One assumes most readers are aware of at least some of the facts ufffd the first invasion of Poland by Germany, who the Allies and the Axis powers were, what lead to Germany's surrender, the use of the atomic bomb and setting of a stage for what would become the Cold War.
In 1961, the British historian AJP Taylor published a book titled The Origins of the Second World War, removing the blame for the event that had, until then, been placed squarely on the shoulders of Adolf Hitler. He blamed other world leaders equally, listing a series of what he referred to as mistakes that primed the escalation of war.
