War World Two

Since middle school, I have been studying about World War 2 and every time I get to read more about it, I learn more new things. My basic overview of this War starts off with Hitler becoming the leader of Germany and him wanting to control as many countries as possible. He entered Czechoslovakia and once this happened Britain and France came into defend Czechoslovakia. Hitler started this mass chaos between all countries that were the allies and the axis. Only the neutral countries were saved. There were many people involved in this war and the most important were Stalin, Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. There were very important battles during the war, Pearl Harbor, and after, the Holocaust. Germany had to surrender the War in 1945 when the allied powers (America, France, Britain and Russia) closed in on the city of Berlin. As the result of the war, there was much detestation and help along with peace was needed. Some peaceful moves that occurred was the creation of the United Nations, and the injunction of the Nuremberg Trials. Nevertheless, it is hard to remember this War without including the deaths of millions of people. Only 6 million alone died during the Holocaust!
