http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_World_War_II :
The main causes of World War II were nationalistic tensions, unresolved
issues, and resentments resulting from the World War I and the interwar
period in Europe, plus the effects of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
The culmination of events that led to the outbreak of war are generally
understood to be the 1939 invasion of Poland by Germany and the 1937
invasion of the Republic of China by the Empire of Japan.
These military aggressions were the result of decisions made by the
authoritarian ruling Nazi elite in Germany and by the leadership of the
Kwantung Army in Japan. World War II started after these aggressive
actions were met with an official declaration of war and/or armed
resistance.
http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/causes-of-world-war-ii/underlying-causes-of-world-war-ii.html
:
Perhaps the greatest underlying factor causing the war, nationalism was
the primary reason for German, Italian and Japanese aggression. Fascism
in these countries was built largely upon nationalism and the search for
a cohesive "nation state." Hitler and his Nazi party used nationalism to
great effect in Germany, already a nation where fervent nationalism was
prevalent. In Italy, the idea of restoring the Roman Empire was
attractive to many Italians. In Japan, nationalism, in the sense of duty
and honor, especially to the emperor, had been widespread for centuries.

I heard there was an explosion on a nuclear powered US aircraft carrier.
Some sailor put a frozen meal in a microwave over without taking off the
aluminum foil and it exploded all over the inside of the oven.
There were no initial reports of any radiation leakage, but the NRC is
investigating and their report is expected in a few weeks.

I read 1 dead from a non-nuclear industrial accident in a metal-melting
furnace. It said there were something like 67,000 becquerels in there, or
less than 2 microcuries. I have worked with millicurie amounts, at least
1000 times as much, and no sweat ...

That's what I've always hated about becquerels, the numbers are too big.
I'm used to milli- and micro-curies as being useful (1 uCi=2.22x10^6

All true, but don't forget the Versailles treaty ending WWI that made a
pariah out of Germany and saddled it with huge debts. That was just
about a red flag for the nationalistic tendencies a relatively new
country was experiencing. I don't (others may) know what directly caused
the hyperinflation that further inflamed the nationalistic tendencies.
Once that was occurring, it was easy for Hitler to further inflame the
country. He had identified scapegoats (Jews, communists, etc) and was
successful in making his people believe that. Italy and Japan
followed/paralled that course.
