Militarism, Adolf Hitler want to re-arm Germany, Italy looking outward for conquest, Japan with recent naval victory against Russia in Vladivostok believes it can take the world as it had humiliate the Russian giant.\n\nAgression, believing that after WW1, no one wants another war, it can agress and bully neigbors, Germany start annexing Austro-Hungary, Japan use Manchuria as an excuse to be in China, Italy due to lack of any natural resource start venturing into Africa.\n\nNationalism, German leader lead the people believe that the suffering they have was a result of their defeat and was able to raise the nationalism spirit of the people, Japan with its emperor regard as the son of heaven, ralied the people to believe that they are no longer a small nation, they can anyone as they had shown in defeating the Russian navy. The Italian was ralied together to avoid a civil war.

As a result of WWI, Germany got trampled politically and economically.  Germany was forced to pay huge monetary remunerations since it was blamed for causing WWI.  Internally their money was undervalued and inflation was rampant.  One of the parties trying to gain control in the government was the Nazi party.  Hitler came to power in I believe 1933 with promises of a better quality of life, prosperity and (a big factor) a plan to regain Germany's status on the world stage.  He violated conditions set down in the Treaty of Versailles of June 28, 1919.  He built up the military beyond the treaty's limits i.e. built ships bigger than allowed, more tanks than were allowed, planes, etc.\n  Also, he had the idea that someone had to be blamed for the general poverty of the populace.  This was deemed the "Jewish problem".\n    The possible precursor to WWII was his being given the "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia.  Instead of the rest of Europe standing up to his aggressive invasion plans, it was thought if he was given some land he'd be happy and go back to his trampled nation.  Well, as we all know, that didn't happen.

Not too good truth be told.\n\nAfter World War One the rest of the world really screwed germany. They made all kinds of outragous claims on German lands and money. The economy was in the crapper and the politics of the day were doing nothing to change the situation. \n\nThere were millions with out work and inflation was sometimes 700% a day. Money had no real meaning and the masses were living under the boot of the Allies.\n\nThen in 1932 all hell broke loose.\n\nWhen the Nazi party came into power the first things they did was tell the allies to kiss off. They rebuilt their army and restored a national pride. These things helped feed the people and get the country back up on it's feet. \n\nI have been told that you would not worry about the politcs of the man who feeds you when you are starving. And the Nazi rule in Germany showed this.\n\nWhen you are full, happy and have your pride you can do much. And they did. But as history shows things got WAY out of hand and the now proud people were lead to a very scary place by some very scary people.\n\nTaking Cezch was easy and the invasion of poland wasn't that hard. But what was to come was a real wake up call for the world.\n\nSo the 1930's was a great time of change in Germany. In those 10 years germany would go from a beaten nation steped on and looted by the world to a superpower that almost took over europe.

They were desperate for relief and Hitler turned a poor war beaten country into a super power.\n\nThe only thing he did wrong was killing millions of jews, pagans atheist, communist and homosexuals.\n\nWait isn't that what most christians want??

The Germans were severly oppressed after their defeat in WW1 and the civil unrest allowed Adolph Hitler to win their confidence, promising to restore Germany's power and dignity.  \n\nHitler then set about a world conquest program that included the other Axis powers.  He lost.  So did Italy and Japan.  So did everyone else in many respects.  The Baltic nations were swallowed into Communism by the USSR, England was devastated and blood ran deep in most of Europe.\n\nJohnny

The Nazis wanted the Jews out of Europe. Three basic reasons.\n I) they were not Christians and Hitler was a good Christian. \n2) they were not Germans and Hitler wanted a Germany for the Germans (master race and all that stuff)\n3) The idea of deportation and the creation of a Jewish homeland fell through. (Hitler and the Nazis pressured England and other countries to create a place for a Jewish State. Those negotiations fell apart at the start of the second world war. Then the need for ships to transport them became an impossible requirement to match. The process of gathering them up and sending them somewhere was already in place and proceeding. Hitler was shipping them East to Poland and the Sudeten Lands, but there really was no place to put them. So they were   "resettled" in the death camps. It was not the first option, it was the final solution.\n\nI would suggest that you find a copy of "Eichman in Israel" by Hanna Arendt. It is an excellent read.

We entered WWII after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, not because Hitler declared war on America, it was common knowledge that Hitler wanted to take over the world. It wasn't 20 million people it was 11-12 million. if you really want to place the blame anywhere but the Nazis and Fascists then you should blame France and Britain and the other Allies that attend the Munich Conference. It was here that the policy of appeasement was applied towards Hitler. Appeasement if you don't know is the act of giving in to enemies in order to avoid war. Britain and France allowed hitler to take over the Rhineland and it was only after hitler's invasion of Poland that the rest of Europe declared war. Also the blame lies with the individals that lived in areas surrounding the concentration camps that swore after the war that they had no idea what was going on in their backyards (as if the smell of rotting and burning flesh isn't and obvious give away!!) and FDR's New Deal Programs helped to pull us out of the Great Depression as opposed to Hoover who didn't try to help the unemployed and starving people that were being thrown from their homes!

Tha was why Adolf Hitler intended to eliminate them in the world during WWII.

Because there was 'no credible evidence' that Germany was a threat. France believed they could negotiate with Hitler through the League of Nations or other diplomatic channels.

Well, the Allies were many different countries.  You would have to narrow down your question a little bit if you want to know something specific.  As far as some of the Allies go, China, France, England and Russia, as well as many other countries, were fighting to save their homeland.  Many of these countries were actually occupied by one or more of the Axis powers.  England held its own, but Germany was attempting to invade and did its best, but England was too determined to keep them out.  If you ask why the United States was involved in the war, it was partly because we were attacked by the Japanese.  The reason we fought in the European Theater is because the Allied leadership felt it was necessary to defeat the Germans and Italians because they were the more powerful combination in the Axis.  For your actual question, why were they fighting?  The Allies felt that people deserved the right to be free and be able to live the way they wanted as long as they didn't infringe on others right to do the same and the Axis powers wanted to control everyone and force them to live by their rules and according to their beliefs.  That would be why the Allies fought, to stop that from happening.

Adolf Hitler - Nazi dictator of Germany (1933-45), planned and started World War 2, committed suicide at the end of the war. \nGeneral Hideki Tojo - Prime minister of Japan (October 1941 - July 1944). With a long militarist tradition, Japan became extremely militarist and aggressive in the 1930s and was practically governed by military leaders. Tojo, an aggressive army General, became minister of war in July 1941 and prime minister in October 1941. After a short attempt to improve relations with the US failed, he ordered to go to war and attack Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He gradually took more ministerial roles, and in Feb. 1944 also made himself the commander in chief, like Adolf Hitler did. When he realized that Japan was going to lose the war he resigned. The military continued to control Japan until the end of World War 2, which came when the Emperor Hirohito which was until then passive, ordered to surrender in order to prevent further inevitable destruction of Japan. After the war Tojo was executed for his responsibility to Japan's war crimes. \nBenito Mussolini, was the prime minister of Italy (1922-1943). A former journalist, he went to politics and formed the Fascist party, whose ideology, Fascism, called for a one-party state, total obedience, patriotic nationalism, and aggressive militarism. The ideology and its implementation in Mussolini's Italy influenced Adolf Hitler's own ideology, Nazism, which was a combination of Fascism with extreme racism. Initially Mussolini led a right-wing coalition, but later Italy became a one party state. His treatment of unemployment made Mussolini popular, but the military aggression of Fascism led to its failure. Mussolini was eager to demonstrate the "strength" of his regime by invading weaker neighbors. In 1935 he invaded and occupied the peaceful Ethiopia from Italy's nearby colony in East Africa. In 1936, the two Fascist dictators, Hitler and Mussolini, signed an alliance. In 1939 he invaded and occupied his small neighbor Albania, and Mussolini then enhanced his alliance with Hitler to a full military alliance. Mussolini knew that his military was not very effective, but when the Germans defeated the French and British forces in mid 1940 he thought it was safe enough for him to attack Britain and the collapsing France too and declared war, and in October 1940 he also invaded Greece, and was repelled. Mussolini had a million soldiers in Libya, and he sent them to attack the small British force in Egypt. The Italian Navy and Air Force attacked British ports and shipping in the Mediterranean, from Gibraltar in the West to Haifa (Israel) in the East. Despite its numerical strength and the fact that British forces in the Mediterranean were greatly outnumbered and very stretched, the Italian military could not defeat them anywhere, and was severely beaten by the British, and simply had to call for the help of the much more capable Germans. Even with German help, the British forces only lost their positions in Greece and kept fighting fiercely from their island bases in Malta, Gibraltar, and in North Africa. Mussolini's Italy became a German puppet, and even sent troops to participate in Germany's invasion of Russia. Eventually, British and American forces eliminated the Italian and German forces in North Africa and followed in July 1943 with an invasion of Sicily in South Italy. It was clear that Italy was losing the war, so several days after the invasion Mussolini was replaced and arrested in a remote mountain castle. Hitler sent commandos to rescue his friend from captivity. In April 1945, when German defence in North Italy collapsed, Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans and executed . \nThe defenders\nWinston Churchill kept warning of the Nazi danger in pre-war years. He was elected prime minister of Great Britain after the total collapse of the appeasement policy of his predecessor Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain failed to understa

The most simple answer I could say is that Hitler was a man who saw debilitation of his own people. How he defined who was his own people was complicated and odd. But he spoke adamantly and loudly of his beliefs in his form of nationalism. There is a very good video made by the US War Department that puts together a good rough history of Hitler's ideology.

While concerned, Britain and France both basically gave Germany what it wanted during the Munich Conference of 1938, believing that the decision would prevent war and stop Germany's expansionist moves.\nIn 1939, Germany invaded Poland and World War II began.

Because at that time, Jews were the popular scapegoat for any problems, so it was natural to blame them. Even now, some fanatics out there still think that Jews control the entire world and are plotting to kill everyone. For these people, a war against Jews is good, and necessary. And Hitler used these people.
