Maybe, but the traditional view is 1939.

Funny how different countries have different traditions.
I've always just seen 1939 as the beginning of WW2, and I've never seen it questioned since I learned about it in school in the 70's. But maybe it's seen different in Asia. And yes we also learned about the truce that was forced on the Germans, so that's been taken into account all along. It's still WWI and WW2, not WWI 1914-1945.
If you want an interesting novel, try 'Night Soldiers' by Alan Furst. Young Bulgarian boy is killed by local fascists. His brother is then recruited by the Russians to be a spy. He's sent to Spain to help fight Franco. Enjoy.
