Tragic Chronicle of World War II

Short Introduction

World War II was one of the biggest and deadliest wars in history,

involving not only 1 but more than 30 countries. Also, World War II called

as Second World War it is a conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during

the years 1939–45. The principal belligerents were the Axis powers—Germany, Italy,

and Japan—and the Allies—France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union,

and, to a lesser extent, China. The war was in many respects a continuation, after an

uneasy 20-year hiatus, of the disputes left unsettled by World War I. The 40,000,000–

50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the

largest war, in history.

 According to Charles S. Thomas, World War II was the largest conflict in human

history and devastated Europe, Asia, North Africa, and large portions of the Pacific. It

began as two separate wars: one involving Japan against China in the 1930s; the other

involving Germany against Poland, France, and Great Britain in 1939. With the entry of

the United States into both wars in December 1941, the two conflicts merged into a

single global struggle during which a coalition of Allied powers (the United States, the

Soviet Union, Great Britain, China, Free France, and a host of smaller nations) defeated

a coalition of Axis states (Germany, Italy, Japan, and smaller satellites). It’s hard to

imagine that a major month long battle from World War II — one that devastated a large

city, caused more than 100,000 civilian deaths and led to both a historic war crimes trial

and a Supreme Court decision — should have escaped scrutiny until now – Bob Drogin.

Significance of the study

This study focuses on World War II, it is important to pursue this study in order to

know what really happens during the World War II. The legacy of the war would include

the spread of communism from the Soviet Union into Eastern Europe as well as its

eventual triumph in China, and the global shift in power from Europe to two rival

superpowers–the United States and the Soviet Union–that would soon face off against

each other in the Cold War. Also, it is really important for students to study World War

II because it involved many different countries. It must that understand that history

shapes us. They will learn why countries chose to be on the Axis and Allied sides of the

war, and how these relationships were built over time.

lasted for 4 long years in Philippines. According to respondents the World War II started

because of Magellan and Lapu-lapu. But according to some of the research being done,

World War II started because of the surprise launched attack by the Japanese on the
Philippines just 10 hours after the attack of Pearl Harbor. Their experience with WWII is
