After ww1 Germany was blamed for the war and had to pay reparations in order to repair damage done in the war!. Hitler began making speeches going against the Treaty of Versailles, which blamed the Germans for causing ww1!. He also started talking about how Germany deserved the land they had lost during the ww1!. Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 which is when he began to build up the Nazis!. In 1936 Hitler marched his army to take over the Rhineland!. Both Britian and France ignored Germany because they did not want to start another war!. Hitler then went after Austria and the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia)!. After attacking theses to places Hitler promised Britian and France that it was the last of the land he was going to take!. He then made a pact with the Soviet Union(Nazi-Soviet Pact) saying that they will both secretly invade Poland and split is up equally!. Hitler went behind the Soviets back and took over Poland without their knowledge!. The Soviets then joined the Allies side and the war started in Europe!. The US did not enter the war untill Pearl Harbor happened in 1941!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Nazi/Stalin Pact made the Soviet Union and Nazi German allies and both in 1939 invaded Poland together and met in the middle!. Great Britain honored her treaty with Poland and declared war on Nazi Germany!. Japan invaded China and sacked several cities especially Nanking!. So in 1939 the Nazis and the Commies and the Japanese started WWII!. The U!.S!. remained neutral!.

Then on December 7th, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, then on December 12th Adolf Hitler declared war against the United States!. Then the world war was fully underway!.

Stalin switched sides, betrayed Hitler, and worked with the Allies against the Axis!.

Even though Japan invaded China, the Chinese Government, the Kuomintang, delayed an offensive against the Japanese as there was a perceived bigger internal threat against China, the Communist Chinese were waging an armed revolution against their Government!. China was experiencing a full-fledge civil war in the middle of a world war!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Broadly speaking (since you ask a very broad question), the Second World War's proximal causes were the desire of the Axis nations to expand and create empires!. Italy wanted to re-create the Roman Empire in North Africa and Greece, the Germans wanted to expand to the East, taking Western Russia so as to have an ample food supply and to create a European Empire (the "Thousand Year Reich"), and Japan was trying to create an Empire in Aisa that they terms the "Greater East Asia Co=prosperity Sphere" which would drive the European powers (and the US) out, leaving them in charge and in control of vast natural resources!. The Western Democracies (primarily the British and the US) wanted to block these moves!. In Europe, Britian and French interests in North Africa and the Mid-East were directly opposed to Italian expansion, and both were allied with Poland, which the German attacked in 1939!. In the Pacific, the US and British were both trying to protect their interests in China (which the Japanese had invaded in 1931) and Britain was also trying to protect its interest in India and Burma!. Those conflicting interests brought the British (French) and Americans into direct conflict with the Axis powers' plans for expansion, and thus, you have the war!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

After WW1, Germany had been extremely weakened in many ways like money due to the Treaty of Versailles and when the Nazi party came to power to restore Germany, Hitler (the leader of the party) began to take over territory in Europe!. While doing so, he started exterminating groups of people like homosexuals and Jews especially!. Then he aimed for conquering more of Europe and that's when the Allies (USSR, Britain, France) stepped in to fight back!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
