     World War II started on September 1, 1939, when Alois Schicklegruber (better known as Adolph Hitler) and Iosif Vissarionovich Djugashvili (better known as Joseph Stalin) invaded poor, defenseless Poland. England had some sort of treaty with Poland and so entered the war, which further dragged France in. The whole point of the war was to stop German aggression. Germany had already conquered the Saar Basin, the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria before war was officially declared.  

     World War II finished on September 1, 1945, when the Japanese Empire signed the peace treaty aboard the USS Missouri. Naturally, the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki probably had something to do with incentivizing the Japanese to surrender.

All the answers stated before were wrong.

The events that actually leaded up to world war 2 are the following

1) Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany
2) Hitler occupiesRhine land which was forbided by the treaty of versailles
3) hitler invades Austria and no one says any thing
4) hitler mobilizes his forces to invade chezchosolvakia but now the french and British took action.
5) Munich Agreement was singed according to which Hilter was given sudetland(part of chezcosovakia) but he was now to stop invading more countries.
6) Only after 6 months hitler breaks the treaty by invading the rest of Chezchosolvakia. (british and french draw line on POland)
7) ironically Hitlers next conquest was the invasion of Poland. But at the same time he didn;t want to fight a war at both ends, since he thought that the soviets would side up with polish.
8) Nazis-soviet pack is signed in 1938, according to which germany and soviets agreed no to attack each other ( and secretly divided poland)
9) Sept 2 1945 Germany attacks Poland. 2 days later Britain and France declare war on Germany.

            That's how it went (please dont give wrong info)

If you want to be scarily technical, then you can go further back than the simple statement of "Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany" and delve into the facts of when Hitler and the NSDAP (Nazi's) decide to take forceable actions against politicians in Austria and land Hitler in jail. This gives Hitler time to write his book, Mein Kampf and gain more support - after this, the Weimar Republic send Germany into an Economical Decline after the Wall Street Crash and Germany experiences Hyper-Inflation.

Then later on, the Weimar get scared and basically the only option that President Hindenburg can see is to enstate Hitler as chancellor, so i blame the Weimar Republic.

pearl harbor was the reason that we had wwII2.
On October 2nd 1938 a survey asked if England and France went to war against Germany, do you think that the United States would stay out of it? Fifty percent of the people said that the United States would not stay out. Those fifty seven percent were right.
   The United States entered the war due to the attack on pearl harbor on December 7, 1941.
