Cause & Effect: World War II

World War II resulted in the defeat of the Axis powers and left the United States and the Soviet Union as antagonists in the developing Cold War. Through thoughtful narrative supported by fully documented quotes this title begins with A Brief History of World War II and then examines these questions: How Did the Treaty of Versailles Contribute to Hitler's Rise? How did the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor Influence the War's Outcome? How Did the Nazi Invasion of the Soviet Union Change the Course of the War? How Did the End of World War II Contribute to the Start of the Cold War?
