The causes for each were not entirely the same. Before WWI countries were content to wage war on each other relatively indirectly, for control of the colonies and their resources. After WWI, the possibility of directly attacking other European countries was once again raised. WWI started due to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. It involved several countries because a lot of countries had agreed to help each other if war came. It was called The War to End all Wars, or The Great War.
World war II started when Germany again began it's expansion into Europe A lot of countries didn't like that, and so there was another huge war. It didn't make sense to say 'The War' anymore, and so they came to be called World War 1 and World War 2. The Japanese, expecting America to be occupied in the European war, and considering America as a threat to it's Asia-Pacific hegemony declared war on the Americans.
World War 1 came first. Technology was relatively primitive, with most of the war being done in trenches. Early airplanes were used. Poisonous gas was deployed for the first time.
In World War 2, tanks were used as the main deployment in many areas. Planes had improved, and bombers and fighters were heavily used. Submarines were also more heavily used. Encryption codes for secret also became more complex.
In both wars Germany was fighting against Great Britain, France, Russia and United States and in both wars Germany lost the war and territory.
In First World War, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) carried genocide against Armenians; in
Second World Germans committed genocide against Jews and Romanies ('gypsies').
But while First World War was mostly the war between countries, Second World War was also the war of ideologies, such as Fascism and Communism.
Casualties and damages in the Second World War were on larger scale.
The Americans did not directly join WW2 immediately; they only joined after they were attacked at Pearl Harbour.
World War 1 came first, but there were a lot of differences. Many of the same countries were involved in World War 2, but the weaponry was more advanced and the idealogies had changed. Also, World War 2 lasted longer, and more people were killed in it worldwide.
World War One or the Great War was mostly a trench war. It mainly consisted of trench combat. One side would wait in there trench while one advanced and attacked. World War Two was a war where the Germans Italians and Japanese tried to conquer the world (Mainly Europe and the Pacific) Then the Allied powers went and retook the land.

What was the role of FDR in World War 2?
President Roosevelt has been credited with saving the western world of democracy due to his role in World War 2.
- FDR began to send military equipment, food and medicines to the UK prior to the entry of the USA into World War 2. He crated the Lend Lease Act that would provide assistance to allied nations during the war.
- FDR maintained continuous contact with the Prime Minister of the UK (England).
- He saw that the US began to start a buildup of ships, planes and artillery for the US Forces and encouraged men to join the Military Forces which many did because it was the time of the depression. The military provided jobs for them.
- He tried to negotiate with Japan to get them to stop the murdering and invasion tactics they were using and to restore the oil purchases the Japanese needed so desperately. He had no idea the Japanese would specifically bomb Pearl Harbor on 12-7-1941 but may have hoped they would do something to make Americans want to go to war.
- He got the US Congress and Senate to declare war on Japan and later they chose to fight in Europe after Hitler declared war on them.
- He was the Commander in Chief (head of the military forces of the USA) during the entire war until he died.
- He saw to it that the US forces and Allied forces were well supplied and got the USA completely involved in the war effort and supported war bond drives. He saw to it that the blacks and women were hired to work in the war manufacturing factory and ship yards.
- He assisted his military leaders as they needed help to do the job of defeating the German Nazis and the Japanese Military.
- He became part of the Big 3 leadership of the Allied Forces. They made the biggest decisions of the war against Japan and German Axis Forces and how the European Countries would be controlled and restored after the war was over. They also made decisions about the places Japan had invaded.
- He was a terrific negotiator and leader during the war. One of his momentous decisions was to endorse and support the creation of the atomic bomb. Unfortunately he was suckered in by Joe Stalin and let the Russian occupy Poland and half of Germany

Including World War II , World War I, The Spanish American War, The Mexican American War and The War of 1812.
How many tanks was destroyed in World War 2?
An exact count of destroyed tanks was not kept by everyone in WW2. Some of the battles had exact counts but some places did not. You have to remember tanks were being used by the Allies and the Axis forces. You can believe they were not always going to reveal to one another how many they lost. Some of the tank troops were surprised 30 to 50 years later how many were really destroyed when they learned the truth. I would hazard a guess it could be close to 10 thousand world wide.

We joined the war because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
