The Second World War proved to be more destructive than the First World War. It was certainly more extensive than the First World War and its warfare was technologically more advanced.

1. The ‘League of Nations’ intended to avoid conflicts between nations.
2. The Nazis under the leadership of Hitler grabbed power in Germany. Hitler began to escalate Germany’s military power so as to avenge the demeaning conditions imposed on Germany by the Versailles treaty.
3. Hitler focused on increasing the strength of the military swell as the navy.
4. Meanwhile, Soviet Russia, a communist nation was becoming more powerful. It made the nations like England, America, and France uneasy.
5. Soviet Russia and imperialist Germany viewed each other as arch-enemies. Keeping this in view, England and France ignored Germany’s advances, thinking that it will keep Soviet Russia’s increasing power under control.
6. In 1938, Hitler won the Sudeten province in Czechoslovakia, which was populated majority of people of German origin.
7. In 1939, he attacked Poland. Actually, Poland was looked upon as a neutral country by all European nations. In spite of this, Hitler attacked and conquered Poland. Therefore, England declared war against Germany.

As a result, there are reasons for World War II.
