Answer
The most immediate cause of World War II was the German invasion of Poland and demand for Danzig corridor. Hitler was demanding Danzig corridor for two reasons — First, the city of Danzig was inhabited mainly by the Germans. Second, by occupying the Danzig corridor, he could connect East Prussia with Germany. Realizing the danger, Britian and France had pledged assistance to Poland against German aggression.
On 1st september, 1939 German troops stormed Poland. On 3rd September Britian and France declared war on Germany. Thus the World War II began.
