Best Answer

The start of WWII was caused by the German invasion of Belgium, after they had signed a nonaggression pact them. France and Britain had just barely signed a treaty that would help Belgium in case of the German's attack. Russia had also signed a nonaggression pact with Germany, but that was later disregarded. The League of Nations did nothing to stop Hitler's rise to power, and his slow gobbling up of Europe. Italy eventually allied with Germany, as did Japan. The US only joined after Pearl Harbor.
