did world war 2 begin in 1939 and end in 1945? True or false?

Answer 1

true

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 the deadliest conflict in human history. The war ended with an Allied victory

Answer 2

True : 1 September 1939 - 2 September 1945

Answer 3

Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 and Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945 although the surrender document was not signed until Sept. 2, 1945. Some scholars make a case that the war started years earlier, on Sept. 18, 1931 or July 7, 1937. On both of these dates Japan launched military attacks on China, the first in Manchuria, the second in areas of China to the south of Manchuria. The United States declared war on Japan on Dec. 8, 1941 after Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941.

Answer 4

True, with some reservations:

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_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 the deadliest conflict in human history. The war ended with an Allied victory.”

However, the reasons for WW2 were unsettled scores from WW1 and we are still dealing with the consquences of WW2 today.

Israel was created by the guilty feeling Allies after WW2. At the time the area wasn’t that volitile or that rich so no one cared. Now the rich oil states can help to sponser “relief” missions in Palestiane. Most of that money is funneled off to terrorists, just like most of American donations to the IRA were. This has created a huge problem in the Middle East. If not for Israel the US would find it easier to establish peace. If not for the Cold War Iraq, Syria and Egypt wouldn’t be armed with Soviet weapons.

The Cold War was a direct result of WW2 when the Allies gave back Germany to the Germans and the Soviets refused to give back any land that they controlled. Japan took over Korea, China and Vietnam. When the war ended for administration purposes the northern part of those nations were put under temporary Soviet control. After WW2 these nations remained split under Soviet control. So the Korean War and the Vietnam War were direct results of this problem. The current difficulty with the rouge state North Korea is another problem caused by WW2. China turned communist because the Soviet Union had a foothold in the nation and they supported Mao.

Some historians follow these ideas and consider all of them to be a part of WW1, altought the majority understand their arguments they still cling to the traditional concept of two wars.

Iran is working on developing the nuclear bomb, and they are determined to do it. Their current plant is underground because the Israelis destroyed the last one. Once they have the nuclear bomb (and there is no doubt they will develop one) then they won’t be foolish enough to use them themselves, instead they will ‘sell’ them to Hezbollah (a terrorist organization that was founded by Iran I 1982). Hezbollah will have no quam’s on using those nukes. When Israel is nuked, they will respond. If this leads to WW3, and many fundemental Christians hope it will, then the root cause of that war will lie in the aftermath of WW1.

Answer 5

Answer 6

on sept 1 1939 german forces started to attack poland . if i remember right the first military action were some salvoes from a warship which fired upon the fortress of Gdansk.

the end of ww2 is marked by the surrender of japain august 14th

Answer 7

i feel world war 1 and 2 were the same war just with a pause because with out germany's economy being shot from inflation and the gov't going belly up hitler would have never been able to gain power. but yes it ended in 1945 with victory over japan.

Answer 8

WORLD War II but many people think it started when the US joined the war, it isnt AMERICAN WAR II its World War 2, WW2 started when the Japanese first started invading Asia, in 1937, and yes, ends in 1945

Answer 9

true everyone that got involved with it started then sept 1st 1939 with the invasion of poland then it had a similar starting up like it did with world war 1

but people can argue though that the war started back in 1931 when japan invaded china

Answer 10

How do you define start? I believe Hitler lead the German "invasion" of places like Austria before 1939. They openly let him in and openly "surrendered" to him so I guess that doesn't count as the start of the war.
