Exploring the reasons why the Second World War broke out in September 1939 and why a European conflict developed into a war that spanned the globe, 'The Origins of the Second World War' argues that this was not just 'Hitler's War' but one that had its roots and origins in the decline of the old empires of Britain and France and the rise of ambitious new powers in Germany, Italy and Japan who wanted large empires of their own. This fourth edition has been revised throughout, covering the origins of the war from its background in the First World War to its expansion to embrace the Soviet Union, Japan and the United States by the end of 1941.
