Learn and Understand World War 2

This book contains all of the events, causes and aftermaths of WWII in a nutshell. The war was brought about generally in light of the fact that Germany and Japan were not pleased with the way the geopolitical framework was set up after the end of WWI. Germany was not satisfied with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which stipulated that they couldn't raise major military forces; it also took parts of their region away, and made them pay war reparations.

The Japanese felt that they were entitled (and required) a realm in East Asia and the Pacific. The two of the major forces attempted to settle what they saw as issues with a geopolitical request. When they went "too far" WWII began, first in Europe, then in the Pacific.
