World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global conflict that lasted from September 1, 1939, to September 2, 1945. It involved over 50 nations and was fought on multiple fronts, including land, sea, and air. The war was primarily between the Allies (including the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China) and the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan).
The war began with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, leading to declarations of war by Britain and France. It saw significant events such as the Holocaust, the Battle of Britain, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the end of the war, an estimated 60 to 80 million people had died, including up to 55 million civilians.
World War II officially ended on September 2, 1945, with the surrender of Japan.
