World War I started in August 1914. At the end of June 1914, a Bosnian man named Gavrilo Princip shot and killed the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austrian government blamed Serbia for helping him and after a month or so of failed negotiations between Germany and Russia (the emperors of which were cousins), Austria-Hungary declared war.
World War II officially started when Adolf Hitler's Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, claiming that Polish spies had attacked a German radio station on the border. Nobody believed that Poland had actually done so. France and Britain had promised to help Poland, and declared war after the German invasion started.
