If so, we haven't hit the equivalent of Sept 1 1939 yet. That's when WW2 is generally considered to have started, but residents of Manchuria, Austria and the Sudetenland probably consider it to have started earlier.

It's only considered to have started then because that's when France and Britain declared war on Germany, and that's who wrote the history books.
