Two (1942 and 1946)
Because of World War II the 1942 and 1946 FIFA World Cups were not held.
If you are referring to the FIFA World Cup, there wasn't one due to be held in 1940. The World Cup is held every 4 years. The last one had been in 1938, so the next would have been in 1942, not 1940. The 1942 and 1946 World Cups were not held due to World War II. No host had been chosen for the 1942 World Cup, though Argentina, Germany and Brazil had put in bids. There were no bids at all for 1946 as it was definitely not going to happen. The next World Cup was in 1950 in Brazil.
Because of World War 2. its because of the world war 2 that start at 1939 till 1945 The 1942 and 1946 World Cups were made impossible by the Second World War. Even if the war would have ended a year earlier, there still wouldn't have been enough time to prepare a World Cup for 1946.
There was no FIFA World Cup in 1947. There was one in 1938. The 1942 and 1946 World Cups were cancelled due to World War II, and the next one was in 1950, thus maintaining the 4 year gap.
Because of WWII, there were not world cups between 1938 - 1950.
There have been 19 world cups. The first was in 1930 in Uruguay and it was then held every 4 years since then. BUT: There wasn't a tournament held in 1942 or 1946 because of World War 2.
