Some debating points of the history of the Second World War
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2010, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
The root causes of World War II were generated from the consequences of the previous global conflagration that ended in 1918. The „unjust world” became a reason for discontent, mainly, on the part of Germany. After Hitler's government came to power, Germany was openly prepared for reconsideration of the Versailles Treaty, especially in terms of military status. Following the occupation of Czechoslovakia, Poland was next. However, Warsaw managed to sign an agreement with Great Britain and France in order to get help in the case of German aggression. Thus, Hitler proposed to the Soviet government to conclude a non-aggression pact and to divide the East Europe. Choosing from the system of collective security and the treaty with Germany, Stalin decided to negotiate with Germany. It happened on August 19, 1939. Three days later, German Foreign Minister signed the non-aggression pact; in fact, it was the Treaty of Moscow (also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) at the beginning of World War II. On September 17, 1939 the Soviet Union entered the War and took part in occupation of the European territories until 1941, when Hitler attacked the USSR.
