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.
But if the Great War did not end all war, it did itself end on Nov. 11, 1918, Armistice Day, which has become our Veterans Day holiday. The First World War did not start with American involvement, but it was American involvement that finished it.
