Best Answer

Japan bombing Pearl Harbor got the USA involved into the war.

The war officially began as German troops marched into Poland on Sep 1, 1939.

However, a secret agreement between England and Poland prior to this and not known for years after the war ended revealed that England knew that Germany was massing its military strength and feared if not stopped soon, the world would be dominated by Germany. Poland knowing that England would Ally themselves if attacked, then commenced massive military manuevers along the Polish / German border. Germany fearing an imminate attack, struck first by sending troops into Poland, thus starting World War 2.
