Even though World War II began 21 years after the end of World War I, some historians believe that the two wars were part of one vast global conflict. Why do historians argue that the wars were connected?

I guess you could say because Hitler was in the first world war? As we all know Hitler’s hate for the Jews and anyone who wasn’t “perfect” in his eyes were deemed unfit for his rule and were murdered. Hitler was only 25 in WW1 so when learning out who ordered the killing of Archduke Ferdinand, it must’ve fueled his hate for Europe even more.
