Answer 3

The modern world is still living with the consequences of World War 2, the most titanic conflict in history. Just over 67 years ago on September 1st 1939, Germany invaded Poland without warning. By the evening of September 3rd, Britain and France were at war with Germany and within a week, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had also joined the war. The world had been plunged into its second world war in 25 years. Six long and bloody years of total war, fought over many thousand of square kilometres followed. From the Hedgerows of Normandy to the streets of Stalingrad, the icy mountains of Norway to the sweltering deserts of Libya, the insect infested jungles of Burma to the coral reefed islands of the pacific. On land, sea and in the air, Poles fought Germans, Italians fought Americans and Japanese fought Australians in a conflict which was finally settled with the use of nuclear weapons. World War 2 involved every major world power in a war for global domination and at its end, more than 60 million people had lost their lives and most of Europe and large parts of Asia lay in ruins.

August 9, 1945 - bombong of Nagasaki

Japan was forced to surrender after the bombings that happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Semptember 2, 1945 - Mamoru Shigemitsu, Adu Yoshiro Umezu (representatives of Japan), and General Douglas McArthur (United States) signed the papers which states that Japan surrenders

Answer 5

it officially began in 1939 on September 1, Germany invaded Poland, using the false pretext of a faked "Polish attack" on a German border post, and ended with The German High Command under Generaloberst Alfred Jodl surrendering unconditionally all remaining German forces on May 7, 1945 in Reims, France.

the official beginning of The U.S.'s involvement came from the bombing of Pearl Harbor (December 7 1941) in Japan's protest of the oil embargo that was imposed on them for their role in the war by advancing into mainland China.

The unexpected air attack destroyed most of the American aircraft on the island and knocked the main American battle fleet out of action (six battleships sank, but four of them along with two other badly damaged battleships would eventually returned to service). but their main targets of the attack, 4 Aircraft carriers were out at sea.

that attack united the public's view and the following day the U.S. declared war against Japan along with China for their push into Malaya, following this, Germany in turn declared war on the U.S. because Hitler hoped that Japan would help Germany by attacking and invading the Soviet Union, but this didn't happen due to a non aggression treaty that was drawn up between those two countries.

Instead, Germany's declaration removed any significant opposition to the United States joining the fight in the European Theater (battlegrounds) with full commitment.

hope that helped.
