Why did the war begin? Conflicts: During the 1930's there were many wars erupting in the

world. Civil war had broken out in Spain. Japan and China were at war over land and

Germany started to reclaim what it saw as its land. The First World War: Germany lost the

First World War to Britain and her allies. Germany had to pay a fine, over £6 000 000, for

starting the war and give up some of its land and could only have a few soldiers and a small

navy. They also had to sign rules on how to behave, this was called 'The Treaty of Versallies'.

The Depression: During the 1930's, millions of people lost their jobs around the world.

Money became hard to find and so did food. It became so bad in one town called Jarrow that

some men marched to London to tell the Prime Minister how unhappy they were. Banks

closed and people lost their savings. In Germany, a whole suitcase of money could only buy

a basket of shopping. Adolf Hitler: Adolf Hitler became leader of a party of people called

Nazis. They believed that Germany should take the land back that they had to give away

after the First World War. He told people if they followed him they would have jobs. He said

he would reclaim land and money for the German people.
