World War II involved several major conflicts, primarily between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the Allied powers (primarily the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China). Key conflicts included the Blitzkrieg campaigns in Europe, the Battle of Britain, the Eastern Front battles between Germany and the Soviet Union, and the Pacific Theater battles such as Midway and Guadalcanal. The war also saw significant events like the Holocaust and the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which contributed to its devastating impact and ultimate conclusion in 1945.
