Road to WW2: 1935 - 36 - Epic History Reaction

简介：

The march toward World War II accelerated dramatically between 1935 and 1936. In this reaction to Epic History, we examine the pivotal years when Italy, Germany, and Japan moved from ambition to open aggression. From Mussolini’s invasion of Ethiopia and Hitler’s remilitarization of the Rhineland to Japan’s expanding dominance in East Asia, these actions exposed the weakness of international institutions and the failure of collective security. This video explores how appeasement, economic pressure, and political hesitation emboldened authoritarian regimes and made a wider war increasingly inevitable. By the end of 1936, the warning signs were no longer subtle—the world was on a collision course.
