The biggest factor leading to World War 2 was World War 1, which was ended by the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed massive reparations payments on Germany. Payment of these reparations bankrupted Germany ultimately resulting in the worldwide Great Depression and the rise of several extremist leaders (e.g. Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, Tojo in Japan) and expansionist government policies.
