Download or read book The World War 2 Trivia Book written by Amz Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deadliest, farthest-reaching, and costliest war in human history, the Second World War, lasted from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. The war accounted for an unprecedented loss of lives-both civilians and battlefield deaths. Adolf Hitler, the autocratic leader of Germany, is touted as the villain of this human-made calamity. The German chancellor's ambition to invade all of Europe and his belief that the Aryans were the most superior race of all paved the way for this global outrage. To makes things worse, Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's loss during World War I and executed millions of them in the Nazi concentration camps. The killing of Jews is the single biggest cleansing of a particular race in modern human history. The Second World War broke out following Hitler's invasion of Poland, which saw the rise of two power blocs: Allied and Axis. All the major powers of the world-Germany, China, the Soviet Union, Britain, Italy, Japan, and France--were involved in the bloody fight that lasted six long years. Even the United States was officially brought into the war after its naval base, Pearl Harbor, was attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941. The Japanese attack was retaliation for various sanctions, including oil supplies, imposed on it by the U.S. government.The war came to end after the Germans surrendered following the death of Hitler, who committed suicide along with his wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945 in Führerbunker in Berlin. The defeated German army gave its acceptance to an unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945, to the Allied forces in Reims, France. Four months after the German defeat, Japan surrendered, on September 2, 1945, bringing an end to the abhorrence of World War II.Various events of small, big, and significant proportions determined the course of the war from 1939-1945. While we are mostly aware of the broad picture, not all of us know the little details that were equally involved in shaping the fate of the war-from changing the name of the hamburger in the U.S., to the invention of Nutella, to the accidental discovery of radar technology.
