'''1. World War II: when, where, who and why? Explain.'''
War War II began in 1939, when Germany invaded Poland and Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. It ended on August 15th, 1945, when Japanese Emperor Hirohito accepted the Potsdam Declaration, which called for unconditional surrender. It was fought in Europe and the Pacific, as these were the locations of the greatest instigators of the war. Several great world leaders were involved including, Winston Churchill of Britain, Joseph Stalin of Russia, Adolf Hitler of Germany, Franklin Roosevelt of America, Benito Mussolini of Italy and Emperor Hirohito of Japan. It was the result of rising nationalism in both Germany and Japan, in which fascism played a large role.
