| |The Big Picture: |

| |The peacemakers at the end of World War I created a League of Nations to prevent future wars, but the treaty brutally punished Germany and inadvertently created conditions that led|

| |to another devastating world war. In the twenty years between the world wars, totalitarian regimes came to power in Italy (Benito Mussolini), Japan (Hideki Tojo), and Germany |

| |(Adolf Hitler). These nations aggressively expanded in Europe, Africa, and Asia which ignited a new world war between the Allies and Axis Powers in 1939. World War II proved to be|

| |a much larger, more costly, and more deadly war than World War I. Unlike the first world war that was fought in only Europe, the second world war was fought in two theaters: |

| |Europe/North Africa and Asia. WWII brought new changes: the discovery of the Holocaust, the development of atomic weapons, and the emergence of two dominant superpowers (the USA |

| |and USSR). At the end of the war, the United Nations was formed to do what the League of Nations did not: maintain world peace. |
