I'm literally gonna say the same thing I did to a previous question...
WW2 lasted from 1939-1945.
so a scattered overview would be that
- we (US) got involved in 1941 because of the pearl harbor bombing where japan attacked us forces.
- Hitler hates the Treaty of Versailles (made previously in WW1 placing full blame on Germany) so he rebuilds the military, and starts to invade places such as Poland to expand (thus violating the treaty)
-The whole anti-semetism sparked, anyone opposing the Nazis would be punished...blah, blah.
- Britain and France declared war on Germany
(Hitler failed in his attempt to take over Russia (literally same thing that happened to Napoleon))
- Many other invasions (Italy, Poland etc)
- D- day (the day the allied forces would attack German forces)
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the involvement of japan.
This is much more of a broader subject. I can go right into the holocaust, and then the events after leading to the cold war and arms race.
Let me know if you need more info, or more details.
