This work argues that the primary causes of the second world war are imperialism, and the craving of the nations who previously lost the war (germany, italy, japan) for power, predominance, and revenge against the other countries for depriving them of their “fair share” and “[their] place in the sun.” After the anti-comintern pact, fascist states became more and more aggressive. the US and england turned a blind eye to northern China, where Japan was invading. They did this because they hoped that Japan would invade the Soviet Union, which would have been beneficial, because it would be two problems taking care of each other. However, this did not happen. Fascist states in Europe also began to become more aggressive. Germany and Austria unified. Czechoslovakia was in peril: their independence was at stake, but they still refused to accept help from the Soviet Union. The conflict of interest between the two imperialist groups only served to benefit the Fascist states.
