What Was WWI's Connection to WWII?


Germany was humiliated by the outcome of WWI.  They were forced to take full blame for the war, and it had destroyed their economy.  Adolf Hitler was a fanatic politician who was attempting to gain power.  He manipulated Germany's feelings by telling them that their hard times would soon be all over.  He promised more jobs, better economy-- basically a new Germany.  The people, desperate and depressed, eagerly ate up his words and looked forward to being a proud nation again...

If your country was in a similar situation, and someone came along who promised to fix it all in exchange for your allegiance, would you follow him?  Even if it meant sometimes turning a blind eye to things he did that might seem a little... off?  Write about that.
