World War II (1 sept. 1939 – 2 sept. 1945)

Description:

Following WWI was another huge-scale, devastating, worldwide war, solidifying the World War category. The 6 years of this war shook whoever wasn’t shaken by WWI, and has and will continue to live on as a catastrophic historical event for as long (or longer) as WWI. The atomic bomb dropped at the end of WWII is perhaps the most oft-discussed event of the war, up there with Hitler’s regime and Pearl Harbor.
