The jet age began when Germany flew the Messerschmitt Me 262

The neo-Nazi movement and George Lincoln Rockwell were spawned by the rise of Adolf Hitler.

The Japanese industrial giant was born out of the ashes.

An entire generation of movies rose in Hollywood, glorifying the US military, ignoring history and relegating the efforts of British and Soviet allies as secondary contributions.

I could go on but your question lacks sufficient specificity to give any clue as to that which you seek.

Answer 2

The German invasion of Poland in September of 1939 was the start of the war in Europe.

However, the actual start of the war began in later part of June 1937, two years earlier with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. China and Japan had already been fighting the war for two years previous to Hitler's invasion. This event is often over looked by historians as World War Two historiography generally focuses on the events of Europe. Though the European powers were very much involved in providign supplies to both China and Japan.

Here is the link to wikipedia article which is rather good:

Answer 3

The nuclear detonations against another began in world war 2, although there has never been another detonation since the war. The invasion of Poland began wwII.

Answer 4

The simple answer is: Germany invaded Poland. But a more complicated answer would be that World War II happened as a direct result of the treaty that ended World War I. In the Treaty of Versaille, Germany was penalized so severely that there was little chance of them recovering. They were at a low point in pride for their country and would listen to anyone who would give them hope, find someone to blame (the Jews) and make them feel good about themselves again. Along came Hitler to fill that need....

Answer 5

In Europe the invasion of Poland by Germany

In Asia the invasion of Manchuria by Japan.

Answer 6

Depends on whom you talk to. If you hold with some, the invasion of Poland in 1939. If you want to go to the real beginning, it would be the Invasion of Manchuria by the Japanese in , I believe, 1937.
