Who Were Involved in WW2?

WW2 Intro Photo (Yalta Conference) In terms of nationality, five major countries participated in WW2.

Allies

Axis

Soviet Union

There are also many other countries involved in the war. For example, led by Chairman of the Nationalist Government Chiang Kaishek, the Republic of China played a critical role in tying down many Japanese Army troops, making them unavailable to defend against the American advances in the Pacific War. Italy, too, played an important role in the political arena before the start of the European War and with her actions in North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. Poland, France, Ukraine, and other European nations suffered greatly as much of the European War was fought on their soil. Last but not least, Commonwealth nations such as Australia and Canada devoted much of their resources for the Allied cause.

To amanda hugnkiss WW II is not very boring at all if you are patriotic because Even though the US didnt get started late in WW II its still just as important as the war for independence,the Civil War,The frech and Indian war,Desert storm,Operation Iraqi Freedom, The korean war, The Vietnam war ( not really a war we did not declare war on North Vietnam more of a conflict) Every one of these wars Are very imprtant Btw WW 2 Made the UsS what it is today A WORLD SUPER POWER

in regards to ww2 being boaring i would say that it was amazing, one cant evan begin to comprehend the human loss and sacrifice,russia alone lost over 30m, people the fact that a mad man mannaged to gain contoll of germany and wadge war over europe untill the fall of the nazi empire, that lasted 6 years and wasnt over untill the russian kicked through the doors of hittlers bunker.
one thing is for shaw, a war on the same scale will never be seen again,

USA first stayed out of the war becouse people did not like to enter the war. But goverment and banks were for war and they need an excuse to enter the war. Btw, war is very very profitable thing..Sadly.
So, like many other wars(even last war agains terrorist) they needed excuse, and pearl harbour was planed and very nice excuse. Secret service knew that for japan ships movement and knew that plains are coming.
After pearl harbour people was for the ww2. And so usa entered ww2....

Today is hapening very much the same...twins in NY->excuse->Afganistan(10years to catch a man. my mom would do it in 1 week:)) -> iraq,... Who is next?

Iam from eu, and for me and many other europeans is usa(usa leaders not ordinary people) biggest terrorist on the world. I hope you will soon find out the "real thing". Come in eu to see how can life be lived with no fear.

best wishes
