The World Cup was not held between 1938 and 1950 (the question says 1949, but the next tournament was 1950) because of World War II. The tournament was suspended during the war years. It resumed in 1950 in Brazil, with Uruguay winning. Hitler's death, lack of team interest, and equipment issues are not correct reasons.
The FIFA World Cup was not held from 1938 to 1949 because of World War II (1939–1945) and its aftermath — the disruption to international travel, resources, and normal life made organizing a global tournament impossible, and it resumed only in 1950. Adolf Hitler's death (1945) is a wartime event but not itself the organizational reason the tournament was suspended — the war as a whole is the cause. Lack of team interest and equipment shortages are not the historically documented reasons; the war is the standard, correct explanation.
