Listen to a Podcast About World War II

Examine the causes, major battles, key figures, and lasting consequences of the most devastating conflict in human history. From D-Day to Hiroshima, understand how WWII reshaped the modern world.

World War II (1939-1945) was the deadliest conflict in human history, claiming an estimated 60 to 85 million lives — roughly 3% of the world's population at the time — including the systematic murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. The war spanned every inhabited continent, from the beaches of Normandy on D-Day (June 6, 1944, when 156,000 Allied troops landed) to the Pacific island-hopping campaigns and the Eastern Front, where the Battle of Stalingrad alone produced nearly 2 million casualties. Its conclusion with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945) not only ended the war but ushered in the nuclear age and reshaped the global order through the United Nations, the Marshall Plan, and the Cold War power structure that followed.
