World War 2 happened 20 years after World War 1. World War 2 was started by Adolf Hitler when he invaded Poland. He wanted the land of Poland and to kill off and remove the Poles from Poland. Next he wanted to take over other European countries so he could have their Natural Resources and space for the Aryan race to live. He also destroyed or rather disregarded the Treaty of Versailles that was created after World War 1 and bankrupted Germany.
