As
the
Great
War
ended
everyone
was
agreed
on
one
thing
:
that
there
must
never
be
a
Second
World
War
.
____________________
countries
,
judged
to
have
been
responsible
for
starting
World
War
One
were
punished
harshly
in
a
series
of
____________________
.
The
most
important
of
these
was
the
Treaty
of
____________________
between
Germany
and
the
Allies
.
A
different
approach
to
keeping
world
peace
was
adopted
through
the
____________________
of
____________________
,
an
international
organisation
where
member
nations
worked
together
to
solve
disputes
.
Through
the
1920s
it
had
a
number
of
successes
.
Then
in
October
1929
the
American
stock
market
on
____________________
____________________
crashed
.
Its
impact
was
devastating
.
The
world
was
plunged
into
____________________
.
In
these
circumstances
each
country
had
to
look
after
itself
.
Gone
was
the
co
-
operation
of
the
1920s
.

not
feed
its
people
.
The
military
,
frustrated
by
the
democratic
government's
inaction
,
took
the
initiative
and
in
1931
invaded
____________________
,
a
province
of
China
and
a
source
of
food
.
____________________
suffered
badly
too
and
the
people
began
to
blame
the
leader
,
Mussolini
.
As
a
distraction
he
ordered
the
invasion
of
____________________
in
1935
to
unite
the
people
behind
him
again
.
In
Germany
the
people
turned
to
Hitler
.
He
was
determined
to
smash
what
remained
of
the
Treaty
of
Versailles
.
After
regaining
the
Saar
in
1935
and
reoccupying
the
____________________
in
1936
,
he
used
a
combination
of
force
and
persuasion
to
take
Austria
,
the
____________________
,
the
rest
of
Czechoslovakia
and
finally
Poland
between
1938
and
1939
.
Faced
with
this
aggressive
nationalism
from
Japan
,
Italy
and
Germany
the
League
of
Nations
was
powerless
to
act
.
America
had
never
joined
,
so
Britain
and
France
were
the
most
important
members
.
They
also
were
badly
affected
by
the
depression
,
and
they
had
large
Empires
to
protect
.
They
therefore
followed
a
policy
of
____________________
.
It
was
only
when
Hitler
broke
the
____________________
____________________
that
they
realised
they
would
have
to
stand
up
to
him
.
When
he
invaded
Poland
in
1939
,
Britain
and
France
declared
war
on
Germany
.
World
War
Two
had
started
.
