It officially began with the invasion of Poland by the Nazis (Germany) on September 1, 1939. Because of this, Great Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany on Sept. 3. However, Germany had been building up to war for a few years. In 1938, Germany annexed Austria and then the Sudetenland (areas along the border with Czechoslovakia), and in 1939, Germany occupied all of Czechoslovakia.
