Chapter 6: The path to European war, 1930\u201339<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n

Chapter 6 analyses the origins of the Second World War in Europe. It sets out how the Great Depression deepened existing tensions of international diplomacy and turned them into a full-blown breakdown of relations among the leading powers. In Europe the key event was the collapse of the Weimar Republic and Hitler\u2019s appointment as German Chancellor in January 1933. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy both sought to transform their internal orders by war and revolution abroad. Britain and France attempted to deter the European dictatorships and draw them back into a stable order that excluded the United States and the Soviet Union. The high-water mark of this diplomatic effort to establish a four-power system came in September 1938. In 1938 Britain and France deterred Hitler from risking a European war over Czechoslovakia, but in 1939 he was determined to have his war against Poland regardless of the consequences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
