Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Of all the reasons the most direct one for the breakout of the war was the Hitler's aggressive colonizing policies. In violation of the treaty of Locarno [Ben John], Hitler invaded Rhineland in 1936. This was followed by the annexure of Sudetenland and Austria in 1938. Britain signed the Munich agreement with Germany to prevent further colonization but Hitler again breached the agreement by annexing Czechoslovakia in 1939. This was followed by Hitler's demand for Danzig (in Poland), which was rejected leading to the German invasion of Poland in September 1, 1939 and marking the beginning of the Second World War. Britain and France entered the war against Germany in conformation with the pact with Poland."
