World war 2 started it 1939 and ended in 1945. In world War 2 or also known as the Second World War, is one of the most deadly wars in the world with over 73 million fatalities. WW2 has made me questions. Questions like who started WW2, what is the cause of WW2 and so forth. Well Im here to answer maybe 1 or 2 question of WW2. How and why WW2 was triggered. Back then after WW1. Germany was facing problems. Jews that entered into Germany had then withholding food from the Germans and making money, getting food and also getting water was also a problem for the German people. Then Germany had anointed Adolf Hitler to solve the problem. He started imprisoning the Jews. Then employed German civilians to be soldiers. That brought up the economy. With Germany back on its feet, Germany went regaining its land that they have once gained in WW1. They invaded Austria in 1938.Czechoslovakia in March 1939, Lithunia on the same month then Slovakia. Then by 1st September 1939 World War 2 was declared. Now back to the topic about WW2. WW2 consists of 2 groups such which are the Allies and the Axis. Allies mainly consist of country like Britain and America and Axis consists of Japan, Germany and Italy. Japan wasnt called of japan back then. It was called the Empire of Japan and its aim is to rid East Asia of Western Powers and this war has started in 1937 with the war with the republic of China formerly known as Taiwan. This move is overlooked by a General called General Ishiwara. After the years, the Axis have been successful in most of their missions including Germany and Italy to rule Europe and East Asia for Japan. But it had hiccups in 1942, Japan lost a series of its naval battles and the European Axis Troops were defeated in South Africa. With the upcoming series of battles that Axis lost and the invasion of Italy conducted by the Allies and the Americans victory in the Pacific, the Axis took the strategic font and retreated. In 1944, the Western Allies invaded France while the Soviet Union regained its territorial losses and invaded German and its Allies. In 1945, the Japanese lost to the Americans by losing Western Pacific islands. The Europe war ended with the capture of Berlin by the Soviet and Polish troops and the subsequent surrender from the German Troops on 8th May 1945. Following the Postdam decleration by the Allies, the United States dropped nuclear bombs on Nagasaki on the 6th of August 1945 following by the bombing of Hiroshima 3 days later on the 9th of August 1945. With an invasion of the Japanese archipelago, the Soviet Union having declared war on Japan by invading Manchuria. At August 15th 1945, the Japanese surrendered. That cemented the victory of the Allies over the Axis.
