World War II (1939-1945) was a global conflict involving most of the world's nations, organized into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It began with the German invasion of Poland, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The war spanned Europe, the Pacific, and other parts of the world, marked by significant events such as the Blitzkrieg, the Holocaust, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the D-Day invasion. The conflict saw unprecedented mobilization of resources and military technology, including tanks, aircraft, and atomic bombs. Civilians endured immense hardships, with millions of lives lost and widespread destruction. The war culminated in the defeat of the Axis powers, with Germany surrendering in May 1945 and Japan in August 1945 after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. World War II reshaped the global order, leading to the establishment of the United Nations and setting the stage for the Cold War. |
