World War 2 (jan 1, 1939 – jan 1, 1945)

Description:

The Largest War in human history by almost all metrics. It would see the systematic murder of millions, thousands of deaths by indiscriminate bombing, and all manner of atrocities being inflicted on people as far apart as Lyon and Nanking.

It would ultimately lead to the downfall and destruction of the German, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Manchurian and Japanese regimes with many of those responsible for the bloodshed being held to account and often executed, though others escaped justice through suicide or desertion.
