There is no dispute that the Second World War ended September 2, 1945. This was the surrender of Japan. Germany surrendered in May of 1945.

The start of the war is often argued a bit more, most people say that the war started September 1, 1939, when Poland was invaded. There are some who argue that the war started in 1937, when Japan and China were fighting.

1939 - 1945
Yes the guy above is correct; Hitler killed himself, he was not assassinated. (although this wasn't what ended the war)
Hitler killed himself in April, the war in Europe ended in May. Japan surrendered in August 1945, after the atomic bombs were dropped. This was the official end of WW2.
