The years preceding World War II were marked by a series of international tensions and events that set the stage for the global conflict. The rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan, with their expansionist ideologies, the appeasement policies of the Western powers in the face of aggression, and successive diplomatic crises created a climate of instability and uncertainty that culminated in the invasion of Poland in 1939.
