The Battle of Khalkin Gol is amazing to study. The Soviet Union completely swallowed a Japanese Army Group, when the Japanese military was at their prime. General Zhukov developed the strategy he would later use at Stalingrad, the Japanese developed a real terror of the Soviets, which meant they never would come to Germany's aid, ultimately dooming Germany while millions of Japanese soldiers sat idle in China and Manchuria until the end of the war. A LOT happened militarily before the German/Soviet invasion of Poland.

The biggest point of contention on when ww2 began is basically when you consider the conflict to turn into a true world war. 1939 can be seen as the beginning of ww2 for the reason of it being when you had a conflicts on multiple continents. Simultaneously 1941 can be seen as the real year that the conflict became a world war due to the fact of the conflict truly becoming a singular conflict owing to the fact of the United States' involvement against both Japan (in addition to Japanese invasion of British and French colonies leading to their direct involvement with the Japanese as well) and Germany tying it all together as the Allied and Axis sides formed. 1937 on the other hand can be seen as the beginning of the conflict due to it being when the first conflicts of the war with the Japanese invasion of China and the Spanish civil war began and were what would evolve into the world war basically. However the biggest problem with considering 1937 the beginning of the world war is that there was no major conflicts going on simultaenously on multiple continents, only relatively insignificant conflicts.

A Eurocentric view is always the accepted view. Even if Germany invaded Poland, it was a conflict in two continents. So a conflict in one continent doesn't count, but a conflict in two is the true starting point? Let's call it what it is. A Eurocentric view because no one cares if Japan is invading China in the West. World War I was fought in Europe only, but it was called a World War still. 1914 to 1918. Should it not have been called that unless there was a conflict in a second continent? If a large war starts on one continent and can be called a World War, then how come it only applies to Europe? Calling it the Great European War would have been more accurate.

The comments, and inter change between the commenters is fascinating. For my money, dominoes that began falling in 1910 with wars in Bulgaria are necessary precursors and organically connect all the way out to 1945 in what I call " The great Big War ". To select otherwise is arbitrary, peculiar, and denies how the dominoes tumbled. The counter argument is scope and breadth, but that is just a question of time. Taken as a whole, not omitting the connections that necessarily initiate the preconditions for conflict, and the next conflict, and next conflict, and on and on and on.
