The Treaty of Versailles was rejected by the US. The US had a democracy during WW2. FDR helped the country by strengthening the economy in the US. His goals were to get out of the Depression. At 1st the US wanted to stay out of the war. But Pearl Harbor forced America into action. After that our goal was to essentially defeat the Axis Powers. We helped the a lot because we supported other countries by providing medicine troops and other supplies that helped other armies a lot. WW2 made the US the strongest country in the world. And there was a baby boom that increased the population greatly. It helped technologically as well. And then right after that we were in the Cold war against Russia.
Germany felt that they couldn't protect themselves with just one hundred thousand men. The Germans thought that they were treated unfairly with the Treaty of Versailles. They hated it. But Germany were forced to abide by it. Hitler made it seem like it was the Weimar Republics fault that everything was in bad condition in Germany. If Germany hadnt of been in bad condition then Hitler may have never gotten into power. Germanys democracy failed because it takes a long time for a new democracy to set in. The League of Nations didnt have a military force that could keep countries like Germany in line. If Britain and France had gone to war right away with Germany they couldve defeated it before it was to powerful. Mussolini hated the Catholic Church because he was athiest. He was a Fascist dictator. He wanted a very strong military, and he thought that it was good to have a lot of land.
