I love reading about World War II. It's amazing to think that it involved over 100 million people.
I did not know that so many people were involved, im afraid to think how many of those died
It's hard to pin down, but most people say between 50 to 85 million casualties. That's more than the population of most countries!
That is so tragic, would you happen to know which country had the most casualties?
Absolutely. Most of them were civilians in the Soviet Union (a.k.a. Russia) and China. But there were still millions of soldiers that died, as well.
Oh, you would think most would be germans, since they started it all didnt they?
We often say that Germany started the war in 1939. But technically, Japan (their ally) declared war with China in 1937.
I did not know that it started in 1937, when did it end?
World War II
World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. A state of total war emerged, directly involving more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. The major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort
afraid to say that I think Band Aid was diabolical. Or to say that I think Bob Geldof is a nauseating character. Many people find that very unsettling, but I'll say it as loud as anyone wants me to. In the first instance the record itself was absolutely tuneless. One can have great concern for the people of Ethiopia, but it's another thing to inflict daily torture on the people of Great Britain. It was an awful record considering the mass of talent involved. And it wasn't done shyly
