The cause of World War II was the Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I.
The Treaty put restraints on Germany so that it could not develop foreign economic trade, manufacture items that could be used in warfare and stripped it of territory vital for its survival as a nation. It gave the vital area of Alsace Lorraine on the Rhine and the industrial area of the Saar to France.
Inflation became out of control in Germany. The money was worthless. It took a barrel full of money to buy a loaf of bread. People were out of work and starving. The Germans were looking for a savior and he emerged from the beer halls in Munich.
Hitler talked tough, ignored the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles and put the country back to work building weapons of war–something the Germans had always done well. The economy began to recover, people were working and the money became valuable.
The powers who had signed the Treaty of Versailles looked the other way because they did not want another war with Germany. What everyone got, including the Germans, was death, destruction and economic ruin that was even worse than World War I–and all this happened over a span of less than 30 years!
Treaty of Versailles
Germany felt cheated, and when Hitler reclaimed territory in the 30s other leaders said "okay–he isn’t asking for that much."
Italy and Japan both supported the Allies in WWI, yet they felt cheated too. Italy gained some territory from Austria, but they wanted more, and they thought they’d get some colonies. Japan thought they’d get some colonies in the Pacific, but most German colonies there went to France & Britain.
By giving Iraq to Britain, Germany was cut off from one of its sources of oil.
