World War 2 Timeline
I want to dedicate this blog to the World War 2. Timeline will be explained in details and anything that has to do with world war 2 will be told to you. So lets get this started.
Introduction to World War 2.
World war II was a global military conflict. It initially started with two seperate conflicts. The first one began in Asai in 1937 and the other one begain in Europe with the Germans invading Poland. This global confict split the majority of the world’s nation into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis Powers. Spanning much of the globe, World War two resulted in the death of over 60 million people, makin it the dealiest conflict in human history.
World War II involved the mobilization of over 100 million military personnel, making it the most widespread war in history. The war placed the participants in a state of “total war”, erasing the distinction between civil and military resources. This resulted in the complete activation 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. Nearly 11 million of these civilian casualties were victims of the Holocaust—which was conducted by Nazi Germany—largely in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The financial cost of the war is estimated at about a trillion 1944 U.S. dollars worldwide, making it the most expensive war in capital as well as lives.
The Allies were victorious, and, as a result, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as the world’s two leading superpowers. This set the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next 45 years. The United Nations was formed in hopes of preventing another such conflict. The self determination spawned by the war gave rise to decolonization movements in Asia and Africa, while Europe itself began moving toward integration.
