It started with Germany's aggressive Imperialism in the years before, but it was really the signing of the Munich Agreement, which allowed Hitler to annex Sudetenland of Czechslovakia in exchange for agreeing not to invade anywhere else. Then in May he violated this by invading Poland, which led Britain and France to declare war.
Germany had been granted all the land it had wanted without war. The official start came when it invaded Poland in the summer of 1939. Britain and France had both pledged to declare war if that happened. War began on September 3rd.
The outbreak of the Second World War occurred on September the 1st in 1939, with the German invasion of its eastern neighbor, Poland. With Poland falling after just one month of fighting, Germany prepared to invade its nemesis in the west, France, although fighting there would not take place until May of 1940.

You have to be a little more specific on which war you are talking about. World War I officially began on July 28, 1914. World War II officially began on September 1, 1939 (although some countries were already fighting, notably that Japan was already fighting China).

World War II
Chamberlain's declaration of "peace for our time" followed the Munich Agreement in 1938, where Britain and France allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia in a failed attempt to appease Hitler. However, this policy of appeasement only emboldened Germany, leading to further aggression in Europe. In March 1939, Germany violated the agreement by occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia, and by September 1, 1939, the invasion of Poland prompted Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the outbreak of World War II.
