Question

right answer gets my vote

Answer 1

World War II, also known as the Second World War, was the largest and deadliest war in history. Generally regarded as taking place between 1939 and 1945, with roots in earlier conflicts such as the Second Sino-Japanese War, it culminated in the dropping of the atomic bomb.

The Allied Powers, led by the British Empire and Commonwealth, the Soviet Union, and the United States, defeated the Axis Powers, led by Germany, Italy, and Japan.

The war was fought in response to the military aggression of Nazi Germany under the fascist dictator Adolf Hitler, and the imperial ambitions of Japan in Asia.

The Second Sino-Japanese War began in 1937 when Japan attacked deep into China from its foothold in Manchuria. On July 7, 1937, Japan, after occupying Manchuria in 1931, launched another attack against China near Beijing.

Poland and France pledged on May 19, 1939 to provide each other with military assistance in the event either was attacked.

When Finland rejected these demands, the Soviet Union attacked on November 30, 1939, which started the Winter War

Germany invaded Denmark and Norway on April 9, 1940, in Operation Weserübung, in part to counter the threat of an impending Allied invasion of Norway

On May 10, 1940, the Germans invaded Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, ending the Phony War

Italy invaded Greece on October 28, 1940, from bases in Albania after the Greek Premier John Metaxas rejected an ultimatum to hand over Greek territory.

Answer 2

Sept 1, 1939 (The day Germany invaded Poland) is considered the beginning of World War 2

Answer 3

In March of 1938 Austria "agreed" to become part of Germany. No shooting, but that got it rolling.

September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland to start the shooting part of the war.

For America it started December 7, 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Boy was that a mistake.

Many believe that WWII was inevitable once the treaty of Versailles was signed (Jan 10, 1920), saddling Germany with more debt than it could ever hope to repay. So maybe that's a good date depending on how you view history.

I wonder when WW3 will start. Has it already?

Answer 4

Invasion of Poland: September 1, 1939. Britain and France Declare war on Germany, USSR attacks Poland from the rear. Before this date, there were no formal declarations of war.
