WWII resulted from the rise of totalitarian, militaristic regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan, a phenomenon stemming in part from the Great Depression that swept over the world in the early 1930s and from the conditions created by the peace settlements (1919-20) following World War I . WWII began on Sept. 1, 1939, when Germany, without a declaration of war, invaded Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany on Sept. 3, and all the members of the Commonwealth of Nations, except Ireland, rapidly followed suit. The fighting in Poland was brief. The German blitzkrieg, or lightning war, with its use of new techniques of mechanized and air warfare, crushed the Polish defenses, and the conquest was almost complete when Soviet forces entered (Sept. 17) E Poland. While this campaign ended with the partition of Poland and while the USSR defeated Finland in the Finnish-Russian War (1939-40), the British and the French spent an inactive winter behind the Maginot Line , content with blockading Germany by sea.

I think the war began as soon as we put bush back in office. He knew that Iraq would get him for being disloyall, and not keeping promises. The only reason that he weent to war was to keep his families rep up for going to war! The only problem is...............HE AINT WINNING! We need to stop looking for Ossama. Or the oil. What ever this man is looking for. AND BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME. Leave him to do all the work. Let him get hisself killed.
