Germany's motivation for beginning World War II was to acquire new territory, to spread German influence, and to avenge defeat in the First World War. It is important to realize, however, that its aggression in 1939 was not an intentional start of a world war: German leaders (mistakenly) thought that they could steal additional territory without hostile reaction from western nations.
