The war started on September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.

The European war ended on May 8, 1945 when Germany officially surrendered (Russia celebrated the end on May 9 due to time zones).

The entire war ended on September 2, 1945 when Japan officially surrendered.

1939-1945


It started as unfinished business from the settlement at the end of WWI, also because Hitler had great ambitions for the German race. It finished in 1945. Other people will state other reasons for it starting, most of which will be valid.

That would depend on which country you are living in.

If you were in China you could say it started in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria, (part of China). You could also say July 7, 1937 which was the date Japan invaded China proper.

For Britain it would be September 1, 1939; and for the USA, December 7, 1941.

The war ended when Japan surrendered officially on September 2, 1945.
