The Devastating Impact of World War II: Causes and Consequences

World War II, instigated by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, brought immense suffering and loss to millions. The conflict began on September 1, 1939, with Germany's invasion of Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war. The Axis Powers—Germany, Japan, and Italy—expanded their territories aggressively. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the U.S. into the war. The conflict led to unprecedented destruction, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ultimately, the war claimed 40 to 60 million lives, leaving a lasting legacy on the world.
