Original Note:
False: Hitler started WWII in 1939 by invading Poland. The "Judea Declares War" headline refers to a boycott by Jews in response to Nazi persecution, not an actual declaration of war. The "peace offers" were demands for more annexed land as part of Nazi prewar aggression. https://ia601901.us.archive.org/25/items/DailyExpressJudeaDeclaresWarOnGermanyBoycottOfGermanGoodsEN19331P./Daily%20Express%20-%20Judea%20declares%20War%20on%20Germany%20-%20Boycott%20of%20German%20Goods%20%28EN%2C%201933%2C%201%20p.%29_text.pdf https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-history-and-archives/gi-roundtable-series/pamphlets/em-10-what-shall-be-done-about-germany-after-the-war-(1944)/what-caused-germany-to-start-another-war https://www.britannica.com/place/Third-Reich/Peaceful-annexations
