Archduke Franz Ferdinand Assassination
The cause of ArchdukeFerdinand's assasination was that people didn't want Ferdinand to be the heir of the throne. The effect would be Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the death and then tensions grew. Allies made the groups larger and World War 1 began. -
Treaty of Versallies
The cause of the Treaty of Verasilles was because Germany had attacked France and got lots of countries involved. The effect was, it officially ended World War One and gave consequences towards Germany. Germany had to shorten the military, pay for destruction, but as many years past, Hitler changed many rules. -
German Depression
The cause of the German Depression was the Treaty of Verasilles because they had to pay alot of money since the blame was on them. That lead to money becoming worthless. The German Depression hurt Germany in a bad way. It raised up prices of supplies because of how scarce they were. Also people didn't always have food and clothes available. As well as many other basic supplies. The depression also effected America. America slowly became part of the depression as loans were given away. -
Holocaust
The cause of the Holocaust was that Germany was desperate to have a leader. They chose Adolf HItler. This because he convinced them to give up all their rights and be more powerful so he could eventually take over Europe. Europe lost about 2/3 of its Jew, about 6 million were killed. Many of the Jews lost family and friends which effected them in a terrible way. The holocaust also effected them in other ways. Over a million of Jews were homeless and were searching for new lives. -
Invasion of Poland
The cause of the Invasion of Poland was that England and France let Germany take over small countries until Germany went to invade poland because they wanted to eventually take over the world. The effect of that would be tensions grew between Germany and Britain/France. Germans said the invasion was for defense purposes but others were not convinced so war was declared on Germany. The invasion caused WWII to begin. -

People were not allowed to cross the wall and families were also separated from each other. They were stuck in one side for years and years.
