The Great Depression was a cause of World War II.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Great Depression was a cause of World War II?

Unclear. Two scholarly works partially support the claim: one says the Depression abetted Hitler's rise, and another argues the Depression-era struggle for markets was an economic origin of World War II. Neither settles the general causal claim in full.
