WBBSE Chapter 6 The Second World War And Its Aftermath Analytical Answer Questions

Question 1. What was the immediate cause of the Second World War?
Answer: Immediate Cause Of The Second World War:-

In the Second World War (1939-1945) Germany, Italy and Japan were on one side and Britain, France, the USSR, the USA and China were on the other.

The immediate cause of the Second World War is to be found in a series of acts of aggression by the ‘German leader Hitler. Germany annexed Austria and then demanded Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.

WBBSE Class 9 Second World War Solutions

By the Munich Pact of 1939, the Allies admitted the German claim. Soon after, Germany swallowed up the remaining portion of Czechoslovakia and demanded Danzig from Poland. Britain, France and Poland allied against German aggression.

Great Britain and France were engaged in negotiations with Russia. In the meantime, Germany and Russia concluded a Non-Aggression Pact for 10 years (1939).

Hitler thus emboldened and invaded Poland without any formal declaration of war. Great Britain and France declared war against Germany in September 1939 and the Second World War started.

Question 2. How far was Hitler responsible for the outbreak of the Second World War?
Answer:

Hitler Responsible For The Outbreak Of The Second World War:-

The main cause of the Second World War according to many historians was the aggressive policy of the German dictator Adolf Hitler. He treated the Treaty of Versailles (1919) as a scrap of paper.

After making Germany economically and politically strong he began to disobey the conditions of the Versailles Treaty.

He began to reorganise the German army with the motive of aggressively violating the Versailles Treaty. He followed an aggressive policy towards the neighbouring countries, violating treaties and promises.

He annexed Austria violating the Treaty of Versailles. He violated the Munich Pact and annexed Czechoslovakia. To wreck the Balance of Power, he concluded the Rome-Berlin Axis. Finally, in 1939 he invaded Poland disregarding the warning given by England and France. Thus the aggressive policy of Hitler made the Second World War inevitable.

Key Events of the Second World War Notes

Question 3. How was the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis formed?
Answer:

Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis Formed As Follows:-

Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany, repudiated the Locarno Pact in 1936. He militarized the left bank of the river Rhine. In the same year, Germany and Japan concluded the Anti-Commintern Pact which was aimed against Russia. Hitler also established friendly contact with Mussolini, the Fascist dictator of Italy and formed the Rome-Berlin Axis.

Italy occupied Abyssinia in 1936 in defiance of the League of Nations and found it necessary to secure friends in Europe. In 1937 Italy left the League of Nations and joined the Anti-Comintern Pact. Thus the Rome-Berlin Axis was converted into the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis.

Question 4. When and between whom was the Munich pact signed? What is the importance of the Munich Pact (1938)?
Answer: The Munich Pact was signed in 1938 between Chamberlain (The British Prime Minister), Daladier (Prime Minister of France), Hitler (the Nazi dictator of Germany) and Mussolini (the Fascist dictator of Italy).

England and France followed a policy of appeasement towards Hitler and signed the Munich Pact in 1938 in which the unjust demands of Hitler were accepted.

1. Germany was authorised to occupy four border provinces of Czechoslovakia within ten days.
2. The government of Czechoslovakia was forced to release all the political prisoners of Sudetenland. Sudetenland was also given to Germany. This emboldened Hitler and encouraged him to make more and more territorial demands. At last, when Hitler invaded Poland, Britain and France could not tolerate it and declared war against Germany. Thus the Second World War started.

Nazi German’s foreign policy of Imperialism and militarism.

The progression of events shown above suggests that Nazi Germany confidently pursued and applied foreign policies of imperialism and militarism.

Question 5. What is meant by the policy of appeasement? Who followed the policy of appeasement and why?
Answer: Policy Of Appeasement:-

The policy of appeasement means giving a person or party whatever they want. By 1939 aggressive militarism of Italy and Germany in Europe and Japan in East Asia created alarm. However, throughout the aggression, the great powers like England and France remained inactive and timid. Their policy of doing nothing or little when facing militarism is known as the policy of appeasement.

The Prime Minister of Britain, Neville Chamberlain and Edward Daladier, the Premier of France, followed the policy of appeasement. Neville Chamberlain believed that some of the territorial clauses of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) were unnecessarily harsh to Germany and that an appeasement policy towards Hitler would prevent another war.

He believed that if Germany became strong and if she was satisfied by the amendment of the Treaty of Versailles, she would stand as a bulwark against the communist influence of Russia.

Impact of WWII on Global Politics

Question 6. What is the  ‘Cash and Carry’ policy?
Answer: Cash And Carry Policy:-

3. The USA would help Greece and Turkey with 400 million dollars to free these countries from Soviet influence.
   This declaration of Truman is known as the Truman Doctrine.

Question 11. What was the Cold War?
Answer: The tension of war without an actual shooting of war has been termed the Cold War. Cold War is a state of tension between countries in which each side adopts policies designed to strengthen itself and weaken the other by falling short of actual war. It is a kind of verbal war and even more terrible than the ‘Warm War’. It is an atmosphere of artificial tension and distrust either due to virtual utterances or war-like preparation which may at any moment degenerate into a ‘Warm War’ or a shooting war.

Question 12. What was ‘NATO’ and ‘Warsaw Pact’?
Answer: After the Second World War USA and Soviet Russia who had helped each other in the Second World War became rivals and a competition arose between them to assume leadership of the world. In 1949 USA formed a military alliance called 16 nations as its members.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, apprehended- led an invasion of East Europe and Russia by the NATO army. She entered into the Warsaw Pact with East European countries in 1955.

Question 13. Write a note on the evolution of internationalism after the Second World War.
Answer: The destructive effect of the Second World War (1939-45) opened the eyes of different countries of the world. They realised that peace and cooperation could not be established without cooperation and trust. They also realised that war was not the ultimate means to solve problems.

The international peace organisation League of Nations which was established after the First World War collapsed before the selfish motives of different nations. International cooperation failed in the field of politics and the Second World War broke out in 1939. After the Second World War, different nations again realised the importance and necessity of mutual cooperation.

They decided to solve their problems through peaceful meetings so that the damage of war might be removed forever and peace might be established among different nations of the world. The United Nations Organisation (UNO) was established in 1945 the sole aim of which was to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations and international cooperation.
