WORLD WAR 2
It is a war against the Axis Powers and the Entente. Using blitzkrieg, France was easily swept through. It had also declared war on the Soviets (also known as Operation Barbarossa) which failed terribly due to the fact that the Soviets reigns supreme in the winter. The introduction of America pushed the Nazis out of Africa and already gained a foothold of Sicily. They also planned a D-Day landing in Normandy with the objective of creating a new front and liberating France. Soon enough this was successful and France was liberated. While this was going on, the Soviets make heavy progress and took back all their lands and even pushed into German lands as well as the allies. The Soviets reached Berlin and Hitler supposedly shot himself and the armistice was signed. This was World War 2 in a nutshell.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
I would believe that genocides of any population were more recognised now after the atrocities committed by the Nazis to the Jews in the holocaust. The UN was created which helped keep peace and prevent any other conflicts as large as either World Wars. Overall, world war 2 was almost like a teaching moment to us to show how the lives lost was not worth it. However, the world war actually did help speed up many of the technological advancements like the nuclear bombs or improvements to tanks or planes.
