The League of Nations, was not the best,
Idea the world has had.
Even now, Historians say,
The idea was very bad.

The league made promises
It could not keep,
It failed to help people
Who were in need.

In 1931,
China wanted help,
It needed protection
As it couldn’t protect itself.

But the League failed,
Manchuria was attacked,
Japan had broken
The Kellog-Briand pact.

Then Mussolini,
Some Italian guy
Wanted Abyssinia,
I don’t know why.

But in 1935,
The League failed again.
When it didn’t save Africa,
From the Italian men.

In Germany a man,
Stood aside
Watched these occurrences
With an evil eye.

Hitler was his name,
And he had a plan.
To demolish the treaty,
And become the best man.

In 1936,
He remilitarised,
All the Rhineland in Germany,
France couldn’t believe its eyes.

Then in ‘38
There was a big Anshluss,
Where Hitler got Austria,
With the permission off ‘us’.

In the same year,
But later on,
Hitler invaded
The Sudetenland.

3 million Germans,
Who were rightly his,
Rioted and led,
By the Sude Nazis.

Chamberlain believed,
Hitler was done,
But he was wrong,
Another invasion begun.

In 1939
The whole Czech land,
Was invaded by Germany,
Hitler had made a stand.

Chamberlain agreed
To stop appeasement
He agreed to protect Poland
He said what he meant.

He armed up his country
Was ready to fight,
Fight the long battle,
Which would last many nights.

Meanwhile in Russia,
Hitler did his best,
He would get some of Poland,
And Stalin gets the rest.

So, in 1939,
In October I’m sure
Hitler attacked Poland,
And then there was war.

Britain was mad,
France was mad too,
So they all went to war,
Well what else could they do?
