How Did World War II Began? And Why?
826159
Hitler came to power at a time when Germany was defeated (from WWI), weak, vulnerable, in a depression, and looking for someone to blame for their troubles.  The Jews became their primary scape goat, and Hitler became their sense of hope for the future.\n\nGermany decided to take over the world, starting with Poland.  The Soviet Union was initially an ally in Germany's quest, but then Germany attached them as well.  \n\nThe US initially planned to stay out of the war, and that policy held for the first couple of years.  We were dragged in when Japan invaded the US through their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.\n\nThe rest is...well...history.\n\n;-)

Well, as you said little earlyer about how the war (WWII) wasnt fought, it sounded like you thought it was for no reason... well, because of the war, millions of people died and only 42 percent of those who died were soldiers. But, because of the war, we have learned priceless technolegys in war fighting and also in fixing injuries. The war created many new injuries that the docters back then didnt face before. Also, the communism in germany and spreading was stopped before Adolf Hitler tried to take over Europe and probably more. (although he did control 78 percent of europe at his best)There is a chinese proverb that saids "war is the evil brother of peace" what that means is that although peace might be in the presence, there is always war that comes right around the corner.\nPeace cannot be made without the presence of war.\nThat is all...

which world war? there was two. if it was world war I then ok; world war 1 started on 1914, ended in 1918. June 28, 1914, reason why? Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of Austria) was assassinated by a team of \nSerbian nationalists while he was in Sarajevo to assert\nAustrian imperial authority over Bosnia, a Slavic territory.\n\nThis assassination triggered the cascade of events that quickly produced war world 1, which were fought by; 2 sides \n\nThe Allied Powers\n-\n led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States entered war.\n\nthe Central Powers (this side lost) \n-\nled by the German Empire,Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (aka turkey dinasty.) \nThis is how it went;\nArchduke Franz Ferdinand was assesinated by a group of serbian nationalist while trying to assert austrias control of bosnia.\nAustria extremely mad about this, backed by Berlin, attacked Serbia on July 29 in retaliation, and Germany (a big austrian backer at that time, which secretly wanted a bigger presence in europe) invaded Belgium on August 3. Thus, the war commenced; also Germany and Austria-Hungary are seen as the initial aggressors, and thus, responsible for the outbreak of war world 1. Germany was assigned the guilt although, it was humiliated in 1920 by The War Guilt clause, or Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles/Treaty of Trianon, (proclaimed as the initial AGGRESORS) and required to pay war reparations and all future costs, such as pensions for all the Allied veterans. these payments were stopped however by hitler in 1933, the same year he became chancellor (not fuhrer yet). this war ended in 1918 shortly after the U.S joined-in, in 1917, and the Allied powers defeated the central.\n-\nnow world war II;\ntook place between 1939 and 1945. it IS to this day the biggest, largest and deadliest war ever seen.\nJapan had been fighting china for many years, but the "world" war is said to have begun on September 1, 1939 when as you know Germany with the soviet union (through a secret war pact before the war.) invaded Poland.  two days later france and britain declared war on germany. The "allies" (Poland, British Commonwealth, France) left battles strictly in poland untill May, 1940 Germany invaded Western Europe, taking on the British and French militaries. Six weeks later, france surrendered to germa. \n3months later, Germ, Italy,& Jap signed a mutual defense agreement, Tripartite Pact, and were known as the Axis Powers. soviet union got into the war, when germany double-crossed them and invaded soviet land. forcing unwillingly the soviets to the allied camp. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States (pearl harbor) bringing it too into the war on the Allied side. japan was on axis powers side (nazi side) after these events china instantly joined the allied side, as most of the rest of the world after  1940\nin 1942 Britain, USA, USSR, were fighting Germany and Italy; and all allies (except USSR) were fighting Japan. From then through August 1945, battles raged across all of Europe, in the North Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, throughout China, across the Pacific Ocean and, by air, in Japan.\nItaly surrendered in September 1943, Germany in May 1945. The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war, on September 2, 1945.\nHitler killed himself, along with his wife Eva braun (who he married few days before) and his 2 dogs on April 30, 1945 in a underground bunker there bodies were incinerated by servants by request; because of hitlers fear that what happend to mussolini (hanged by his toes) they would also do to his corpse.\nnote an estimated 60 million people died in this war estimates vary; About 64% of all casualties were civilians.\n3 million of them were polish jews, and 2 million polish "gentiles"

world war three will take place in many countries by its very nature, however it will very like begin in the south china sea, more specifically over the Taiwanese straights, and will begin as a conflict between China and the US over control of the vast oil reserves found there, china has been growing ever more aggressive in its seizures of such waters, and the US is treaty bound to defend them, and strategically must, when this happens is very debatable, geopolitics fluctuate very dramatically, and those in power will pick their moment based on a complex integration of factors. monitor the bilderbergs, that will provide forewarning.

Hi there, \n\nThe Second World War went on for 6 years from 1939 - 1945.\nIt caused a great man and machine loss for the humanity. People suffered, rich countries turned poor, poor countries turned poorer, and the poorer countries had nothing left after the war.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

It officially drew us into World War II.  Just days after the Japanese attack on the Pacific Fleet Germany and Italy declared war on the United States drawing us into both theaters of the conflict.  On December 7, 1941 our Pacific Fleet was all but destroyed by the Japanese sneak attack.  This left us vulnerable in the Pacific and very much on the defensive for the first few months of the war.  We overcame these early obstacles, yet it still took nearly a full 4 years to bring the war to an end.

1. The Military-Industrial Complex. World War II created a vast war industry, that was never really dismantled. In order to manage this vast military machine, the Pentagon was built (during the war). The war machine has been propping up the US economy for the last 60 years.\n\n2. The Presidency itself grew in power thanks to the actions of Fraklin Roosevelt. Truman was an activist president. Eisenhower wasn't as active, but most of his successors have liked wielding presidential power. The more power you want to wield, the more people you need working for you.\n\n3. Simply the growth of the United States. The population has almost doubled since 1940 -- more people, more needs. In order to fill the demands of the American people, there has been a need for more government agencies.

The act that started WWII was Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1938, you can look there. But of course it could be argued that WWII started before that as Naziism took hold of the German country.

The main reason actually started back in World War II.  Because many of the richer nations of that time were heavily bombed caused those countries to put much of their resources into rebuilding.  America was the only capitalist nation that did not have to rebuild the country and that gave America a big head start.

Australia entered World War II shortly after the Invasion of Poland, declaring war on Germany on September 3rd, 1939. By the end of the war almost a million Australians had served in the Australian armed forces and Australian military units had seen combat in Europe, North Africa, and the South-West Pacific. In addition, Australia came under direct attack for the first time in its history. 39,366 Australians were killed and 23,477 were wounded by enemy action during the war.\n\nFollowing the Japanese attacks on South East Asia in late 1941, Australia was attacked itself during the Air raids on Darwin, February 19, 1942, resulting in at least 243 civilian and military deaths. Australian troops were sent home from the Middle East to defend the country from a feared Japanese invasion of Australia. This invasion did not occur, however, and the Japanese did not ever intend to invade the Australian mainland.\n\nThe Statute of Westminster 1931 formally ended most of the constitutional links between Australia and the United Kingdom when Australia adopted it in 1942. The shock of the United Kingdom's defeat in Asia in 1942 and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector. Since 1951, Australia has been a formal military ally of the US under the auspices of the ANZUS treaty. After World War II, Australia encouraged mass immigration from Europe

Hmm, a toughie. Kind of started just after the second world war. The Us poached some nazi rocket scientists (who used to work on the V bombs used to target London). It started with these first jet engines and the start of the cold war. You should have a look at Tom Wolfe; 'The Right Stuff' which gives the whole story...chuck yeager etc....it's also a film if short of time...

World War II, also, The Second World War, or WWII, was the global military conflict that took place between 1939 and 1945. World War II was the largest and deadliest war in history.\n\nThe war began between Germany and the Allies. Germany was later joined by Italy, Japan, and others, jointly known as the Axis. The Allies at first were made up of Poland, the United Kingdom, France, and others. In June 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and in December, Japan attacked the United States. China, which had been at war with Japan since the mid-1930s, also joined the Allies, as eventually did a number of other countries.\n\nItaly surrendered to and then joined the Allies in late 1943. Germany surrendered to the Allies in May of 1945. The war ended on 2 September 1945 with the formal surrender of Japan.\n\nApproximately 62 million people died in the war. Most were civilians, as a result of the large-scale aerial bombing of cities, disease, starvation, and genocide (see the Holocaust). It is guessed that the Soviet Union suffered around 23 million deaths, and that China suffered about 10 million. Poland suffered the most deaths in proportion to its population of any country, losing 5.6 million out of a pre-war population of 34.8 million.\n\nThe war was responsible for the re-drawing of national boundaries and the creation of new nations, the end of western colonialism, and the beginning of the Cold War. [1]\n\nAfter World War II, Europe was informally partitioned into Western and Soviet spheres of influence. Western Europe largely aligned as NATO, and Eastern Europe largely as the Warsaw pact. There was a fundamental shift in power from Western Europe and the British Empire to the new superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, with significant boundary changes and displacement of people as the Soviet Union's borders shifted westwards.\n\nIn Asia, the United States' military occupation of Japan led to Japan's democratization. China's civil war continued through and after the war, resulting eventually in the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The former colonies of the European powers, such as India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, began their road to independence.\n\nFinally, the war saw a number of newly developed weapons that were used against either military and civilian targets. Atomic weapons, long range missiles, jet aircraft, and radar, are only a few of many wartime inventions that changed the nature of future conflict.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WW_2

Hitler wanted to start a war by claiming the Sudetland (West Chezkoslovakia) where "true german arians lived" before WWI. Much to his surprise the British and French agreed to his demands in hopes of "appeasing him". But that only made him think they were cowards and accelerated his invasion of Poland.
