Not really affected by the Treaty of Versailles. We used them as a base for attacking Japan.
United States-Ally
We never passed the Treaty of Versailles because of the League of Nations, the Senate didn't want us to get involved in wars all the time so the Treaty of Versailles didn't really affect us.
Government: Republicans, Roosevelt, democracy. New Deals, loved and hated.
Goals: get us out of the Great Depression, revenge on Japan, stop Germany.
Military Strategy: during the 20s we didn't have much of a plan, Kellogg-Briand Pact. in the 30s the military was built up to create jobs, series of neutrality acts, isolationism.
Huge impact, D-Day, lots of troops, women got involved with building in factories. We didn't have war zones here like in Japan and Germany and such. Got us out of the Great Depression, relieved some racial tensions, more independence for women, emerged as a major power, numero uno.
Canada-Ally

Australia-Ally
Got in the war when Germany invaded Poland, had several leaders throughout the war, John Curtain.
Curtain aimed toward peace, pulled troops out of Europe when Japan started attacking them. Had a weak military from the Great Depression. Leaned towards US after awhile, slowly became independent, industrial.
Australia was a great place for a military base, last land not captured by Japan, the Battle of Coral Sea.
Vladimir Lenin, true marxist, first leader of Soviet Union. The Treaty of Versailles lead to WWII because Germany lost a lot of land and started invading to get it back. Territorial consequences. Military consequences. Financial consequences. General consequences (war guilt clause, league of nations). League of Nations, worldwide peacekeeping organization. We didn't join because of isolationism. Failed because we never joined, very lenient on Hitler because the couldn't go to war and enforce what they ordered. Got around 100,000 troop limit by training them, letting them go, bringing in another 100,000.
