What was the outcome of World War 2 for each Axis and Allied Powers?
World War Two officially started with Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939. The Axis was made up of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, fascist Italy under Benito Mussolini, and the Japanese Empire under Emperor Hirohito. The Allies were comprised of the U.S. Great Britain, and later the Soviet Union. At first, the Axis did well, with Hitler quickly overrunning mainland Europe, and Japan extending its influence in the Pacific Ocean. Eventually however, the Allies gained the advantage, especially after the failed German invasion of the Soviet Union, which began in 1941, and the Japanese defeat at the Battle of Midway in June of 1942. Germany was finally defeated when Soviet forces took Berlin in May 2, 1945, and Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945, after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, respectively. The former Axis powers were reintegrated back into the world order. Germany was divided by the Allies, with the Soviet Union controlling East Germany and the U.S., Great Britain, and France controlling West Germany. Western Europe was rebuilt under the American-led Marshall Plan, and Japan was occupied and aided by the U.S. until 1951. See the links below for more information.
How was World War 1 cause for World War 2?
After World War I ended, the four big countries of the Allies (Great Britain, United States, Italy, and France) sat down and discussed. They came up with the terms for the Treaty of Versailles. Germany thought the Treaty would essentially be based on Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points Speech, which essentially told the other countries to leave Germany alone after the war. However, David Lloyd George (prime minister of Great Britain), George's Clemenceau (prime minister of France), and Vittorio Orlando (prime minister of Italy) wanted Germany to pay for the damage they had caused to the Allies. They demanded reparations, which meant that Germany would have to pay a large sum of money to the Allies (they finished paying it back in 2010). They also confiscated Germany's colonies, which prevented Germany from paying the money back. Finally, the Treaty of Versailles contained the War-Guilt Clause, which blamed the entire war solely on Germany. Germans were outraged by these punishments, but the Allies threatened to continue the war if Germany did not sign the Treaty of Versailles, so they had to sign. Later, Hitler took advantage of the resentment that Germans felt because of the provisions in the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty also reduced Germany's military to 10,000 men in the army, but Hitler remilitarized Germany.
