The end of the First World War , the debate of the Paris Council, and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles . The Imperialist International League has left many countries with shadows such as power, speculation, arrogance, sophistry, selfishness, inhumanity, etc. At the same time, the victorious and the defeated countries also signed a series of treaties, namely Saint-Germain contract, Nai contract, Trianon contract, and Sefour contract.
The six-month Paris Ghetto, imperialism has temporarily suppressed the conflict in World War I. Under the Versailles system, a new power order was formed. The failure of the defeated country invaded the defeated country had to compromise with the strong compromise. They knew deeply that the three giants threatened to start a new war with a disagreement. It is conceivable that this result does not resolve the conflicts between countries at all. The seemingly peaceful appearance actually hides various crises and complaints behind it.
Versailles system, at this moment, also planted the seeds of the outbreak of World War II . This seed can only temporarily not experience the sunshine and the baptism of wind and rain. You can only remain silent in the dark soil, and when it absorbs more air and nutrients, it will break out of the ground at any time. The outbreak of the world economic crisis in 1929 became a favorable condition for the seeds of World War II. After the end of World War I, the United States occupied half of the world's gold reserves . In 1929, the total industrial output value reached its peak. In October, the U.S. stock market collapsed . An economic crisis that affected the world broke out, and about a quarter of the U.S. labor force was unemployed. In order to maintain the work of white people, U.S. authorities expelled 1.8 million citizens. The economic crisis spread rapidly to other European countries such as Canada and Japan, and then affected other colonial and semi-colonial countries, leaving none of the entire capitalist country spared. Industrial crisis, agricultural crisis, , trade crisis, monetary and credit crisis intertwined. It lasted until 1933. During the crisis, the world's industrial production fell by more than 44%, the unemployed population reached more than 40 million, the unemployment rate of various countries was between 30% and 50%, and the international trade fell by 65.9%, causing material losses of more than 250 billion US dollars. It is 80 billion more than the $170 billion lost in World War I , which is also an unprecedented and longest crisis in the history of capitalist development.
In order to resist the crisis and prevent foreign goods from entering the country, countries deliberately raised tariffs. First the United States and then the United Kingdom, other countries followed suit, which eventually seriously affected the normal order of international trade. This led to an excessive history between 1929 and 1933 from peace to war. Under the crisis, frictions of interests, trade, political, and military frictions gradually surfaced, and eventually ignited the fuse of World War II .
Each country uses various means to maintain trade, dump cheap goods in other countries, and the financial field has also abandoned gold standard , causing its own currency to devalue. First, the UK took the lead, followed by Swedish , Norwegian , and Japan. Later it increased to more than 50 countries. Even countries with close financial ties have emerged, forming a group confrontation, and the British pound group, the US dollar group, the Japanese yen group, etc. have opposed each other, forming a situation of confrontation between the state group.
Under the crisis, Germany was at its peak in 1932, hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt and more than 6 million people were unemployed, accounting for 50% of the national population. The ruling class supported and helped the monopoly of the bourgeoisie, passed the harm on to working farmers, increased taxes, and exploited the people. The government plundered billions of mark . This worsened social contradictions and provided strong help to fascists coming to power, and ultimately laid the foundation for Hitler to come to power.
In the crisis, Japan's domestic market was already small, with 5 million farmers completely bankrupt, almost all factories closed, 4 million people unemployed, selling children and daughters, the whole family committed suicide, neighbors committed suicide collectively, and countless girls were sent to brothels. It can be called a hell on earth, and it finally headed to the path of invasion of China.
Marx's prophecy has been confirmed. For profit, capitalists can sell the ropes that hang themselves.The disaster of the world economic crisis has changed the face of many countries. The internal contradictions of capitalist countries have become uncontrollable, providing strong conditions for military conflicts. The imperial powers have resumed the idea of dividing the world and snatching resources. At the same time, it also accelerated the war's agenda. #Telebrity Creation Challenge#
