World War I primarily stemmed from rising nationalism, militarism, and complex alliances, culminating in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which triggered a broader conflict involving major powers divided into the Allies and Central Powers. In contrast, World War II arose from unresolved issues from WWI, economic instability, and the rise of totalitarian regimes, particularly in Germany, Italy, and Japan, leading to aggressive expansionism. The conflict escalated after Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, ultimately involving numerous nations and resulting in widespread devastation. Both wars reshaped global geopolitics and led to significant social and political changes.
