    Hitler demanded the surrender of Danzig because it was a city located in the Free City of Danzig, which was a semi-autonomous state under the protection of the League of Nations.

    • Treaty of Rome

    • Treaty of Versailles

    • Treaty of London

    • Treaty of Aix - la - Chappale

    Correct Answer
    A. Treaty of Versailles
    Explanation
    The Treaty of Versailles is the correct answer because it is widely regarded as one of the main causes of the Second World War. The treaty, which was signed in 1919 after World War I, imposed harsh conditions on Germany, including massive reparations payments and territorial losses. These conditions led to economic instability and resentment within Germany, creating a fertile ground for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The treaty's punitive measures and failure to address the underlying issues of the war ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Second World War.

    • Lenin

    Correct Answer
    A. Stalin
    Explanation
    Hitler signed the Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin. This pact, also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, was signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. It was a strategic move by Hitler to ensure that he would not have to fight a war on two fronts, allowing him to focus on his invasion of Poland. The pact included secret protocols that divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence for both Germany and the Soviet Union. However, this alliance was short-lived as Hitler eventually broke the pact and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.

    Dictators are known for their authoritarian rule and their desire for power and conquest. They often glorify war and conquest as a means to expand their influence and control over territories. Unlike reformers, moderates, and extremists, who may have different goals and approaches to governance, dictators typically prioritize their own personal power and dominance, which is why they may glorify the principles of war and conquest.

    In September 1938 Hitler threatened a war on

    • Yugoslavia

    • Poland

    • Finland

    • Czechoslovakia

    Correct Answer
    A. Czechoslovakia
    Explanation
    In September 1938, Hitler threatened a war on Czechoslovakia. This was a significant event leading up to World War II as it demonstrated Hitler's expansionist ambitions and disregard for international agreements. Hitler demanded the annexation of the Sudetenland, a region in Czechoslovakia with a large German-speaking population. This ultimately led to the Munich Agreement, where Britain and France agreed to Hitler's demands in order to avoid war. However, this appeasement only emboldened Hitler and set the stage for further aggression in the future.
