Where Did WW2 Take Place?
As the name suggested, events of World War II took place across the globe. Most of the combat action took place in Europe, East Asia, and islands in the Pacific Ocean, but others were seen in places as far away as Madagascar and the Aleutian Islands. Countries such as Poland, China, Russia, and Germany saw their territories directly involved in war and suffered terribly; countries such as the United States and Canada were relatively far from the action, but their citizens still fought a robust home front providing war goods for their men abroad.
WW2DB's list of WW2 events would provide a sense of geographical impact of the war.

Calm down anonymous. U r are so dumb. This is the worst website ever. I'd rather die than take information from this website.
16 Nov 2018 07:58:43 AM
All of you shut up. And it's really not up to you to criticize this website. The author of this website did a fine job. So all, take notice and think,'a person, a human being, made this website. He/She took time from their own life to make this.' I would thank them if I were you
20 Nov 2018 08:07:56 AM
i'm still little and this was great help for my school project
