can someone tell me about world-war 2, please!?

Question

this is an emergnency

Answer 1

The Treaty of Versailles that ended the First World War (aka WWI or The Great War) was in some ways needlessly punitive. This left a lot of hard feeling, especially in Germany. In this climate, exacerbated by the difficulties of the Great Depression, Hitler was able to seize power and begin an attempt to conquer Europe and re-make it in his "Aryan" image.

On the other side of the globe, Japan had emerged from its long period of self-imposed separation from the outside world in the mid 1800's when Americans under Admiral Perry initiated contact. They determined to become as modern as possible. After winning the Russo-Japanese war in 1905, the impulse grew to one of imperial power. In 1931 they invaded Manchuria (in China) and began the Showa period. In 1940 they became Allies with Germany and in 1941 they attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, prompting the United States to enter the war. Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is credited with saying, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

V E Day (Victory in Europe) was May 8, 1945.
V J Day (Victory over Japan) was August 15, 1945.

Answer 2

World War II (abbreviated WWII), or the Second World War, was a worldwide conflict fought between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, from 1939 until 1945. Armed forces from over seventy nations engaged in aerial, naval, and ground-based combat. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over sixty million people, making it by far the deadliest conflict in human history. The war ended in 1945 with an Allied victory.

Answer 3

It started in 1939 when Adoph Hitler, the dictator of Germany and his Nazi stormtroopers entered Poland to conquer it and then other countries as well.Britain declared war and then it went from there. Japan was invading different asian countries and islands in the pacific during the same period on an empire conquest. They decided after taking China and Korea that they could also take the U.S. and in 1941, they invaded Hawaii and theis caused President Roosevelt to declare war on Japan as well as Germany and Italy who had formed the Axis Empire.

Answer 4

it was a war between that allies(United states, Britian, and Russia) and the Axis(Nazi Germany, Japan, and Italy) france and britian declared war against Nazi germany after germany invaded poland, the germans and their blitzkrieg invaded most of europe, that allies(then mostly britian after france and surrendered to germany) failed at there invasion attemps before D-day, one of the turning points in the war was when germany betrayed the USSR(russia) and invaded, in 1942 when germany began their assult on Stanlingrad failed to take the city in the long and bloody fight, and the other turning point in the war was when the Japanese suprised the Americans by attacking Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th 1941 bringing the states in to that war, declaring war on Germany and Japan who had been fight China and many other Asian Countries, the Americans fought japan in that islands of the pacific trying to push them back, and japan had a fuel shortage so that didnt have many huge offensives against the states and dug in there forces on the little islands, back in Europe and tha battle of britian over that english channel with the RAF and the Luftwaffe(german air force) which the germans had lost which saved britian form and imminet invasion, that only british territory germany owned were small islands off the cost of france, on June 6th 1944 that allies(Britian, U.S.A and Canada) invaded normandy successfully which is also known as D-day, started liberating France and the rest of Europe with Rommel defeated in Africa the Nazis strated losing the war the the surrender of one of the smaller allies Italy and the germans were desperate to hold off the allies on both fronts with the america, britian and Canada on the west and the russian red army on the east it was a race to get to berlin and hitler, the german army were surrendering to allies by the company and eventually in the spring of 1945 the German Army surrendered to the Allies and Hitler then comitted suicide and it wasnt till the fall of 1945 that after the two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and nagasaki the Japanese Imperial Army surrendered to the Allies thus bring the end of the Second world war. Of course this is just my short summary of the war and many events I had left out cuz it would have taken much longer to go more into detail

Answer 5

Essentially a continuation of WWI

Hitler and his nazi party came to power pushing nationalistic ideas and soon took up the fight by focusing on the unfair terms given to germeny at the end of WW I.

Japan attacked the US because it was blocking Japan's imperialistic expansions.

It lasted untill 1945. Germany fell when after it was overextended the allies landed in normandy and the russians pushed from the east.

Japan surrendered after two atomic attacks on civilian targets.

WW2 in a nutshell

Answer 6

that's a very broad question ... with limited space to answer. Just look up World War 2 in Wikipedia or something. Unless you want to be more specific with the question.

Answer 7

What a strange emergency it must be that you need a six year war summarised in a few words. Have you tried looking on Wikipedia?

Answer 8

started with the rise of the nazi party in Germany with hitler as leader.
he signed a no aggression pact with Poland. re-nigged .invaded Poland, France, Italy, Russia,present day Slovakia, and tried to over throw England. need more??

Answer 9

ok, some bad dictators, Hitler, Mussolinni, Stalin, maybe some more too were trying to take over the world

The allies stopped them though. Lots of people were killed out of just plain hate, and lots of soldiers died.

It was bad all around, my dads folks came to the US to escape it.

My Dads grandmother gave the food to her kids and starved.

Lots of stories like that. Bad times all around I think.

Answer 10

Can you be more specific? This was a huge, huge war....look it up on Wikipedia- they have the best research info. Good luck!
