Hitler invaded Poland on Sep 1, 1939, which led to the war in Europe.

The US joined the war the day after being bombed at Pearl Harbour on Dec 8, 1941.

The war ended in Europe (VE day) on May 8, 1945.

Answer 8

worldwide conflict 3 will take place. Arab/Muslim countries of the middle East and northerly Africa will unite under the management of Iraq and Iran. they're going to threaten and attack usa. they're going to explode a nuclear Bomb in long island city. "you will cause them to like an oven of hearth, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up together with his wrath, and hearth will eat them." ( Psalm 20:10) next they're going to threaten and attack Europe. The Arab countries would be unstoppable. they're going to ultimately triumph over all of Europe. this may be a conflict against countries and likewise a conflict against the Christian faith. they're going to burn church homes and limit public Christian worship in the occupied international places. Russia, China, the u . s . a . and different international places won't get entangled. usa won't retaliate for worry of an all out nuclear conflict. they're going to grow to be in touch while worldwide conflict 4 starts.

Answer 9

Answer 10

World War II (abbreviated WWII), or the Second World War, was a worldwide conflict which lasted from 1939 to 1945. Caused by the expansionist and hegemonic ambitions of Germany, Italy, and Japan and economic tensions between all major powers, World War II was a confluence of two conflicts respectively started in China (the Second Sino-Japanese War), and in Poland (the Invasion of Poland). This global conflict split a majority of the world's nations into two opposing camps: the Allies and the Axis. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history.

Not only fought between nations, World War II was the first large ideological war in history, which helps to explain why resistance and collaboration groups in occupied Europe and Asia could still operate in spite of contrary national governments and armies, or how a resistance could exist in the heart of Nazi Germany.

World War II was the most widespread war humanity has ever experienced, mobilizing over 100 million soldiers from 61 nations, with hostilities covering over 20 million km². Total war erased the distinction between civil and military resources and saw the complete mobilization of a nation's economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities for the purposes of the war effort; nearly two-thirds of those killed in the war were civilians. Massive air raids against civilian targets, initially by the Axis in Europe (Coventry, England, Rotterdam, Netherlands) and in Asia (Shanghai and Chongqing, China), then by the Allies (Tokyo, Japan, Dresden (35,000 dead) and Hamburg, Germany), took additional lives. And, for the first and so far only time, nuclear weapons were used in combat: two atomic bombs released by the United States over Japan devastated Hiroshima and, three days later, Nagasaki.

Totaling the amount of destruction is difficult, but it has certainly not been exceeded, in any single conflict, since the war's conclusion. The moral damage caused by the atrocities committed by both sides was an unquestionable blow to societal progress.

These atrocities include the deportation of entire populations (principally Jews, Slavs, and Roma), certain categories of people (for instance, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, or the disabled) but also political dissidents (for instance, Socialists, Communists or Labour Unionists) to labour, concentration, and extermination camps by the Nazis, the forced conscription of millions of East Asians living under the rule of Imperial Japan into military, labour and sexual service, the forced internment of Japanese-Americans within the U.S., and specific exactions such as the Nanking and Manila massacres. Other infamous actions include the reprisals against various uprisings, the experiments on human beings which Nazi doctors, such as SS Josef Mengele, and the Japanese Unit 731 conducted.

As a result of World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as the world's two leading superpowers, dominating the world's stage for the next 40 years. The dominance of Europe faded due to the rise of Asian, Arabian, and eventually African decolonization/independence movements, which was roughly complete by the 1960s. Paradoxically, while World War II was the last, and probably worst, conflict in European history, it has led to a desire for unification in order to avoid future conflicts, which has transformed the difficult process of reconstruction into an unprecedented opportunity for prosperity.

Open hostilities were expressed in military combat for over six years, with the first years of the war dominated by the Axis. Continental Europe was quickly overrun by Germany, and Great Britain stood alone until the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The United States, which had been helping Great Britain with material aid, also entered the war in 1941, bringing manufacturing capacity and manpower that helped to overwhelm Germany and Japan. 1942 was pivotal, with Germany and Italy suffering defeats in Russia and North Africa from which they never recovered. With the Allied invasion of Italy in 1943 and France in 1944, the final phases of the war were set in motion. Soviet troops simultanously advanced through Eastern Europe culminating in the Battle of Berlin and the destruction of the Third Reich.

In the Asian theater, Japan had been occupying parts of mainland China for six years before open combat broke out in 1937 as a result of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. Chinese forces were able to limit the Japanese advance by 1941, but Japanese troops controlled the most populous and economically productive areas of the country. On the 7th and 8th of December of that year, Japan launched simultaneous attacks on Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Philippines, Thailand, and Hawaii, and quickly expanded their empire from the central Pacific, to New Guinea, to Burma. Subsequently, the United Nations was incipiently formed (initially as ABDA), leading to the decisive battles of Coral Sea and Midway in June 1942. Moderate successes on both sides drew the conflict out until 1944, when the Allies were able to gain control of Saipan and the Philippines and begin conducting bombing runs on the Japanese home islands, ultimately leading up to the dropping of two atomic bombs and the Japanese surrender.
