The Japanese invaded Manchuria because they needed many resources. They also had a growing population. Japan also had newly developed markets, but needed to get new markets. The invasion showed that the League of Nations could not really do anything to stop war. The League of Nations failed during the 1930's. In the 1920's it made people feel good, until the Great Depression set in. Times wer tough and people turned to leaders such as Hitler and invaded to get resources.
The Nuremburg Laws made Jews second class citizen and removed their basic civil rights. Hitler thought that Jews, Gypsies, people with handicapps, Slavic people, homosexuals, communists, socialists, dark skinned people, mixed races, twins, and Jehovah's Witnesses were inferior. The Nazi's had several science experiments done to twins and babies to try and make them perfect. The Perfect Aryan was blonde, blue eyes, tall, and muscular. It was what the Nazi's thought was the Master Race.
