The Tweede Wereldoorlog, or Second World War, refers to the global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the majority of the world’s nations divided into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war is marked by significant events, including the widespread use of total warfare, the introduction of large-scale military strategies, and devastating battles across Europe, Asia, and other regions. Major powers in the war included Germany, Italy, and Japan as the Axis, and the United States, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and China as the Allies.
The conflict is remembered for numerous catastrophic events, such as the Holocaust, and it led to significant changes in global politics, including the establishment of the United Nations and the beginning of the Cold War. The war resulted in an estimated 70-85 million fatalities, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in human history. The Tweede Wereldoorlog profoundly shaped the geopolitical landscape of the 20th century and set the stage for social and political changes, making its consequences felt around the world even today.
