World War II

World War II (commonly referred to as the Second World War, WWII, or WW2) was an international war that lasted from 1939 to 1945 between the military alliances of the Allies and the Axis. Most of the established governments at the time were involved, and led by the great military powers. 
World War II was the deadlist conflict in history with nearly 80 million casualties, mostly civilians due to genocide, massacres, and disease. Most of which were attributed to Nazi Germany's layed out plan for the Holocaust, and the nationalistic policies emposed by Imperial Japan.
