I LOVE Lord of the Flies. \nWell, here goes:\nWW2 started in the Pacific in 1937. It started in Europe in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and defeated the nation a month or so later. They also ended up invading and conquering the Netherlands, Denmark, the Balkans, Greece, etc.\nThe Germans were doing great; in fact, they were even defeating the British, when they stupidly invaded the Soviet Union in June of 1940. They managed to get all the way into the mainland (Russia), but were beaten back after the siege of Leningrad ended, Moscow was not taken, and Stalingrad was won by the Soviets.\nMeanwhile the Americans were attacked in 1941 by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. The US was already mobilizing for war, and the day after Pearl Harbor, our congress declared war on Japan. A day after that, Germany declared war on us. We spent a while training our troops, meanwhile sending many to the Pacific theater early on in 1942 to fight Japan. We finally went into Continental Europe with the Brits and Canadians on June 6, 1944 or D-day. We won, pushing the Germans east out of France. The Italians abandoned their allies the Germans, and sided with the Americans and company.\nWe went into Belgium and the Netherlands with our allies the British and Canadians, liberated them, then finally penetrated Germany itself.\nWe were about to take Berlin, but decided against it. We allowed the Soviets to take it instead, because they were more willing to tolerate the huge amount of casualties it took to take that one city.\nIn the Pacific, we island hopped, meaning we liberated island after island. We were about to go into Tokyo, but decided against it. Too many casualties. So, instead of course we dropped the atomic bombs! \nIn the end both Germany and her remaining allies, Hungary, Romania, etc. surrendered, as did Japan in the pacific.\nHitler killed himself, as did most of his staff, and the Japanese people were forbidden by the US to "emperor worship", which is what caused the war in Japan in the first place.\nHope this helps.

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia, and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire). The war caused the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe and the Middle East.

While concerned, Britain and France both basically gave Germany what it wanted during the Munich Conference of 1938, believing that the decision would prevent war and stop Germany's expansionist moves.\nIn 1939, Germany invaded Poland and World War II began.

Australia entered World War II shortly after the Invasion of Poland, declaring war on Germany on September 3rd, 1939. By the end of the war almost a million Australians had served in the Australian armed forces and Australian military units had seen combat in Europe, North Africa, and the South-West Pacific. In addition, Australia came under direct attack for the first time in its history. 39,366 Australians were killed and 23,477 were wounded by enemy action during the war.\n\nFollowing the Japanese attacks on South East Asia in late 1941, Australia was attacked itself during the Air raids on Darwin, February 19, 1942, resulting in at least 243 civilian and military deaths. Australian troops were sent home from the Middle East to defend the country from a feared Japanese invasion of Australia. This invasion did not occur, however, and the Japanese did not ever intend to invade the Australian mainland.\n\nThe Statute of Westminster 1931 formally ended most of the constitutional links between Australia and the United Kingdom when Australia adopted it in 1942. The shock of the United Kingdom's defeat in Asia in 1942 and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector. Since 1951, Australia has been a formal military ally of the US under the auspices of the ANZUS treaty. After World War II, Australia encouraged mass immigration from Europe

It officially drew us into World War II.  Just days after the Japanese attack on the Pacific Fleet Germany and Italy declared war on the United States drawing us into both theaters of the conflict.  On December 7, 1941 our Pacific Fleet was all but destroyed by the Japanese sneak attack.  This left us vulnerable in the Pacific and very much on the defensive for the first few months of the war.  We overcame these early obstacles, yet it still took nearly a full 4 years to bring the war to an end.

which world war? there was two. if it was world war I then ok; world war 1 started on 1914, ended in 1918. June 28, 1914, reason why? Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of Austria) was assassinated by a team of \nSerbian nationalists while he was in Sarajevo to assert\nAustrian imperial authority over Bosnia, a Slavic territory.\n\nThis assassination triggered the cascade of events that quickly produced war world 1, which were fought by; 2 sides \n\nThe Allied Powers\n-\n led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States entered war.\n\nthe Central Powers (this side lost) \n-\nled by the German Empire,Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (aka turkey dinasty.) \nThis is how it went;\nArchduke Franz Ferdinand was assesinated by a group of serbian nationalist while trying to assert austrias control of bosnia.\nAustria extremely mad about this, backed by Berlin, attacked Serbia on July 29 in retaliation, and Germany (a big austrian backer at that time, which secretly wanted a bigger presence in europe) invaded Belgium on August 3. Thus, the war commenced; also Germany and Austria-Hungary are seen as the initial aggressors, and thus, responsible for the outbreak of war world 1. Germany was assigned the guilt although, it was humiliated in 1920 by The War Guilt clause, or Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles/Treaty of Trianon, (proclaimed as the initial AGGRESORS) and required to pay war reparations and all future costs, such as pensions for all the Allied veterans. these payments were stopped however by hitler in 1933, the same year he became chancellor (not fuhrer yet). this war ended in 1918 shortly after the U.S joined-in, in 1917, and the Allied powers defeated the central.\n-\nnow world war II;\ntook place between 1939 and 1945. it IS to this day the biggest, largest and deadliest war ever seen.\nJapan had been fighting china for many years, but the "world" war is said to have begun on September 1, 1939 when as you know Germany with the soviet union (through a secret war pact before the war.) invaded Poland.  two days later france and britain declared war on germany. The "allies" (Poland, British Commonwealth, France) left battles strictly in poland untill May, 1940 Germany invaded Western Europe, taking on the British and French militaries. Six weeks later, france surrendered to germa. \n3months later, Germ, Italy,& Jap signed a mutual defense agreement, Tripartite Pact, and were known as the Axis Powers. soviet union got into the war, when germany double-crossed them and invaded soviet land. forcing unwillingly the soviets to the allied camp. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States (pearl harbor) bringing it too into the war on the Allied side. japan was on axis powers side (nazi side) after these events china instantly joined the allied side, as most of the rest of the world after  1940\nin 1942 Britain, USA, USSR, were fighting Germany and Italy; and all allies (except USSR) were fighting Japan. From then through August 1945, battles raged across all of Europe, in the North Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, throughout China, across the Pacific Ocean and, by air, in Japan.\nItaly surrendered in September 1943, Germany in May 1945. The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war, on September 2, 1945.\nHitler killed himself, along with his wife Eva braun (who he married few days before) and his 2 dogs on April 30, 1945 in a underground bunker there bodies were incinerated by servants by request; because of hitlers fear that what happend to mussolini (hanged by his toes) they would also do to his corpse.\nnote an estimated 60 million people died in this war estimates vary; About 64% of all casualties were civilians.\n3 million of them were polish jews, and 2 million polish "gentiles"

Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany. After six months of negotiations which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies.

It's obvious that you are not a "historian" by any stretch of the imagination.  To be truthful with you, WW II started on 11/11/1918.  The treaty of Versailles was not inforced by the "League of Nations" as it should have been.  The "Great Depression" which began in 1929 devastated the world's economy.  With this having been said, Hitler was a very charasmetic person who played on the German people's fears and their anger.  \n\nGermany began by annexing Austria as well as other Germanic counties that were broken up due to the Treaty of Versailles.  His emphasis of German "nationalism" united the former empire, thus creating the "Third Reich".  Poland was annexed (by invasion) in September of 1939 and this was the "last straw" for England.  France was invaded  in 1940 and quickly fell.  \n\nThere was no one left to stand against Germany (Hitler) but England.  Hitler then began his "blitzkreig" against England. \n\nThe U.S. entered WW II on December 7, 1941 due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the destruction of our Pacific fleet.  \n\nI could go on and on but, I don't think that this forum could handle much more information.  May I suggest that you read some books on WW I as well as WW II and you will see for yourself the political events that lead up to the beginning of WW II.  And of course you will find out that most of Hitler's conquests were to gather the raw materials that would have enabled him to conquor the entire world.  \n\n"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".  This is why we (U.S.) must oppose tyrinical governments such as Iraq and the terrorism that he (and others like him) would like to inflict upon The United States of America.  Read, read and read some more.
