The Start
• The global conflict which was labeled World War II
emerged from the Great Depression, an upheaval
which destabilized governments, economies, and
entire nations around the world. In Germany, for
instance, the rise of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party
occurred at least partly because Hitler claimed to be
able to transform a weakened Germany into a self-
sufficient military and economic power which could
control its own destiny in European and world affairs,
even as liberal powers like the United States and Great
Britain were buffeted by the depression.
