35. Unfortunately you aren't correct there.

WW1 started because of the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand
WW2 started because Germany (The Nazis) invaded Poland.

As I'm studying World War I in history right now, I can confirm Chlo is right about the assassination of Franz being what sparked the war. WWII however I can't really remember what started it, but I am thirteen and a lazy bugger.

38. I think it's unfair to say WW2 started from that one event, it was more a build up of events.

The treaty of Versailles was much to strict on Germany, hence crashing there economy and so they were living in pretty dire conditions. Looking for a scapegoat to blame for their strife, they accepted Hitler's idea of it being the Jews fault, despite him having little good reasoning for it. They then broke the treaty of Versailles which already had Britain, France & America to an extent ready to leap on them, Poland was just the spark.

I would argue that the bullet that shot Franz Ferdinand started both wars

31. I honestly don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't know when WW2 was.... not knowing when WW1 was, I can understand... but WW2?

42. You're the second person I've found out about, I guess. i.e, I found out the other person didn't know about it before I found out you don't know about it.

43. And you expect it from me anyway ^_^

[lugia95]

44. I didn't expect you to answer with the 60s! And then the 70s!

[SaRo|Rapidash]

45. Hey! I was close enough!

[lugia95]

46. Eh, I guess you did better than my college friend, who said, and I qoute, "did it end before or after we were born?"

Then again, that might just be because I stopped you before you reached the 90s...

Last year in a History lesson my friend said "this Hitler guy sounds like a real ass.  Someone should stop him"

SLOWPOKE MOMENT.
