The US rejected the Treaty of Versailles because they thought the League of Nations would pull us into the war. The US had a democracy. FDR came to power by being elected by the people. To change the country prior to WW2 FDR set up the New Deal programs during the depression to help people get jobs and everything. His goals was WW2 approached were to get the US out of the depression, and simulate buisness. We played a big role in WW2, things like D-Day invasion, and man power. We also supplied food, medical supplies, weaponry, and tons of other goods. We were a part of the allied powers. WW2 impacted us because the great depression ended, it gave a lot of people jobs. We became the strongest country in the world. There was a baby boom. We emerged as the worlds superpower.We started going over the powerpoint again. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland were some of the countrys that were formed because of the Treaty of Versailles...they took land from Soviet Union and Germany. The German reaction to the Treaty of Versailles was that they hated it. The Weimar Republic was Germanys government after WW1 which was democratic. There was a president elected by the people, and a chancelor appointed by the president. Hitler burned dow the Reichstag Building. The Weimar Republic failed because Hitler was going around saying how terrible it was. Then as times were getting a little better Germany went into a depression. In 1933 hitler came to power, and kept blaming the Weimar Republic.The League of Nations was an attempt at a peace keeping organization. It failed though because the US never joined. The main thing they would do in the 1930's was try to keep Hitler quiet, and not really condem him from doing the things he was.Fascism is very closely related to fascism, Benito Mussolini was a fascist.
