World War 2 was the second world war and had many different countries fighting. There were many bad things that happened during the war and many people had lost their lives. The Nazis had a lot of power as they wanted complete control. The United States had wanted to stay out of the war but when the Japanese had struck Pearl Harbor we had no choice. The war had ended when the axis powers had surrendered and a week after they did Hitler had killed himself. The war was a very rough time for the world as many people had died. We will never truly know what it was like unless we ask our relatives but we can always research it and learn more about the war.
