A big fight involving guns and bombs and people dying.
Hitler and the Germans lost it and he said "screw this." And shot himself. That's basically what happened.

World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. In a total war directly involving more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and the only two uses of nuclear weapons in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, a majority being civilians. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, massacres, and disease. In the wake of the Axis defeat, Germany and Japan were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against German and Japanese leaders.
World War II was bad

The Americans did not single handedly win the war. Maybe the naval war, but how about the Russians at Starlingrad destroying the German Eastern Front? How about Montgomery in Africa? Just a little naieve to think that the whole of World War II was won in 2 battles by the Americans. Also, you ignored the War until it became a threat to you and you thought GB might fall. I assume you just learnt about those 2 battles in history today? Maybe you'll do the other bits later in the semester
Yank: Hey, didn't we win World War II by ourself?

The sequel to World War I
1. An overrated massive war you've probably heard about a trillion times (because it was the last justified war in the Western world, unlike Vietnam, Falklands, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) between various countries, particularly the Allies vs Axis powers, the most popular contendants are USA, UK, Russia, France, Germany and Japan, but seemingly people forget Canada, Australia, China, etc.
It occured between 1939 and 1945 (not 1941-1945, contrary to what the United States Education System says, just because USA entered the war then).
2. A war in many First Person Shooter games where one person (usually American) singlehandedly defeats an entire German Army and the wins the war.

You're always told to thank World War II veterans (who themselves just want to chill and forget about the war) that you can speak, write, speak English, read, shit freely etc. despite the fact WWII ended 65 years ago and the world has moved on. I do not care if some crazy Austrian-German man in the 1930's wanted to conquer the world and exterminate retards and jews, hasn't many countries such as Britain did that like 100 times already? Isn't USA doing that now by killing the world with its mass produced McDonalds resteraunts making everyone obese and shitty cars that break down easily, or cheaply made Xbox 360 consoles that blow up in your face, oh and lets not forget dawdling their dick in Iraq in some attempt to take their oil and force a flawed "democracy" down their neck?

The Deadliest War in HISTORY. An estimated total of 70 - 85 million people perished, many more were injured. About 3% of the population of earth died. Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian deaths) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine. The Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) had the most deaths in World War II. U.S.S.R. lost about 17 million people. The most affected country wasn't the Soviet Union, it was Poland. Poland lost 16% of its population, the most of any country in any war. 6 million to be exact

4. Germans inflicted a much better result than there numbers would have predicted. In the whole of Germany, at the PEAK PEAK of production, 100ish Tiger tanks were made per month. U.S.... 54,000 Shermans were made in one year. 3 Jagdpanthers (a type of tank) destroyed 47 Shermans in one battle strategically places.
5. U.S. advanced hardly a mile on good days. Germany was advancing 20-40 or so miles when it was making advances. Russia advanced on par with some German advances and was significant better than the U.S. and while it is big in land, it was not a huge economic superpower. Think about, U.S. went from the coast of France and advanced how much in 1 year? They even lost the race to Berlin to Russia considering they were only so many miles away compared to Russia....
6. Saving American lives. Americans had such a conservative attitude. This is the reason why we are losing in Afghanistan. The real Russian soldiers, charged fearlessly, and were shot if they retreated. The house to house, door to door, put your head up for 3 seconds and get sniped situations, were the real hardships endured by Russian soldiers.
7. U.S. had the best production and technology in just economy and failed. It had bad generals compared to Germans.
