How WWII Could Have Been Avoided?
By Justin Luna
Thesis Statement
I believe that WWII could have been delayed or avoided. And I will show you main reasons such as the Treaty of Versailles, Britain and France giving Hitler land to avoid war, and Hitler's rise to power.
1. Germany had to take full responsibility of WWI
2. Germany had to pay $132 billion for damages
3. Germany had to make more money and ended over produced money and made it worthless
These kids are using stacks of money as building blocks to make a tower because people were throwing stacks of money away.
1. Hitler took advantage of the depression to promise a new and better Germany
2. Nazi party went from practically unknown to being appointed chancellor, the head of the German government
3. Many Germans believed that they had found a savior for their nation.
