A little bit of history

There were many experiences in World War 2 that were bad and led to a horrible outcome such as victims of genocide during the war and what became of Germany after the war was all done.
During World War 2 Adolf Hitler who lead the Nazi Party hated mainly the jews but also gypsies,disabled, and homosexuals. He thought that they were not needed and caused way more harm than they did do anything good for the world. He wanted all these people gone. He had people going around to find and kill them. This he realized wasn't a fast enough way to kill them all so he decided he wanted them all in concentration camps to make them work until death. They made the jews and other live in horrible conditions, filled with disease white killed many people. The rough and horrible conditions cause many deaths for them. They started killing them by putting them in rooms and filling it with gas. The experience was horrible for those people who were in the camps but also for the people that worked and forced to kill the people like the jews or possibly be killed themselves.
Germany started the war thinking that it would be a quick win and had no worries. As the war kept going and the U.S. joined and they still kept up hope and continued fighting. The Battle of the Bulge was the final defense from germany before giving in. D-Day was the battle that the allies finally beat germany for good. When germany surrendered their army had become very weak and they had little supplies and lots of people killed. After the war they had a huge decrease in money. Expenses from the war had cost them lots of money. Many cities were ruined from all the fighting that went on during World War 2.
The causes of the World war one had to do with an assassination while world war two happened because of world war one and the outcome of world war one, also the technology from one war to the next got better and made countries way more powerful.
World War one long term causes were things likes Nationalism which is like pride for your own country and wanting your country to be the best. Also nationalism which is strong pride for your country and thinking your should always be the best and be on top. The official start was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and then after that Austria declared war.  Long term for World war two started with the Treaty of Versailles which was supposed to bring peace but ended up not bringing peace at all. Also because of appeasement and the rise of totalitarian. Germany invaded poland when he promised not to take more the Sudetenland but broke the treaty which had already been changed for Hitler. World war one was on of the reason World war two actually started. They both though had to do with Countries wanting other people's land and trying to take it over.
The technology in World war one first was propaganda which was posters and ways of getting information out to everyone in a way they would understand. The developed tanks to use in war. They used boats a lot too to help attack but mostly still tanks to help them bomb. World war two they used the atomic bomb which was the most powerful weapon in the war. This bomb killed millions of people when dropped in a area. They also used radar Eunigma to decode language being sent between people. The Germany used the blitzkrieg method to attack fast and hard on other places. Both wars used planes, planes and tanks to fight in the wars. These were the common things to use for fighting in the war.
World War two was really a continuation of World War one because the same conflicts from the previous war were never solved so when they tried to make peace it didn't work and the problems continued on.
The Treaty of Versailles after world war one was supposed to be to try to stop the wars and bring peace to the countries. It ended up not helping at all because the earlier problems had not been solved. The treaty was only made because of world war one.  The treaty ended up letting hitler make a huge army which was very strong. They also agreed to let him take over Sudetenland.  Chamberlain was the one letting hitler get away with all this stuff. He thought that appeasement would make them happy and content if they get what they want.   Eventually Britain said no when Hitler wanted to take over Poland. Hitler even though promised to take no other land took over he invaded poland and that when world war two started. The war most likely would have happened eventually without the Treaty but because of the way it happened World War one was the main reason World War two happened.
