HIST 405N Week 6 Discussion 2, World War II . Following the German invasion of Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany in 1939 (Keene, Cornell, & O'Donnell, 2013). An even that was a driving force leading to World War II was Hitler and the Nazi Party. In Germany, Hitler and the Nazi party gained power through the use of propaganda, thus many people were fed the views of Hitler. The views truly shaped the minds and ways of behavior of many people. It is important to note that Germans were desperate, hoping for an economy change capable of restoring the German national pride (Keene, Cornell, & O'Donnell, 2013). Hitler presented himself as the candidate capable of providing the German people everything and more than what they were wanting. Soon after, in 1939, Hitler became dictator of Germany (Keene, Cornell, & O'Donnell, 2013). It was not secret that Hitler was resentful about the restrictions put on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles and even though many of his speeches were concerning peace, Hitler was nevertheless rearming Germany.
