What Caused World War II?

Paper Summary:

The paper looks at the general causes of a war. The paper explains that symptoms are always present before a war breaks out, but it is seldom one reason only that is the root cause of war. The paper shows how World War II was caused by a combination of problems, including anti-Communism, a mob mentality and the desire by some to forcibly rule others.

From the Paper:

"Since the end of World War II historians have continued to debate the primary cause of the war's beginning. Because of the many different nations that took part in the war and the many areas of interest within that war dinner tables and conference rooms have bandied the possibilities back and forth for years. While there are actually several causes that created the belief for many that war was indeed necessary the primary cause of the war was the desire by some nations to forcibly rule other nations at that time."
