What to Focus On

  • Peace after the Great War was fragile, not secure.
  • The Great Depression worsened international tensions.
  • The League of Nations failed to stop major aggressions.

  • Mukden incident: staged excuse for invasion.
  • Kwantung Army acted outside direct control of Tokyo.
  • Japan’s aggression expanded quickly after Manchuria.

  • Stalin’s rule was based on fear, control, and repression.
  • The Soviet Union suffered enormous losses from famine and related epidemics.
  • Stalin feared Nazi Germany and the possibility of a two-front war.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Japan’s invasion of Manchuria was a normal border incident and not a major turning point.

The League of Nations stopped aggression only when the great powers supported it, so its failure was mainly due to lack of cooperation from Britain and France.

Hitler’s early foreign policy was mainly peaceful, so his rearmament and diplomatic statements can be taken at face value.
