This analysis explores the key events leading up to World War II, focusing on Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, which faced minimal resistance from the League of Nations and the U.S. In 1936, Hitler's troops marched into the demilitarized Rhineland, defying the Treaty of Versailles. The Sudetenland was annexed with little pushback due to the appeasement strategies of France and Britain. Additionally, Japan's actions in 1937, including the invasion of China and the bombing of the U.S. gunboat Panay, highlight the escalating tensions that foreshadowed global conflict.
