WWII did not begin in 1939 or 1941

World War II cannot be understood as starting in 1939 or 1941; it grew from earlier weaknesses of the world, the division of European states, and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and from the world looking the other way and believing it could negotiate with Hitler, who would not stop until forced.

Evidence Quote

we cannot look at the Second World War as if it started in 1939. It didn't begin in 1941 either. We need to draw conclusions. When did it start? With the weaknesses of the world?
