Does the conclusion of the war address the causes you identified in your activity today? Please list what the causes were that you identified (or feel free to just post your work from class) and then discuss whether or not the conclusion of the war resolved things or if it left items hanging for later resolution.
Causes of World War II
Unfair conditions of Treaty of Versailles for Germany leads to rise in German Nationalism
Italy wanted to take over Ethiopia as a display of power
Japan imperialized much of Asia and the Pacific
Resolved
For Germany, the conclusion of the war resolved things because Germany ended up becoming an Ally. For Italy, they were never really an issue in the first place. For Japan, the Allies stripped away its colonies and reformed the government into a democracy.
Unresolved
The war did not solve the conflict between communism and democracy which is seen in the Cold War. The holocaust nearly wiped out an entire demographic in Europe.
