The Twilight of Zapatismo.

Mexico was in cheos, mainly because of the revolutionary leaders during the Mexican revolution. During the Mexican war, Mexico printed off more money than they had and caused hyper inflation, Mexico went through famine and desieses and many financial problems. Many of Gonzales troops start to die because of the bad conditions and deseases. ( Gonzales was mean, he killed a lot of men and women, threatened people). Everyone was going through really hard times. Carranza was least affected by all this, or so it seemed, he wanted to modernize and mobilize. He was anti clericalism and wanted the catholic church under his control. He wanted Mexico to stay neutral in WWII, but he had many problems, his main problem was the military, he had to make sure the army was under control. Felix Diaz (Porfirio Diaz's nephew) vs. Corranza. Corranza felt threatened by him because the US liked him. The felicistas were as hard to defeat as Villa and Zapata. The felicistas movement was helpful to Villa and Zapata, it drew Carranza's focus away from them. Meanwhile Zapata is trying to attack tagrets only to impress foreign consuls. Carranza became frightened and wanted to get rid of Zapata, and eventually killed him in April 1917. Because of this Zapata became an icon in Morelos.

Long term-

Treaty of Versailles- Germans were treated harshly after World War I and soon came to a common conclusion that they were which formed into Nationalist, another long term cause of WWII.

The League of Nations- this League was created to provide immediate help to countries that were a threat, or if they broke any part of the treaty, but failed. This action showed Hitler that he would not be punished for his consequences and so he began to go against the Treaty.

Industrialism- many things got better and progressed. This includes weapons, and machinery which resulted in the appeal for war.

Short term-

The Czech crisis- Chamberlain handed over Czechoslovakia to Hitler in an attempt to please him. On 1939 Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia. No shots were fired. Germany got the Sudate land, the border where people speak German. The League of Nations did nothing, the only thing the U.S. did was put a 25% tax on German goods

Germany’s rearment-

Germany’s army increased their troops to 400,000 troops even though the agreement of Treaty of Versailles stated they could only have 100,000. à the League of Nations did nothing.

à France feels scared, but no one is willing to help. No consequence for Germanys actions.

Invasion of Poland-

Germany invaded Poland. France and Britain figured they were next to be invaded, so they formed an ally, and declared war.

No consequence once again for Germany.
