          By convention the date generally given by historians is 1 September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. It ended on 2 September 1945 with the surrender of Japan.

          The following other events are occasionally cited as possible starting points:
          3 September 1939: Britain and France declared war on Germany following the German invasion of Poland.
          7 July 1937: The Japanese invasion of China (the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War).
          1931: The Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

          Others argue that the two world wars are one conflict separated only by a "ceasefire."
