It started with the German invasion of Poland. A pact between Between Britain and Poland meant that Britain had little choice but to declare war on Germany. However this was only the trigger cause of the war. The Long term causes include the harshness of the Treaty of Versailles, the failure of the League of Nations and the rise of aggressive nationalism. Medium term factors include the rise of dictators, the failure of appeasement and the Nazi Soviet Pact.
