Q14. Passage:World War II was the result of both short-term and long-term events. In the short term, Hitler's hankering for territory led Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany after he invaded Poland in 1939. The long-term cause can be traced back to the Treaty of Versailles, signed in June 1919 at the end of World War I, which ignited resentment in Germany. Despite Woodrow Wilson's eager work at the Paris Peace Conference for a just peace, he could not persuade the Allies that penalizing Germany would create new problems. Instead, the Allies forced Germany to accept sole responsibility for World War I and demanded the payment of millions of dollars in reparations.Based on the passage, what does the word 'hankering' mean?English — Passages — Question 14 of 56A.
