Questions:

(1) How did the strain and outcome of the First World War contribute to the Great Depression, and the rise of Soviet communism, Italian Fascism, German Nazism, and Japanese militarism? Explain.

(2) Do you think the leaders of Great Britain, France, and the United States between 1918 and 1941 deserve a share of the blame for the outbreak of the Second World War? Explain.
(3) Some scholars have described the World Wars and the period between them as a "Second Thirty Years War."
