Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The second world war or World War II, which took place in the year 1939-45, is considered to be one of the most destructive and fatal catastrophes in the whole world.
The second world war directly or indirectly involved almost every country with Europe, USSR, the United States, and the United Kingdom being the central collaborators. Germany, Italy, and Japan were the Axis forces and USSR, United States, and United Kingdom were the Allied forces.
With Adolf Hitler rising to power in Germany, the invasion of neighbouring Europe starting from Poland begun, waging a deadly war within and outside of Europe. The 1939 invasion of Poland prompted UK and France to declare war on Germany, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour is what prompted the United States to enter the war.
After the joining of the Axis by Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, Germany broke its pact with the Soviet Union, and ‘Operation Barbarossa’ was launched with the intention of invading the USSR. This operation proved to be the first and the most counterproductive for Germany leading to its sweeping defeat three years later.
In 1944, a Normandy Campaign was launched with the intention to invade Europe, beginning with France and concluding with the invasion of Germany, following Germany’s and Hitler’s defeat in 1945.
