Is it true that Adolf Hitler's policies were the primary cause of the outbreak of World War II?
Unclear. Several reference and scholarly items place Hitler and Nazi policy among the leading causes of World War II, with one calling him the biggest culprit, but the same sources also list the Treaty of Versailles, the Great Depression, Japanese militarism and Italian aggression as contributing factors, so none settles that Hitler's policies were the primary cause.
