Answer 2

As the name WORLD War II implies, the war took place over much of the world. Most of Europe was involved, from Britain in the west to the Volga River in the east, and from Norway in the north to Sicily and Greece in the South. The major exceptions were Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Virtually the entire North African coastal area was battlefield for a while, from Morocco east almost to the Suez Canal.

In Asia, fighting occurred in China, Burma, India, Siam (now called Thailand), and French Indochina (basically the modern countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia).

Much of the Pacific Ocean was a battlefield, on land, on the sea, and beneath it, basically from Hawaii west to the Asian mainland and from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska south all the way to the Coral Sea off of Australia. Some of the major island battles in the Pacific were New Guinea, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, the Marshalls, the Marianas, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Philippines. The main home islands of Japan were never assaulted by land, but they were heavily bombed.

Only the Americas remained virtually untouched, at least on land, except for a couple of islands in the aforementioned Aleutians, and a brief shelling of California by a Japanese submarine, and some balloon bombs, which did minimal damage, floated over from Japan on the jetstream. There was considerable activity off the eastern coasts of the Americas, however, as pretty much the entire Atlantic, as well as the Caribbean and even the Gulf of Mexico saw U-boat attacks, as well as the attemps to find and sink them.

There was also some submarine and anti-submarine activity in the Indian Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, the latter a result of the convoys to Murmansk in Russia.

That pretty much covers it, I think.

Answer 3

Hitler was pissed about Germany losing WW1 and how they were lied to and told they were winning. Ok that is just one side, also the containment of Germany was so flawed. I'm sure others will list reasons for the other countries so only was pointing out one man's issue. Sorry read Why the first time.
As to where hard to define. Most of Europe other then Switzerland. North Africa. Japan and China as well as Vietnam I believe.
