The direct answer to this question is as follows: A. The German invasion of Poland on Sunday, September 1, 1939. B. By September 3, 1939 Britain and France held to their treaty to protect Poland and war was declared on Germany.
Germany fully expected this and already had created a strategy for the invasion of France.
These are the 2 things that began WW2. The circumstances that led up to WW2 are quite extensive and not pertinent to the question asked.

What is the timeline of war world two?
World War Two started in 1939 when Adolf Hitler began taking over countries. World War Two ended in 1945 after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in Japan. Interestingly, there wasn't an "official" end to World War Two until 1990, when a certain document was signed that officially concluded the hostilities between the countries that fought in World War Two. This is because when Japan unconditionally surrendered, "ending" the war, no treaty was signed that officially ended the war. The countries simply stopped fighting.
