Finding the Cause

The Second World War began on September 1, 1939, when Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. This action prompted the response of France and the United Kingdom, which had signed mutual assistance agreements with Poland. As the fighting intensified in Europe, two main alliances were formed: the Axis Powers and the Allies.

The Second World War continued until 1945 and left a devastating balance with millions of dead and wounded people, as well as a significant transformation of the world's political and territorial order.Also, it laid the foundation for other confl icts in the second half of the 20th century.
