World War II, also known as the Second World War, was the largest and deadliest war in history. Generally regarded as taking place between 1939 and 1945, with roots in earlier conflicts, it culminated in the dropping of the atomic bomb.
The Allied Powers, led by the British Empire and Commonwealth, the Soviet Union, and the United States, defeated the Axis Powers, led by Germany, Italy, and Japan.
The war was fought in response to the military aggression of Nazi Germany under the fascist dictator Adolf Hitler, and the imperial ambitions of Japan in Asia.
