This resource is a chapter out of the book which focuses on the causes of World War II. The book in its entirety can be beneficial, but this chapter in general focuses on the causes. This resource offers great insight as to what caused tension and issues leading up to the war. This is from a book so it reads as a book, which may be easier for some to follow along with better. The chapter is sectioned off based on each cause and topic. I highly recommend this source.
