Fighting in World War II occurred across multiple continents, primarily in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. Major theaters included the European front, where battles like Stalingrad and Normandy took place, and the Pacific front, featuring significant conflicts such as Midway and Iwo Jima. Additionally, North Africa saw significant fighting, particularly between Allied and Axis forces. The war's global scale also involved skirmishes in areas like the Atlantic Ocean and the Far East.
The majority of battles in World War I occurred in France primarily due to the strategic significance of the Western Front, where the German army aimed to quickly defeat France before turning to confront Russia. The Schlieffen Plan, Germany's military strategy, involved invading France through Belgium, leading to intense fighting on French soil. Additionally, France was a key member of the Allies, and both sides sought to gain control of territory that was crucial for logistics and supply lines. The resulting trench warfare led to prolonged and devastating battles that defined the conflict.
