Some historians regard World War I as only the first part of a "European Civil War" during the first half of the 20th century while others see the world wars as two completely separate events. Either way, one cannot deny that the second war's origins began with the end of the first war: a resounding German defeat. Because the surrender was on the part of the government, the German soldiers didn't know their military force had been ruined and were told that they were forced to stop by liberal political forces, which began the bitter resentment towards certain people. The war ended with Germany signing five treaties with hundreds of articles, which blamed them for the entire war and gave them severe punishments for their actions. In addition to substantial monetary compensation to Europe, their military was reduced to a skeleton force (approximately 100,000 men in 7 infantry divisions and 3 cavalry divisions), their air force was dismantled, their frontier fortification was eradicated and their high seas fleet eliminated.
Under the treaty, the Germans lost several regions of territory to neighboring states in a bitter concession. To the west, France claimed Alsace, Lorraine, and Saar while Belgium took Eupen and Malmédy, as well as forcing them to de-militarize the Rhineland for insurance. To the north, Denmark was regiven Northern Schleswig, while Lithuania took Memel. Poland was recreated as a state and given access to the Baltic Sea in a strip of land known as the Polish Corridor, which came from parts of East Prussia. In this "corridor" the League of Nations made the port city of Danzig a free and independent city and through free elections returned the Eastern Upper Silesia region to the Poles. Other regions like East Prussia, Western Upper Silesia, and Southern Schleswig voted to remain part of Germany. Germany's territorial losses did not stop with Europe: the Germans lost all of their pre-war colonies, including those in central, western and eastern Africa, China, Indonesia and Samoa. These losses cost the Germans 80% of their pre-war fleet, 46% of total iron production, 16% of total coal production, and 12% of their population. The German people were humiliated by this and suffered its consequences both physically and mentally, causing them to harbor these feelings for years to come.

During the 1930s, Germany secretly built up their military force to restore their power not for revenge against Europe, but rather to get back their place as Europe’s dominant force. The new German military was called the Reichswehr (later named the Wehrmacht) and it chose its members based on their potential, not their previous military records. Because the German military was rebuilt in such a concentrated method, almost as a nation within a nation, they created a highly elite fighting machine that was vastly superior to any other European state. They militarily collaborated with the Soviets to set against Poland, who took advantage of the Soviet political turmoil and took Soviet-held land. With the help of the Soviets, Germany tested out military skills on Soviet ground. They knew they could not win a future war of attrition (using ground and time to gain the advantage), so they would have to win their battles quickly and decisively.
