World War 2 began on 3rd September 1939, when Germany failed to respond to an ultimatum from Britain to end it's occupation of Poland. The USA entered the war in 1941, following the Japanese attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbour. The war ended in Europe on 8th May 1945; Japan fought on alone for another 3 months, finally surrendering on 15th August following the dropping of the two American atom bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
