Abstract:

In fact the national problem was another potential cause for World War II.The Axis, consisting of Nazi Germany, Fascistic Italy and Japan, not only had implemented the measures of genocide in some invaded countries before the war and in wartime, but also repeatedly took advantage of national problems inside the related countries to instigate antagonisms among nations.It was a historical evidence of distorting and abusing the principle of national self-determination, which served their strategic targets.The matter is worth keeping in mind for ever.

Key words: the Axis, national problem, nationalism, right of national self-determination
