Introduction
WWII began on September 3rd 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany after the German invasion of Poland, Germany had been warned by Britain and France that the consequence of invading Poland was war; yet still they went ahead with the invasion.
It would seem that Hitler WAS the reason there was WWII as he clearly went against clear instructions and if he had have taken head of the orders by Britain and France there would never have been a war. But if you look at what happened before World War Two you begin to realise that Poland was only the final straw, the latest in a string of military take-overs by Hitler those of which together with the complete lack of opposition towards Hitler really lead to the war.
After Germany lost World War One the German economy was absolutely devastated they had no money, no soldiers and no army.

Once Germany had surrendered and admitted defeat, Britain and France decided that Germany was to pay for what had happened in more ways than one. Leading to The Paris Peace Conference, opened on 12th January 1919, meetings were held all over Paris until 20th January, 1920. The leaders of 32 states representing about 75% of the world's population, were present.. However, negotiations were dominated by the five major powers responsible for defeating the Central Powers (Germany and Hungary); the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
After much deliberation five treaties had been drawn together from the Conference that dealt with the defeated powers. The treaties were...
WWII assessment
A pretty good assessment, though quite informally written.
Though I do believe that you have established your main weaknesses in the your last sentence, in your conclusion. "my argument and the facts show, Hitler was not the only cause of WWII; it is clear that it was not ENTIRELY Hitler that was to blame for the war; more specifically it was his extremist love for his people, his yearning for power and the idleness of strong countries to intervene with his actions," this sentence is extremely contradicting. Personally, I believe Hitlers urge to become World power was more associated with 'historical loss', this debate being supported by F. McDonough in "The Origins of the First and Second World Wars." Throughout this article, McDonough claims Hitler's ambition to become World power after being 'spat' on in the previous War. Of course, other factors such as appeasement and the Treaty of Versailles seemed to be a definite provocative move on the Triple Alliances behalf (as confirmed in this article), though the major reason for Hitler's ambitions was the want for Germany to become World power, the infliction of pain from constant loans, economic abuse and an 'over-fined' Germany was the main reason for Hitler to stand up against this loss and begin a new era for Germany.
The constant repetition of an opening sentence bores a reader;
The Rearmament of Germany should have caused the war
The Remilitarization of the Rhineland should have caused war
The Rome-Berlin Axis should have caused the war
Etc etc etc……this essay structure is extremely 'child-like', please consider writing in a more professional or orderly fasion.
Nevertheless, you have come to a great effort with your assessment and shown various causes of WWII.
A fine effort indeed :)
