The Second World War shook the whole earth.
Reaching across the globe and lasting six years, it was the most devastating and most costly war that has ever been fought. Claiming up to 70 million lives, more than double the number of those lost in WWI, it left a mark that was felt for many generations to come.
Fought between the Axis powers of imperialist and fascist countries (Germany, Japan, and Italy) and the uneasy combination of Allies (Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union along with others), the war spread over much of the world map to include virtually every country. It pitted old rivals against each other while bringing unlikely enemies to have to work together.
Old European powers that had reigned over the political stage for so long, were brought to their knees, while new superpowers like United States and the Soviet Union rose up to take charge. This shift of ideologies would later result in a new conflict called the Cold War where democracy and communism took center stage.
“Filled with incredible stories, you will find yourself back in the middle of the Second World War; face to face with leaders who shaped the course of history, fighting alongside soldiers in the heat of battle, and living through extraordinary moments with those who endured.”
World War 2 for Teens will give you more than just the dates, facts, and figures; it will fill in the exciting stories of what happened by revealing the gritty details of how the battles were won and paint vivid pictures of the key players.
- The causes of the war and who was involved.
- The major battles and the turning points of the war, along with statistics and incredible stories of heroism.
- The rise and fall of Adolf Hitler; his ambitions, mistakes, and twisted ideologies.
- Winston Churchill’s inspiring stand against the Germans as he rallied Britain to fight against the evil of the Axis powers.
- America’s reluctance to join in the conflict and how the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor forced their hand.
- The Soviet Union’s part in WW2 and their Red Army as they held off the Nazis in the Siege of Leningrad during the bitter Russian winter.
- The Holocaust and how Hitler tried to wipe out the Jews in a systematic strategy of death.
Strap on your helmet, tighten your boots, and find out all you can about the moment in history that changed the entire world!
