they were concerned, still involved with significant armed conflict associated with the 1st World War, it gave them a sense that they were being treated and ignored as a second rate nation on the world stage. The impact this had on their national pride cannot be understated, and is almost definitely the catalyst as to why militarisation and withdrawal from international diplomatic participation was acceptable to Japan and large portions of its population. Especially as many White Russians, finally defeated in Russia itself, with Soviet Russia actively seeking to restore it's old Imperial borders through military force, saw the Whites escape to places like Korea, and a growing sense of hostility with communist regimes (especially with the rise of Communism in China), a western world ignoring what they saw as their needs to defend themselves was all the political leverage necessary to see isolationist politics come to the fore in Japan.

    I think It was an "anarchy" between 1919-1939 and that was the reason after WW2 the 2 superpower occupied almost whole Europe(and some part of Asia) to prevent any next war even only between 2 countries or any potentional agressor to take power. Similar happened after 1815 when GB kept the balance and prevent the serious wars. Before 1815 wars were almost permanent but weren't so high destructive. Even in Asia WW2 started earlier and finished later.

    Strategic ambiguity is generally defined as *"purposefully being vague to derive personal or organizational benefit."* Zaremba, A. J. (2010). Or as the street would say, "sticking the finger in every pie possible everywhere, anytime, but mum's the word..." *Too much "strategic ambiguity" at a time "strategic consolidation" is required, leads to "empires" and corporations failing in the long run.* Too much intent on short-term gain, at the expense of long-term stability, leads to the foundations of an empire (any "empire") or corporation turning into the "clay" of the famous symbolism/idiom: Warrior with clay feet. In this regard, the turn of the previous century offers many examples of "nails in the coffin" of the British Empire, and allowing the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of 1902 to expire (see below comment), rather than morphing it into something more suitable for the times, is an example of "clay feet" rapidly being created. Along with similar turn of the century examples, like the 2nd Boer War, and not pushing for a more united Europe, being other examples of "clay feet" created which evtl. led to the topling of the "warrior" called the British Empire. The most compelling argument (on the surface) *against* renewing the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of 1902 was made by Canada. Of course the fear of being dragged into of a war between Japan and the USA via London/GB/British Empire, for whatever reason, would have hit Canada hardest. Therefore an argument against a treaty with Japan is compelling...but also false. At the time, the issue was mainly China. *Fact: The isn't a single example of a nation or state being "forced" into a war its hawks did not already find desirable or inevitable, etc.* It would have been fairly simple to morph the existing Anglo-Japanese Treaty of 1911, to exclude any acts of provocation or aggression by Japan. That way, in case it was Japan which was pushing for trouble, London/GB could have taken action to restrict it (by stating that Japan would be on its own if it provoked a war with the USA, and ignoring warnings in re. to such). Another factor often forgotten, is that within the British Empire, the Domininions had gained the rights to declare war themselves. Unlike colonies like India, which London held the right to declare war on behalf of, nobody could force Canada to become involved in a war, and a declaration of neutrality was always an option. Of course, in a decent world, nobody would dare invade a neutral, so that Canada was safe under all foreseeable circumstances (at least "de jure"). *The argument "Empire potentialy drawn into a war started by Japan" at some point after WW1 is invalid, and therefore other reasons for not extending the treaty must have existed, which are clouded by secrecy even up to today.* In regards to keeping the Anglo-Japanese Treaty intact, and granting the Japanese nation the "honor" of becoming equals at Versailles. According to Machiavelli, it would also have been a wise step towards saving the British Empire (along with ending the short-sighted European habit of "creating pariahs per treaty"). The argument usually raised here is "yeah..but the Japs didn't want everybody to be racially equal, so duh..." True. The "totally un-racist" London (lol) could have outflanked the equally racist leaders in Tokyo, who just advocated "racial equality" for themselves of course, and advocated for "racial equality" as a general obligation or declaration of intent, for *all* races. Machiavelli... What did Machiavelli say about the real value of mercenary armies you must pay (money as incentive) to do own bidding? *"And experience has shown princes and republics, single-handed, making the greatest progress; and mercenaries doing nothing except damage." Nicolo Machiavelli, 1505* Obviously, money is a great incentive to "sign up" for something, but it offers less incentive to die for a cause one isn't exactly a fan of... Starting around 1900, but especially after the financial "slap on the wrist" of WW1, the Lords in London could and should have turned masses of "inferiors per desired outcome" in their crumbling Empire into a "Pound block of equals". They could have turned the masses of "inferiors" all over the world, into "armies of equals". The old strategies again proving themselves almost 100% correct, for when the time came (1940) GB found itself "alone on the beaches and in the hills", rather than have millions of "equals" turning up to fight for a common cause. Own previous failures, simply offered the incentive for "masses of inferiors" to "sit on the fence" to await the outcome for own causes. Combined in mutually beneficial alliances, rather than "inferior mercenies" which came from "colonies", to create mutually protecting dominion-like independent/suzerein states in a re-organized soft-power empire was the option not taken. Unfortunately, the spineless and equally racist "hero lords" in London, unwilling to stand up to wrongs, did not understand even this most simplest of logic, and therefore lost their inheritance (Empire). "The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously." Julian Barnes Everything you've been made to recite as a "chest thump/cool move"-moment in history, like Versailles or allowing the Anglo-Japanese Treaty to lapse without a replacement, simply just another nail in their own coffin of "Empire". The gatekeepers in London (starting "around 1900"), a total failure. *Too much "strategic ambiguity" at a time "strategic consolidation" is required, leads to "empires" and corporations failing in the long run.* You don't become "the best", if you finger-point at someone "bad". You don't become "high IQ", if you consider someone else "low IQ". You don't become "smart", if you laugh at someone "stupid". You don't become "more superior" if you look down at someone you've termed "inferior".

    @MyImList I never intended to suggest that fiat currency is the explanation for *_all wars_* eventually ending,.. just many,.. and certainly explains why modern wars continue long after they are strategically lost. Consider that the western part of the Roman Empire had so debauched their gold coinage that their own roman soldiers refused to accept such coins for pay,.. and so the western Romans took to paying the _barbarians_ instead to protect them. When you are paying the foxes to guard the hen house, how long can a civilization last? Not long. This is the principle reason why the city of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire continued for a thousand years more than Rome did. *_Wars are caused by undefended wealth._* ~ General Douglas MacArthur *_What's interesting then is that every national government has some incentive to devalue [its currency] ... to protect their own domestic economy and employment. Gold has no similar constituency for devaluation._* ~ Rick Rule *_A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:_* . *_From Bondage to Spiritual Faith_* . *_From Spiritual Faith to Great Courage_* . *_From Courage to Liberty_* . *_From Liberty to Abundance_* . *_From Abundance to Selfishness_* . *_From Selfishness to Complacency_* . *_From Complacency to Apathy_* . *_From Apathy to Dependency_* . *_From Dependency back into Bondage_* ~ Alexander Fraser Tytler 18th century Historian and Jurist *_A private central bank issuing a public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army... We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...[we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression._* ~ Thomas Jefferson *_The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the revolution._* ~ Benjamin Franklin *_They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety._* ~ Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 *_When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic._* ~ Benjamin Franklin *_I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity. [To approve the measure] would be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded._* ~ President Franklin Pierce's 1854 veto of a measure to help the mentally ill. *_The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency._* ~ Vladimir Ilich Lenin *_Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required to support deficit spending. No private embezzlers or bank robbers in history have ever plundered people's savings on a scale comparable to the plunder perpetrated by fiscal policies of statist governments._* ~ Ayn Rand *_The modern mind dislikes gold because it blurts out unpleasant truths._* ~ Joseph A. Schumpeter *_The spirit of a people, its cultural level, its social structure, the deeds its policy may prepare; all this and more is written in its fiscal history, stripped of all phrases.

    The idea that Versailles was too harsh or that Germany wasn't responsible for that war have become fashionable history fare these past few decades.

It was he who assured Austria-Hungary that it would be supported in invading Serbia. And who could blame France for wanting Germany to pay the costs? I don't. Germany itself mismanaged their post war economic and political environment. Let's stop trying to invent causes elsewhere.

In WW2 the Germans started way behind the Allie’s on a number of metrics: - the size of their navy - the number of trained NCO’s - long range bomber development - even their tanks were inferior to the French tanks in 1940 In the end though it was superior organization and battle doctrine that made the Wehrmacht more effective.

    If the allies had not punished Germany so severely for a war it didn’t even start I seriously doubt that WW2 would have occurred.

    Then why did punishing Germany more severely the second time work out? It’s not that we punished Germany to severely. It’s that we didn’t enforce the punishment. We humiliated them and didn’t back it up with force like we did after ww2

    And while it’s not as significant because they weren’t a very effective fighting force, Italy also ended up defecting from the Allies to the Axis in WWII. In retrospect, the fact that a single treaty could anger one nation enough to seek revenge on the world, and two fellow allied nations enough that they would join them, would have to make this one of the worst peace treaties in history.
