World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations âincluding all of the great powers âeventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
The First World War will officially end on Sunday, 92 years after the guns fell silent, when Germany pays off the last chunk of reparations imposed on it by the Allies. Link to this video. By Allan Hall, Berlin. 1:37PM BST 28 Sep 2010.
