Why is the League of Nations often called a "toothless tiger"?
Answer explanation
A good phrase to call the League is a "toothless tiger," threatening a lot but with no real chance of following through with its threats. The League's main task was to prevent wars but it didn't have the power to achieve that. It was a toothless tiger because it had no army and was weakened as America didn't even join.

How did Stalin come to power and maintain control?
Answer explanation
In 1924 Lenin died of a stroke. Joseph Stalin was the General Secretary of the Communist Party. Stalin used this position to outmanoeuvre his rivals, including Leon Trotsky, who had been the main organiser of the 1917 Revolution. Trotsky was exiled in 1928 and by the end of 1929 Stalin was the USSR's undisputed dictator. In 1936-1938 in the Great Purge, Stalin killed all of his critics in the Communist Party and some Red Guards were killed. Russia became a state in which people's lives were controlled by terror, strict censorship and propaganda that portrayed Stalin almost as a god.

Was the new USSR a true Communist state?
Answer explanation
Josef Stalin turned it into more of a totalitarian dictatorship. Communism as practiced in the Soviet Union was not the same communism that Karl Marx imagined. Marx's philosophy had a communist state run by an absolute democracy. A communist government would have been all the people in the country, not a strong central government.

Why was Hitler able to win the election in 1933?
Answer explanation
Hitler was chancellor and he persuaded Hindenburg to issue a Decree for the Protection of People and State. This allowed for imprisonment without trial and abolition of freedom of the press, speech and assembly. The Nazis used the decree to restrict campaigning by other parties during the 1933 elections. The Nazis won only 43.9 percent of the vote, so they formed a coalition with the small Nationalist Party and barred the Communists from taking the seats they had won.

How did Hitler become such a powerful dictator and lead Germany to war in 1939?
Answer explanation
Once entering politics, Hitler discovered he was gifted in giving speeches. Like most extremists, Hitler used manipulation techniques, lies and mesmerism to gain power and control. His speeches were powerful and people believed what he said. He joined the Nazi party and soon became its leader. He was elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and he studied his idol, Benito Mussolini of Italy, about how to install a fascist government and become dictator. Soon Hitler was dictator of Germany.
Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939 (the Polish-German war of 1939). This marked the beginning of WW2.
