A Brief Look at World War II

World War II started when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. This action started the war and violated the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed by Germany after World War I. When World War I ended, the treaty of Versailles was put into place on June 28, 1919. This treaty changed the boundaries of Germany, ordered Germany to pay for all the destruction it caused, and made sure it never invaded another country (“World War I: Treaties and Reparations”). When Hitler got into power he wanted nothing to do with this treaty, and he canceled it.

One of the most unfortunate yet necessary aspects of leading a nation is facing the prospect of war. As devastating as war can be, it often is key to ensuring a nation 's freedom and protection. One war that was certainly devastating on both sides of the battlefield was World War II. The tension in the Japanese-American relationship had been boiling for a while, between the military blockade of Japan, and Japan’s intrusion into China in direct violation of the Open-Door policy, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was the exploding point for the War that would eventually lead up to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The weapons dropped on these two cities were used for a number of reasons, but ultimately this decision would end up

I have decided to write about World War II, because it was the most deadly Conflict of all of the Wars that we have yet to witness. World War II dated from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. World War II was fought in Europe, the Pacific, Atlantic, South-East Asia, China, Middle East, Mediterranean and Northern Africa. It was a War between the Allied Nations and the Axis Nations. The Allied nations included mostly United States soldiers but also included soldiers from at least twelve different nations. The Main Allied powers were France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The other Allies of the United Nations were Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominican Republic, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Poland, Salvador, South Africa, Yugoslavia, Philippines, Mexico, Ethiopia, Iraq, some freed Frenchman, and some freed Danes. The Commanders of the Allied Forces were Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and Charles de Gaulle. The Commanders of the Axis Forces were Adolf Hitler, Hirohito, and Benito Mussolini.

World War II started on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. France and Great Britain declared war on Germany September 3rd. After France and Great Britain declared war on Germany they mobilized their armies and stationed their troops. Waiting for Germany to attack, but they never did. This eventually became known as the Phony War. By the end of May in 1940 the Germans had trapped all of the allied forces around a northern French city. Allies went to the beaches at Dunkirk because they were outnumbered, and outgunned. Great Britain set out to rescue the army, by sending about 850 ships across the English channel to Dunkirk. They sent many other things in the rescue effort. After Dunkirk resistance in France started to collapse, and by June 14, the Germans took Paris.

Let’s go back to the time when WWII took place from 1939 to 1945. A global war aka the “Second World War” World War II had many casualties pitting 2 alliances against each other the “Axis powers” and the “Allied powers.” Germany, Japan and Italy made up the “Axis powers.” France, Poland and Great Britain made up the “Allied powers.” Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately 1 million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities, making World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. It was also the most widespread war in history, involving more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In time the above referenced alliances grew.

The unfortunate World War II (WWII) began On September 1st 1939 and it ended in the year of 1945. Even though this war only lasted six years, it cost more than 60 million lives. Except Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, another great power was the Soviet Union, led by Joseph Stalin. Stalin and Hitler signed a nonaggression pact that stated that they would not fight against each other in the war, and both agreed to divide Poland between them. Not only that but USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republic) would also take over Finland, and Baltic countries such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. After signing the pact, Hitler invaded Poland, by using blitzkrieg strategy, or lighting war. This strategy involved fast moving tanks and airplanes bombing

From 1939-1945, World War II left the world scarred from the memories of war on the European and Pacific theaters. World War II consisted of two sides the Alliance power and the Axis power. The Alliance power consisted of the fallen French, down to the last stand of Great Britain, the communist Russia, and a little later in the war the democratic United States. The Axis power consisted of the power crazed Nazi Germany, the dictatorship of Italy, and the Bushido trained Japan. World War II was truly the constant battle of halting the Axis power from taking over the majority of the world. Japan lured the neutral United States into World War II by bombing Pearl Harbor, Which is a result of the United States forcing themselves in the line of trade

World War 2 was undoubtedly one of the most important events in history not only for what happened throughout the six years of war but also the aftermath of the war. Beyond the casualties and deaths this devastating war would open new doors for technology advancement, medicine innovations and creations also changes in music ,art ,sports and culture. Furthermore back home in the United States the role of women was beginning to shape up during the conflict at the other side of the world . Previous verbal arguments between countries escalated and led to previous physical encounters.Such as that of the first world war which took place from July 28, 1919 until November 11,1918 with an estimated 16.5 million deaths in both military and civilian

In the after math of World War 1 Germany was in a demolished state. All of the cities were in ruin and it was in the ashes of the former glory that it had once been in. the German people had to try and rebuild their destroyed country. But this was incredibly hard due to the fact that the treaty of Versailles was squeezing what little amount of revenue they were able to generate in the economy. Germany had to do something, they needed something or someone to bring them back to their former glory and help them become a major power in the world again. Soon they would get just what they needed.

Southeastern Europe was on the very edge of financial disarray, due to the war. This suggests the conspicuous conversation starter: Who will pay? Those economies which are most needing profitable ventures, are the ones slightest fit for thinking of the required money related assets locally or abroad. Along these lines, if the course of financial improvement here were left to the rationale of the free market, there would be no expectation of repairing or enhancing anything. Luckily, we know from the German "financial marvel" after World War II, that there is another approach to

War is a standout amongst the most unfortunate things in our reality today. It is considerably sadder that for the most part it comes around in any event once in our lifetime. In the twentieth century alone we have as of now had two enormous wars. These wars are known as the World Wars just on the grounds that they included a large portion of the huge nations of the world. Numerous individuals have died in these wars particularly in the World War 2. War II was a standout amongst the most dangerous wars we know ever, having upwards of sixty million losses, the greater part of whom were regular folks. It affected a great deal of nations, all the world, which is the reason the name is given. This war affected numerous nations on the planet, and harmed the majority of the nations included enormously. It additionally prompted the destruction of Western European nations as world forces, abandoning it to the Soviet Union, and the United States. The war began in 1939 and finished in 1945, with the attack of Poland and the Axis surrender, separately. It changed the economy and the development of huge nations, including Germany, Great Britain, United States, Japan, Russia and France.

Despite varying opinions on what actual triggered the start of World War II, Hitler ordering the invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 is believed to be the true mark of the beginning of the Second World War. Germany had been pondering war with Poland since the 1920s and recovering lost territory was considered the main objective (Radzilowski J., 2004). However, the initial reason for the German invasion of Poland was “Hitler’s drive for Lebensraum (living space) in the east (Beevor A., 2012).” Hitler’s so called “drive for living space” resulted in the consequence of the single most deadly war in world history to date. As a result of the invasion, since Poland was in alliance with Britain and France, Poland received support from both countries.

On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, which marked the beginning of the World War II. The Soviet Union isolated Poland due to the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact which was signed a few days before the war . Poland, thus isolated, was defeated by Nazi Germany. In 1944, the Polish underground resistance planned a rebellion against Nazi forces which leads to the Warsaw Uprising. However, the Warsaw uprising was failed due to lack of outside support.

“Never in the field of human conflict, was so much, owed by so many, to so few,” Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom 1940-1945, and 1951 to 1955. World War II proved to be a deadly conflict, costing the lives of an estimated 72 million, 4 hundred 68 thousand, and 9 hundred deaths, according to www.secondworldwarhistory.com accessed December 10, 2016. The deadly conflict began on September 1, 1939, with Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland, and would not end until the surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945 aboard the U.S.S. Missouri. The toilsome war, began from the formation and actions of the Axis powers, composed of Italy, Germany, and Japan, who were united under fascism.
