One of the (many) causes of WW2 was the monetary reparations forced upon Germany following WW1.  The Treaty of Versailles (which states how much the Germans 'owed', among other forms of 'punishment') was greatly hated in Germany and gave momentum to both the Nazi and the Communist movements in Germany.  Not wanting a repeat of that, after WW2, the allied forces decided to go a completely different way with their defeated enemies - military occupation.  Rather than forcing Germany and Japan to make payments, the allied forces divided up the areas controlled by Germany and Japan.

Essentially, WW2 was a result of this and other factors, including unrealistic expectations and unresolved conflicts from WW1. Millions were killed in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, Asia, China, the Pacific Island nations, the US troops fighting in those theaters of war, and involved virtually the entire world. The United States emerged as the leading powerhouse and the Soviet Union a major nemesis until its collapse in 1989-1990.

A little more detail about what you're after would help.  One really good source of information is a show called The World at War.  It's available on DVD and talks about the causes of the war in great detail and shows footage of the war.  It's really amazing and would probably answer any questions you have about WWII.

Here is a very nice world war 2 weapons site. The site is divided into sections (rifles, machine guns etc..) for every major nation involved. It even shows a picture of the weapon discussed

Very low, as you will have to factor in the millions of veterans returning from World War II, and their tuition would be heavily subsidized by the GI Bill.

The source below says that it was Wilson, who jumped from outlays of $713 million in 1916 to $1.954 billion in 1917 because of the costs of WWI. However, they lump all of 1789-1849 and 1850-1900 into two large categories. However, it is unlikely that spending reached one billion dollars during that period.

There is an article at the link below that provides a lot of information surrounding the bombing.\n\nhttp://www.doug-long.com/hiroshim.htm\n\nFrom what I know, based on the outrageous outcomes of the battles in the Pacific, primarily Iwo Gima, military analysts determined that the human cost of invading mainland Japan would have been extreme. Analysts figured American losses to be between 500,000 and 750,000, and Japanese losses at 2.5 - 3.2 million. The two A-Bomb attacks only cost 200,000 Japanese losses and forced them into a surrender. Americans were weary of the war after 4 years of intense fighting and wanted it to end. The bombings brought that end; saving America from another estimated 2 years of fighting and both countries millions of lives combined.

for the USA the war lasted about five years. from 1941 to 1945.\n\nFor Europe and the Pacific countries the war lasted almost 7 years. from 1939 to 1945.\n\nIm not sure when war was offically declared, but Hitler started invading countries in 1939. that was also the year he began persecuting the jews.\n\nI know for sure that the war ended in 1945.
