No, it started formally when Hitler ordered a faked Polish attack (by German soldiers wearing Polish uniforms) on a German radio station on September 1, 1939 (although fighting had been going on for several years before that between Italy & Ethiopia and Japan & China). In "retaliation" for this faked attack, Hitler declared war on Poland and invaded.

The war was ended by the first use of atomic bombs ever in combat when two bombs were dropped on Japanese cities: Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 & Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

There were different bombs for different things. The standard bomb had an outer casing made of steel, filled with an explosive similar to TNT. However, there were incendiary bombs, with an outer skin of thin sheet metal, and filled with a hot burning chemical mix intended to start fires. Other bombs were made to penetrate heavy concrete fortifications, a round bomb made to skip across water and destroy dams, and the atomic bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
