Hi netavoreiklas,
Thank you for your question.

"on September 1st 1939, Germany invaded Poland without warning. By the
evening of September 3rd, Britain and France were at war with Germany
and within a week, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had
also joined the war. The world had been plunged into its second world
war in 25 years. Six long and bloody years of total war, fought over
many thousand of square kilometres followed. From the Hedgerows of
Normandy to the streets of Stalingrad, the icy mountains of Norway to
the sweltering deserts of Libya, the insect infested jungles of Burma
to the coral reefed islands of the pacific. On land, sea and in the
air, Poles fought Germans, Italians fought Americans and Japanese
fought Australians in a conflict which was finally settled with
nuclear weapons. World War 2 involved every major world power in a war
for global domination and at it end, more than 60 million people had
lost their lives and most of Europe and large parts of Asia lay in
ruins."

"The war ended in Europe with the surrender of Nazi Germany on May 8,
1945, but continued in Asia and the Pacific until the nuclear bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent Japanese surrender on
September 2, 1945."
