What significant event marked the beginning of the Second World War?

The invasion of Poland by Germany
The bombing of Pearl Harbor
The battle of Britain
The signing of the Treaty of Versailles

The correct answer is: The invasion of Poland by Germany

The invasion of Poland by Germany marked the beginning of World War II. This event is significant because it triggered the declaration of war by other nations, such as France and the United Kingdom, and led to the formation of the Allied powers to fight against the Axis powers. The bombing of Pearl Harbor, while a significant event in the war, occurred over two years after the invasion of Poland and thus cannot be considered the beginning of the war. The battle of Britain was a major battle during the war, but it did not mark the beginning of the war. The signing of the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I, cannot be considered the beginning of World War II as it occurred over 20 years prior to the invasion of Poland.
