Qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ :
What was the immediate cause of World War ll ?
Aɴsᴡᴇʀ :
The immediate cause for World War ll was the German tanks driving into Poland on September 1, 1939. Hitler invaded Poland as punishment for refusing to handover the port of Danzing to Germany. Polish territory lay between two parts of Germany. Hitler thought the takeover of Poland will also be a small military operation. But Poland had a defence pact with Britain which jumped on to the Polish side and France joined them a day later. This marked the beginning of world war ll
