Many people would trace the build-up of tensions to WW2 to the outcome of World War I. Following the First World War, Allied Powers forced the Central Powers (such as Germany) to pay high levels of reparations resulting in economic depression in those nations. The economic turmoil in Germany, for instance, enabled the rise of fringe parties such as the Nazi Party under Adolph Hitler who campaigned and stoked animosity against Allied Powers for his own political gain.
At the end of WW1 the treaty of Versailles was signed stating that Germany was to pay restitution to Britain and several other European countries also it held Germany as being solely responsible for the entire war. while deemed harsh by america Britain wanted blood and thus used this treaty to bull Germany thus making the Germans angry which then made it easy for Hitler too rise into power and the rest as they say is history
