Speeches?• Nationalism was a social cause of WWII. The German people felt

Resentment was a social cause of WWII. For example, Hitler talked about Poland taking part of Germany in his 1939 speech in Danzig, “Germany was a big power and had to look on while far inferior people of a far inferior State maltreated these Germans.”
