World War 2 was a war that took place in Europe it all started when Hitler the leader of Germany decided to conquer Austria and Czechoslovakia. Germany conquered both of those countries without starting a fight with another country. Hitler was a leader that was only thinking about expanding the land of German. Later Hitler devised a plan to invaded Poland. However he didn't want the Soviet Union to interfere. So he made a pact with the Soviet Union "Nazi Soviet Non-Aggression Pact". A Nazi under Hitler's command thought of an excuse that gave Germany the excuse to invade Poland. The Nazi's took an unknown prisoner from a concentration camp then dressed him in a Polish uniform. The Nazi's then took him to Gleiwitz (a town bordering Poland and Germany) then shot him him by a German radio station making it look like he was attacking the station. Hitler then attacked Poland on September 1, 1939 then after he attacked Britain and France sent a message to Hitler. Saying to withdraw your troops from Poland or we will declare war against Germany. Hitler ignored their warnings and decided to continue through with the invasion, France and Britain then declared war on Germany.
