Some historians believe that WW2 was a continuation of the lingering ills of WWI and the devastating impact on the Germany economy that reparations had.

Hitler was a maniacal tyrant, who used his power to invade his neighbors, to acquire their wealth, as all tyrants are want to do.

One of the main reason it started was that lots of soliders in Germany still wanted to fight. Hitler was a soldier in World War I and lots of his buddies were killed. The reasons date back to a few historical ideals, such as Bismarck's idea of German unification.

Germany as a unified land was a recent thing in that it only happened late 1800s but had lost about 15% of its territory at the end of World War 1.

It was not just Hitler but many Germans felt they should take back the land Hitler seemingly had the goal of German unification as well, as he took German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia formerly the kingdom of Bohemia, and also annexed Austria, one of the major German states.

Of course the problem was that, as mentioned, Poland had taken German land and conducted an anti-German cultural campaign.
