In world war 2 Germany had already conqured most of Europe and showed no signs of stopping. If we had not saved their rears the map might look totally different now. Even if they stopped to secure Europe and recoup once finished with Europe (the smart thing to do) it was feared and likely they would push into the Americas, as I think they would have. Thus, we had to stop them or be conqured. Holocaust plays no role as it was not public knowledge until after. \n\nAlso, Pearl Harbour was a direct attack by another nations military. We were at war, like it or not. Japan also invaded Alaska and was dug in on land, something that you don't hear much about. Japan was allied with Germany although Germany told them to focus on Russia and meet in Moscow. Why a relatively tiny island would attack the US when it wasn't finished with China is absurd. WWII made us what we are and perhaps we didn't have the rep we have now and they thought they could frighten us. \n\nTerrorists are not attempting to invade or occupy America and do not come from any particular country. The goals of terrorists are uncertain at best. \n\nAlso Viet Nam changed things and created a more sensitive culture. We got to see war first hand in full color unedited by military journalists. Nam was the first war where civilian journalists were brought along and at the time everyone was excited to be on TV. The journalists went where they pleased and hopped on any chopper that had room. The blood and guts went straight to your living room at the independent news producers discretion at 5:30 each evening as famalies sat around and watched during diner. A mistake that the military will not repeat. The civilian media today is lead by the hand 'for thier own protection.' Nam also gave rise to the peace and love culture. In other ways it is a much different world today. \n(I can stop here but... some other thoughts)\n\nSometimes it seems like the terrorists just want us to leave the middle east alone. I'm curious as to what you think or are told that the terrorists agenda is. Yes they want to terrorize and kill Americans but what for. In Ireland the terrorists wanted independence from Britain, lack the ability for a military victory so, they hope to scare them into a concession. The definition of terrorist is one that attacks civillian targets in order to pressure a govt into something. What do the muslim terrorists want (not that we should give it or accept it)? Death to the infidels? Bombs every five years won't kill us all. There is a political motivation for these high profile bombings. Don't support Israel is an obvious one. Many in Iraq just want to drive us out of Iraq (seems fair). \n\nIraq seems more like a gurilla war than terrorists as well. Civillians may be harmed but the intended targets are usually military, local police, and the coalition govt. All of which are legitimate military targets so it's not terrorism. Trying to frighten us by bombings is not a good thing but not an imminent threat either. Protecting our home from terrorists is a job for police, FBI and CIA not soldiers in the middle east. I find it hard to even think of the war on terror as a war at all. It theoretically includes all terrorists not just muslim ones. They occupy no territory and don't have much unity. Remember Timothy McVay was a solo terrorist. Also certain militant Nazi groups in the mid west are classified as terrorists. \n\nThe mid east has fought for a long time and even if Iraq is stabilized our actions have not made us many friends there. Thus does not lessen terrorism but increases the number those who wish to do us harm. Although I'm just now starting to think the plan was to fix Iraq and show them how nice it can be and other nations may want it. Iraq was chosen because it's easiest and nobody really liked Saddam anyway, even there. If that's the plan it doesn't seem to be working.\n\nSomeone mentions 9/11 and Iraq. The t

It's obvious that you are not a "historian" by any stretch of the imagination.  To be truthful with you, WW II started on 11/11/1918.  The treaty of Versailles was not inforced by the "League of Nations" as it should have been.  The "Great Depression" which began in 1929 devastated the world's economy.  With this having been said, Hitler was a very charasmetic person who played on the German people's fears and their anger.  \n\nGermany began by annexing Austria as well as other Germanic counties that were broken up due to the Treaty of Versailles.  His emphasis of German "nationalism" united the former empire, thus creating the "Third Reich".  Poland was annexed (by invasion) in September of 1939 and this was the "last straw" for England.  France was invaded  in 1940 and quickly fell.  \n\nThere was no one left to stand against Germany (Hitler) but England.  Hitler then began his "blitzkreig" against England. \n\nThe U.S. entered WW II on December 7, 1941 due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the destruction of our Pacific fleet.  \n\nI could go on and on but, I don't think that this forum could handle much more information.  May I suggest that you read some books on WW I as well as WW II and you will see for yourself the political events that lead up to the beginning of WW II.  And of course you will find out that most of Hitler's conquests were to gather the raw materials that would have enabled him to conquor the entire world.  \n\n"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".  This is why we (U.S.) must oppose tyrinical governments such as Iraq and the terrorism that he (and others like him) would like to inflict upon The United States of America.  Read, read and read some more.

It already did start -- over 60 years ago!\n\nVery, very generally, I suppose most would say that it began when hitler invaded Poland in September 1939.  It isn't quite that simple, and many factors occurred that led up to that act, but that's the accepted answer for when it actually began.

The immediate Causes of World War II are generally held to be the German invasion of Poland, and the Japanese attacks on China, the United States, and the British and Dutch colonies. In each of these cases, the attacks were the result of a decision made by authoritarian ruling elites in Germany and Japan. World War II started after these aggressive actions were met with an official declaration of war, armed resistance or both.

No it was not.  It singled out Germany for punitive measures and not the Austro-Hungarian Empire for such measures.  It so financially was hard for Germany and led to WWII.
