Why did they Hitler start world war 2?

Answer 1

To the idiot replying "because he was bored", I will explain both you and the one who asked the question, why he started WWII.

According to the Nazi Policy, he wanted to expand Germany.

He started taking over Austria on March 13, 1938 without a fight.

September 28-29, 1938 at the Munich Conference, France and Great Britain handed over a big part of Czechoslovakia to Germany. (Hitler took the rest in March 1939)

Great Britain and France didn't know why Hitler did this, but they hoped to avoid another bloodshed as in WWI, but his goal of land acquisition was bigger than any other country.

On the night of August 31, 1939, the Nazis took a random prisoner from one of their concentration camps and dressed him like a Polish soldier. They brought him to the town of Gleiwitz and shot him. The scened death was supposed to appear as a Polish attack against a German radio station. That was the excuse for attacking Poland. Germany attacked them the day after.

On September 1, 1939, the same day Germany attacked Poland, Great Britain and France sent an ultimatum to Adolf Hitler - either withdraw German forces out of Poland or Great Britain and France would declare war against Germany.

Great Britain and France declared war against Germany on September 3, 1939.
