About the Event

John MaurerWorld War II stands out as the deadliest and perhaps most famous conflict in human history. But how did the war begin, and could the massive bloodshed have been avoided? In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the war’s outbreak, historian John Maurer revisits the origin of fighting in Europe in 1939 and uncovers how Western democracies came to confront Adolf Hitler and the threat of global fascism.
