The five most important wars of the 20th century: World War II (1939-1945)

            This conflict started between Germany and the Franco-British Alliance, but spread to affect the majority of the Nations of the planet. The second world war was a total war, therefore, were used all human and economic resources for each State. This conflict was unique in modern times by the fact of violence against the civilian population and the genocide (this was the extermination of Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals, among other groups). This episode or purpose of war, was caused by the (Nazi) Germany nationalist group.

            The world powers were divided into two groups: the allies and the axis powers. In this all-out war were available to all economic, military and scientific resources.

           One of the significant events of this war were: the Holocaust and the use of nuclear weapons. Taking around 50-70 million dead.

            Among this huge war, were given more conflicts between power and power. At the end of this, to sum up a bit, the war in Europe ended with the capture of Berlin by Soviet and Polish troops. For this reason, the surrender of Germany took place on May 8, 1945. The Imperial Japanese Navy was defeated by the United States, and the invasion of the Japanese archipelago became imminent. After the bombing Atomic envelope Hiroshima and Nagasaki by United, the war in Asia ended on August 15, 1945 when Japan accepted unconditional surrender.

            The war ended with total victory of the allies over the shaft. The second World War altered the political relations and the social structure of the world. The Organization of the United Nations (UN) was created by the conflagration to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The Soviet Union and the United States rose as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold war, which lasted for the next 46 years. At the same time it declined the influence of the great European powers, materialized in the beginning of decolonization in Asia and Africa. The majority of the countries whose industries had been damaged initiated the economic recovery, while the political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to establish the postwar relationship.

          Important fact: United States was the country most invested in this war. The approximate amount is $341,000 million. The second largest figure was $272,000 from Germany, the third largest number It was $192,000 of part of USSR. Britain ranks fourth with an amount of $120,000. While Italy contributed $94,000; and Japan, $56,000. This resulted in economic losses to many countries involved.
