Brainliest i need writing an argument . do you defend or reject the following statement: “world war ii was a continuation of world war i.”

World War II was a continuation of World War I.

Once the treaty was signed, it was assumed that Germany would pay its dues, about 5 billion dollars, to fix all the damage it had done in WW1. In 1921, the European leaders held a meeting with Germany's leader at the time and discussed how Germany was now required to pay an extra 3 billion dollars for their damage. This was impossible for Germany and basically destroyed their economy. With no money left, this was an eye opener to all of the European countries, to try to take advantage of Germany. Since no money was in their economy, they financially did not have enough money to pay the soldiers in their army. With no money, most of the soldiers quit and found other jobs to support their families. This left Germany wide open for attack.

Damaged Government

Noticing that their country was basically about to be taken over, some of the German leaders and people started to rally friends and family up to save their country and rights. This took about a year and a half, but eventually they convinced enough people to join an army and save their homes. The army was built in 1937 and their goal was to seek revenge for all the mistreatment the European countries were doing towards them. World War 2 began in 1939, with Germany taking the first stab towards a victory. Although many other effects caused Germany to start WW2, the major one was the Treaty of Versailles, which came from WW1. This shows that WW2 was directly impacted by WW1 and was a straight continuation.
