I agree, but the war was started in 1911 when Italians invaded Lybia. From this war, start the First Balkan War, with the end of this, started the Second Balkan War, and with the end of this, the WWI. The WWI caused the WWII. Actually nobody can say that Hitler started the WWII as with occopation of Belarus and Ukraine by URSS, Germany was affraid that URSS would invade Poland. So Germany invade Poland first.
