World War II was the most devastating and bloody military conflict in human history. It ran from 1939 to 1945 and was attended by most of the world's countries. In total, the this conflict has claimed more than 70 million victims on lives. 2025 marks 80 years since the end of this devastating war. Let us therefore recall the events that took place during it. The heroism of the allies who fought on all fronts for freedom against the Axis countries. It all began on 1 September 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. The fall of France followed. The Battle of Britain and the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. For Europe, everything looked hopeless because the Nazis occupied almost all of Europe. But then the Battle of Staligrad came and the war turned. The Soviets had defended Moscow, and after the Battle of Kursk it was clear that the eastern front was lost to the for Germans. In 1944, the Western Front was open. Allied forces made a successful landing in Normandy. The Americans, Soviets, British, and other allies gradually liberated Europe from the German occupiers, revealing their heinous crimes. In the end, the last decisive battle for Berlin took place, and Nazi Germany was defeated, ending World War II in Europe. These historical events included a number of personal stories of ordinary soldiers and civilians who were fully experiencing the horrors of World War II.
