The outbreak of World War II was influenced by several key alliances and events, including the rise of fascism in Europe and the failure of the Treaty of Versailles to maintain peace. The Axis Powers, primarily Germany, Italy, and Japan, formed military alliances, while the appeasement policies of Britain and France allowed aggressive expansions, such as Germany's annexation of Austria and the invasion of Czechoslovakia. The signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union further emboldened Hitler, culminating in the invasion of Poland in September 1939, which directly triggered the war.
