The beginning of the war some would argue that the Second World War began with a German invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939 and the British conclusion that without German withdrawal there would have been a World War. Needless to say, there was no German withdrawal and WWII began, with Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on the 3rd of September 1939
Some would argue that the second world war was the second round of the first world war. Although the major powers had not yet realized that the continuation of the war between the Axis and the Allies would lead to the end of European world domination and the destruction of colonial empires. By resuming the war, they have only ensured their destruction, no matter who wins the outcome.
Some have called the Treaty of Versailles ‘cruel and unreasonable’ and therefore the offspring that secured the second world war. Germany will try to rectify this flaw. Infarct, the Treaty of Versailles was less powerful than the very principles the Germans intended to impose on the Russians in 1917/18 when Russia was forced to separate large territories and pay huge compensation to the Brest-Litovsk Treaty.
