Explained simply
The Second World War was fought from 1939 to 1945, involving countries across Europe, Asia and beyond. It began after Nazi Germany invaded Poland and ended with the defeat of Germany and Japan, leaving tens of millions dead and reshaping international politics.
The war is often discussed in relation to the rise of dictatorships, the persecution and murder of Jewish people and other groups, and the dangers of aggressive expansion. Governments and historians continue to debate what lessons can be drawn from those events and how they apply to later conflicts.
