World War II

Study Notes

The Second World War was a global military conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945.
The war involved the majority of the world's nations, divided into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.
It was the deadliest conflict in history, with between 50 and 70 million fatalities.
The war began with the German invasion of Poland in 1939, leading to the declaration of war by the UK and France.
Germany rapidly conquered much of Europe with its blitzkrieg tactics, while Italy's contribution was limited.
The war saw major events with massive civilian casualties, including the Holocaust and the first use of nuclear weapons.
The war altered the political and social structure of the world, leading to the emergence of the US and the USSR as superpowers and the start of the Cold War.
The war officially ended with the Japanese surrender in 1945, but peace treaties were not signed with Japan and the USSR.
The war also led to the formation of the United Nations and the beginning of decolonization in Asia and Africa.
The war had various antecedents, including aggressive actions by Germany and Japan, resistance from other countries, and declarations of war.
The Treaty of Versailles set the compensation Germany had to pay for WWI.
The treaty caused resentment in Germany and led to the rise of the Nazi party.
The Nazi party came to power in 1933 after winning elections and Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany.
The Reichstag fire in 1933 led to the declaration of a state of emergency and the illegalization of communist parties.
Hitler remilitarized Germany and pursued an aggressive foreign policy, including territorial claims in Europe.
Germany supported the military uprising of General Franco in Spain, defying the non-intervention agreement.
WWII started with the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939.
The war was fought between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) and the Allied powers (led by the US, UK, and USSR).
The war resulted in the deaths of millions of people and the devastation of many countries.
The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis powers and the formation of the United Nations.

The period between World War I and World War II was marked by political instability and the rise of totalitarian regimes.
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power in Germany, with the goal of establishing a fascist state and expanding German territory.
In 1938, Germany annexed the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, which was accepted by France and Great Britain in the Munich Agreement.
However, in 1939, Germany invaded and took control of the remaining Czech territories, establishing the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Germany also signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, dividing Europe into spheres of influence.
Italy, under the leadership of Benito Mussolini, also became a fascist state and pursued expansionist policies, establishing colonies in Africa and Albania.
Japan, although nominally a democracy, was heavily militarized and pursued expansionist policies in Asia.
Japan and China were involved in a conflict over Korea, which led to the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894.
Russia and Japan became involved in a struggle for influence in China, which led to the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
Japan declared war on Germany in 1914 and gained German possessions in the Pacific after World War I.
