Question 5 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Which of the following factors did not lead to World War II?

Answer
A
Many nations were facing high unemployment and impossible economic conditions.
B
Dictators were seizing power in Italy and Germany.
C
The League of Nations was unable to curb aggressive expansionism.
D
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.

Explanation

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 helped trigger World War I, not World War II. High unemployment and economic hardship, dictators taking power in Italy and Germany, and the League of Nations’ failure to stop aggressive expansion all contributed to the conditions leading to World War II. Therefore, “Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated” is the factor that did not lead to World War II.
