World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved most of the world’s nations, divided into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war was characterized by significant military campaigns, aerial bombing, naval battles, and large-scale ground warfare across multiple theaters, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. It resulted in widespread devastation, loss of life, and significant geopolitical changes, ultimately leading to the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as superpowers.
