When was WWII declared?

  1. September 1, 1939

  2. August 4, 1914

  3. June 28, 1919

  4. December 7, 1941

The correct answer is: September 1, 1939

World War II was declared on September 1, 1939. This was when Germany invaded Poland, prompting the United Kingdom and France to declare war on Germany. August 4, 1914 was the start of World War I, not World War II. June 28, 1919 was the date the Treaty of Versailles was signed to officially end World War I. December 7, 1941 was the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which prompted the United States to enter World War II, but it was not the actual declaration of the war.
