The war in Europe was started by Adolph Hitler. See the related question below for the answer about why he did it. The Japanese started the war in the Pacific because of an oil embargo put on them by the United States. They needed petroleum and other natural resources so they chose to go to other nations to get it even if it meant invading those nations. They did not want the US to interfere with their plans so they thought they would eliminated the USN Pacific Fleet. They bombed Pearl Harbor and that entered the US into World War 2 officially.
