It's a long story reaching back to before WW1. The ultimate cause of WW2 was the Austrian Habsburg Empire, when it tried to assert it's authority on Serbia, resulting in an assassination and Austria calling on Germany to help it fight against the Russians (who backed Serbia). The main cause of WW2 was the "Treaty of Versailles", and the subsequent invasion and annexation of the Rhineland by the French in 1920 (not written into popular history books to save face for the French no doubt, but you can find information with google) when Germany could no longer pay the crippling war payments administered by England, America, Belgium, and France. This caused major food shortages which started a chain reaction of political and social upheaval, leading inevitably (and rightly so) to a need to take back what belonged to them in the first place. The leader at the time was unfortunately a little too extreme and went way past the expected path of simply making a stronger Germany. After all that murder, mayhem, and madness, what WW2 really teaches us is that we should never allow Politicians too much power, and never believe too strongly in their self promoting rhetoric and double talk.

There were 4 main long term causes that led to the outbreak of World War I. These causes included militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism.
The increased military expansion in Europe before World War I caused alarm because it heightened tensions among the major powers, fostering an environment of suspicion and competition. Nations built up their armies and navies, leading to an arms race that created a sense of impending conflict. This militarization, coupled with complex alliances and nationalist fervor, made the situation more volatile and increased the likelihood of war. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the outbreak of a devastating global conflict in 1914.
