Churchill and Stalin divided Europe before the end of the war, according to rumours they signed out the new spheres of influence on a yellow envelope, during some conference.\n\nThe issue of Poland as it appeared on the yellow envelope was 50-50. So not a real resolution at that time. I think in Yalta they came to a conclusion that it would be part of the soviet sphere of interest. \n\nSorry I cannot be more accurate, this is what i remember from my classes at university. Find the yellow envelope story.

It is a massive case of an national inferiority complex. They lost two world wars. Their national car is the uglest thing since ... forever.

Maybe I can help here. If western democracies have nuclear weapons, that's a good thing and helps towards world peace and stability. If anybody else has them, obviously that's a very bad thing and leads towards armed conflict and Armageddon. Except for Israel, naturally.\nI hope this has cleared up a difficult area of international geo-politics.

It is exactly because they don't believe in the here and now. They await for their "King" to descend from sky and burn the whole earth and make a new one for them.\n\nDo not be surprised if Third World War is about to break, they would be the ones who wholeheartedly welcome it as well be behind it.

Germany was a major ally of Great Britain and the US after the war.  We extended huge credits to the Reichsbank for them to build up their industries and infrastructure so they could pay the massive war compensations (reparations) that we demanded of them.  The German economy flourished but it took a major hit along with the US in the 1929 stock market crash.  When Hitler came to power in 1933, he used the revived German economy to make arms and build up the armed forces, again using credit from the west, negotiated by his finance minister, Schacht.  By this point, we were appeasing the Germans, keeping them happy to avoid another war.  By the mid 1930's, the new German military was ready.  The air force was tested in the Spanish civil war and then Hitler started taking back German lands.  Poland was last and we all know what happened after that...

It already did start -- over 60 years ago!\n\nVery, very generally, I suppose most would say that it began when hitler invaded Poland in September 1939.  It isn't quite that simple, and many factors occurred that led up to that act, but that's the accepted answer for when it actually began.

The main reason for the hostility between the USA and USSR after WWII was the division of post-war Europe.  Stalin wanted to keep the territories his armies "liberated", such as Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and part of Germany.  The US and UK wanted to give those countries the chance to elect their governments in free elections.\n\nThis, in a nutshell, is how it began.

The Palestinians claim for their country back. After World War II, ISRAEL the country as we know it did not existed. What was there instead was a part PALESTINE. So after WWII All the Middle East was re-organized. Jordan Siria, Lebanon, Israel, but left out or in a very small place the Palestinian people. \nSo in short, The palestinians want their own country, it could happend someday, this is what all the negotiations are all about, but the conditions imposed are that as long as they also recognize Israel´s right to exist as well.\nHopefully someday there will be peaful solutions to the crisis.

The main reason actually started back in World War II.  Because many of the richer nations of that time were heavily bombed caused those countries to put much of their resources into rebuilding.  America was the only capitalist nation that did not have to rebuild the country and that gave America a big head start.

They should go back to Japan. The US gave Japan their islands back after WW2

hi the politial reason for world war to was that germany was getting deapeper and deaper into dept because of the money it had to pay back to england and france because of the first world war. when the plan falied in the usa to get germany right again because of the stock market crash the germans blamed the jews and saw the answer in expantion. this is what hitler called lebons ral or living space. he invaded a few countries but no on cared untill belgium a small country needed to be crossed through to take tettories in france back that were german untill the end of world war 1 when france took them. so when belgium said no to german troops crossing there lines germany invaded anyway and as a result ww2 started. \nsorry about spelling t

Not unless the west really works hard on "embedind" the idea. \nOn their own, they have  been killing off each other for centuries\nand there are still plenty on both sides to go around. \nThey must have a "quota" which once it is reached, they slow down some until more of them are available. Pathetic..just...pathetic

Because the French, Polish, Germans, etc haven't cried loud enough.  Neither have they come to this country and try to force their culture and way of life down our throats.

Or maybe 20 years of economic growth will provide them with the strong economy coupled with their strong military to pursue their imperialistic ambitions westward once again into Europe.\n\nTurkey should stay poor and drown in its own vomit, and it is already happening.

Some of the reasons are for a better life, but migration began long before the 90's, and include Texas. Thier most valid reason (they say) is to claim the land they were forced from, do a little research on Google on Hispanic migration to the west

There was some of this before. Certainly the US, UK & Israel are at 1 of these poles. The Islamic world is another. Others such as N Korea, Cuba etc are a 3rd pole, closer to the 2nd, but clearly distinct. There are many cointries, such as Russia & France who aren't connected to any pole.

The prosperity of the economy after WWII gave people hope and extra money to begin the "happy days" lifestyle.  The US was also creating a rival with the USSR (Capitalism vs. Communism) thus creating a great sense of nationalism throughout the country.
