WWII

A truly world war which lasted from 1939 to 1945. The countries of the world aligned with either the Axis powers or the Allies and battled in a total war. In 1939 Germany invaded Poland which lead to Britain giving Germany the ultimatum for Germany to withdraw from Poland or they will become involved. Germany did not withdraw and Britain got involved, along with the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Shortly after France, South Africa, Canada and Nepal joined in. Later in the war the United States became involved and used air raids which had a huge impact on defeating the Germans. The Holocaust was disturbing racial attack on 6million Jews and minorities during the war conducted by the Axis. This world war was a lot worse then the first world war. It had advanced technology, air craft, bombs and weapons that destroyed 60million lives making it the deadliest conflict in human history. They say that if the 3rd world war were to come our plant will be demolished.

The two super powers, the Americans and the Soviet Union emerged and set the stage for the cold war for the next 40 years. This war changed countries, societies, governments and lives dramatically. Everything was completely involved in the war there was no place for sanity.

This war happened for obvious reasons, I'm happy the Germans were over powered and their government was defeated. Its horrible that so many lives were lost.
