About World War II
World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, fought between two major military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. Almost all nations across the globe participated in the war, engaging in an unprecedented scale of total warfare. The war claimed between 60 to 75 million lives, a majority of whom were innocent civilians who perished due to massacres, starvation, disease, and the Holocaust. Following the Allied victory, occupied territories including Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea underwent reconstruction, while Axis leaders were tried for war crimes.
