The World at War

World War II was one of the most important

and devastating events of the twentieth century.

More than 40 million people lost their lives. The

war cost over $1 trillion. Cities were ruined.

People around the world were affected.

At the same time, great progress was made.

New technologies were invented. Medicines were

created. Discoveries changed the lives of people

all over the world. Important social changes arose

during the war. Women, African Americans, and

others were encouraged to join the work force

many for the first time. The Great Depression

came to an end in most countries.

How could such a destructive event bring

about so much good? What was it about the

war that showcased the worst and the best in

humanity?

World War II was a global war; nearly every

country took part in it in some way. The war was

fought between the Axis powers and the Allied

forces. The Axis side included Germany, Italy,

and Japan. The countries leading the Allies were

Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United

States. After six long years of fighting, the Allies

won. When the war ended, people everywhere

hoped peace would last.
