In which year did World War II begin?
1 Answer
The official designation for the start of World War 2 is 1939, when German Nazis invaded Poland. However, tensions began to rise in the early 1930s.
Explanation:
When Germany invaded in Poland in 1939, it was in complete aversion of the Munich Agreement. This officially sparked WW2.
However, when the Great Depression hit in 1929, national governments began to collapse, and hastily look for ways to re-stabilize their nations. Countries like US, UK, and France saw their governments take control of the economy, while nations like Japan, Germany, and Italy, saw the rise of fascist/communist economic systems. Tensions between these economic peaks broiled throughout the 1930s.
Alas, in conclusion, it is safe to say 1939 as the beginning of WW2. However, the road to WW2 had been paved since the early 1930s.
