World War II Archives: The Storm Clouds Gather

In November 1918, the armistice brought an end to World War I, a conflict hoped to be "the war to end all wars." Yet, just a decade after the Treaty of Versailles aimed to restore peace, the foundations of a new global conflict were already forming. Burdened by war guilt and crippling reparations, Germany’s economy and national spirit faltered, creating fertile ground for discontent and radical ideologies. This episode examines the factors leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the inexorable slide toward World War II. Join Liam Dale as he explores the pivotal events and influential figures, including Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who rose to meet the impending threat and fought to protect the world from the shadow of tyranny.
