Actually, the site doesn't, not in their list of Popes, anyway. It seems that both in 1914 and 1939, there were 2 Popes, one elected after the death of the previous one. But no dates of death are given; only the years of death are listed.
St. Pius X died in 1914, and Benedict XV became Pope.
Pius XI died in 1939, and Pius XII became Pope.
Someone else will have to determine the dates of deaths and elections to see who was Pope at the time each war actually started.
