The Fallen of World War II. Apparently we live in one of the most peaceful times in human history.
The main cause of World War II was the aggression of Nazi Germany and its leader, Adolf Hitler. Hitler's expansionist policies and desire for world domination led to the invasion of Poland in 1939, which sparked the war.
Estimates vary, but it is believed that around 75 million people died during World War II. This includes civilian casualties, as well as military deaths.
Some of the major events of World War II include the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan, the D-Day invasion by Allied forces, and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States.
The main countries involved in World War II were the Allied powers, including the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and France, and the Axis powers, including Germany, Japan, and Italy. However, many other countries were also involved in the war in some capacity.
World War II ended with the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945 and the surrender of Japan in September 1945. This followed the defeat of Axis forces by the Allied powers in various battles and campaigns.
