Japan becomes the first aggressor state after WWl because the go and take over Manchuria. They said that technically they didn’t violate their peace treaty because they never declared war on Manchuria. The second aggressor state was Italy. Mussolini was in power of the Fascist government and he wanted to colonize Ethiopia, the only African country that wasn’t colonized by Europeans because they were a Christian country. Next is Germany.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.ll.A. In 1933 Hitler comes to power in Germany by telling them what they want to hear. He repudiates the Treaty of Versailles because he said Germany wasn’t even at that meetingto negotiate terms so it no longer applies to them. The he starts remilitarizing the Rhineland, and he makes Germany self-sufficient. He wants everything to come from Germany so they don’t have to rely on other nations.

So we made the Neutrality Act of 1935 saying we could no longer sell weapons to other nations. We have 3 belligerent countries we can’t sell anything to anyway and if Germany takes over more nations the other countries will need our weapons so we’re basically giving Hitler the go. So he continues.lV.A. Hitler takes half of Czechoslovakia and we pass another Neutrality Act of 1936 saying we can’t loan money to any belligerent state. But Germany has more money than us anywayso it doesn’t affect them.V.A. In the Munich Conference Hitler promises England that he won’t take over any other countries but when the British prime minister gets back to England and says there will be peace Hitler takes over the rest of Czechoslovakia. Vl.The Axis Alliance was formed between Germany, Japan, and Italy, the three aggressor states. They promised to defend each other and would help each other gain territories and defeat Communist
