The Second World War (1939-1945) - the largest war in world history - in it 72 states and over 80 % of the population of globe participated, military operations have embraced territories of 40 states, has perished approximately 57 million persons.
The Versailles contract has extremely restricted possibilities of Germany to splice the armed forces and has made the German aggression practically impossible. However after Hitler's arrival to authority Germany began to ignore all limitations of the Versailles contract - in particular, has rebuilt conscription and has started to splice exhaustion of every possible military engineering fast. In 1936 German troops have held the Rhine demilitarised zone. While the army of Germany was weak, powers were Антанты (including within the limits of activity of League of the Nations) could without effort force to return it to frameworks of Versailles - however they and did not think of it (besides, that German national socialists at all did not hide the aggressive intents). In March, 1938 Germany has easily connected with itself Austria, in October 1938, as a result of the Munich arrangement, and a unit of Czechoslovakia. In March, 1939 Germany occupied all territory of Czechoslovakia.
It is necessary to mark, what exactly the Versailles peace treaty has delivered Germany in a situation at which extreme political forces could come to power. In the conditions of unemployment and other economic shocks NSDAP as radical force, could catch the majority vote of Germans and become stronger in authority. The radical ideology strongly became stronger in minds of the majority degraded with the Versailles contract (which has laid down Germany in humiliating conditions) Germans.

To this idea «pocket battleships» «Doichland», "Admiral Sheer" and «the Admiral of columns Shpee» have been subordinated created in the late thirties.
