World war II, often abbreviated WW2 was a global military conflict which resulted from the rise of dictators such as Adolph Hitler And Benito Mussolini which in terms of lives lost and material destruction, was the most devastating war in human history. It began in 1939 as a European conflict between Germany and an Anglo-French coalition but eventually widened to include most of the nations of the world, Involving more than 60 countries, including the great powers. These nations were divided into two military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. More than any other war this one involved the commitment of nations' entire human and economic resources, in other word this was a real "Total war" and unlike World War I, World War II was fast-moving and mobile and it involved brutalities on a scale never known before. An example of these was the attempt of Germany to exterminate all the Jewish population of Europe. Even thought these war was the most widespread and many countries were involved we will never know who the winner was, because it seem like the victory got lost in 57 million people that were killed during this human endeavor, the majority of whom were civilians.
