e Two World Wars. This paper identifies the major causes of World War I and World War II. The causes of both wars lay in the political and military rivalries and consequent alliance building among major European powers. However, the rise of fascism and the Great Depression put World War II in different contexts. The scale of destruction is greater in World War II, but major changes in Western ideas emerged from the destruction of World War I.
