In WWI, a large number of factors coincided to create an incredibly volatile situation. These included both "issues of nationality and/or ethnicity".
WWII I would call much more cut-and-dry. Germany, collapsing and desperate from the fallout of the last War, managed to elect a bat-shit, crazy emo kid. Then they looked the other way while he installed himself as a dictator.
