World War II: Battles & Heroes Our site takes you back to the
1940s when the world was engulfed in possibly the worst war in
history, World War II. The German leader, Adolf Hitler, was
aiming toward world domination. The Allies, under Dwight
Eisenhower, consisted of countries such as Great Britain,
France, Russia, and the United States. These countries united to
take on Hitler's Nazi army, Italy, and Japan. We would like to
recognize some of America's famous leaders and veterans who
risked their lives for our country and also discuss the major
battles of World War II. We encourage you to honor a special
veteran in your life by submitting information to use on our
web-site. Raising American Flag on Iwo Jima. Photo by Joe
