The Second World War was the armed conflict that broke out in 1939, between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan) and the Allies (England, France and Soviet Union). On the first of September, Hitler's troops invaded Poland. This forced Britain, France and other countries to declare war on Germany.

There is no single cause or reason for the political, economic and social conditions that unfolded in World War II, but rather a combination of all of them.

The beginning can be located in the distribution of powers and areas of influence made by the Allies in establishing the Treaty of Versailles and the inability of Britain, the dominant power at that time, to establish a new order.

The main political leaders were: Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Emperor Hirohito of Japan.

Great landmarks of the Second World War:

1939: September 1: Germany invades Poland; September 3: England and France (allies) declare war on Germany.

1940: April 9: Germany invades Norway and Denmark; May 10: Germany invades Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg; June 22: Germany takes Paris (France); August 24: Germany bombs London; October 28: Italy invades Greece.

1941: February 12: Germany disembarks troops in Libya to invade Egypt; April 6: Germany invades Yugoslavia and Greece; June 22: Germany invades the Soviet Union; 7 of December: Japan bombs the base Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) of the United States (the USA); December 8: USA declares war Japan.

1942: June 7: USA defeat Japan at the Battle of Midway; July 27: England stops the German advance in Africa at the First Battle of El Alamein: August 23: The battle of Stalingrad between Germany and the Soviet Union begins; November 3: England defeats Germany in the Second Battle of El Alamein.

1943: January 14: Conference of the allies (England, France, USA) in Casablanca (Morocco); February 2: Soviet Union defeats Germany at the Battle of Stalingrad; September 3: Allies invade Italy and 8 Italy surrenders

1944: June 6: The allies begin the Normandy landings; August 10: USA defeat Japan in the Battle of Guam; August 25: The Allies defeat Germany at the Battle of Normandy; October 20: Yugoslavians and Soviets liberate Belgrade and December 29: Hungarians and Soviets liberate Budapest.

1945: January 25: The Allies defeat Germany at the Battle of The Bulge and on March 26 US. defeat Japan in the battle of Iwo Jima; April 25: Soviet Union troops take Berlin and on April 30 Adolf Hitler commits suicide in the same city. On May 9, Germany surrenders to the allies and on June 21, the US defeat Japan in the battle of Okinawa. August 6, USA launches a nuclear bomb in Hiroshima and the 9 a nuclear bomb in Nagasaki. Japan finally surrenders on September 2: Japan surrenders to the US

Human cost of war: It had the highest number of military deaths: 8.7 million Soviet soldiers died. But in total it is believed that there were 70 million lives  that were taken.

Economic consequences: Europe was devastated. The massive bombing, executed both by the Axis powers (during the first phase of the conflict) and by the allies (in the second) aggravated the problem.

End: Japan accepted the unconditional surrender in accordance with the conditions imposed by the main allied countries. Many historians believed that this was the symbolic end of the conflict.

Who began Quebec, the first permanent French colony.
Gemiola [76]
Quebec was founded in 1608 by a guy named Samuel de Champlain. Some other towns had been added before Quebec, but Quebec was the first town that was meant to be a permanent settlement, and not just a simple trading post that was to be taken down after a few years of use.

What action did the Radical Republicans take during Reconstruction?
lbvjy [14]

The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "Radicals" and were opposed during the War by the Moderate Republicans (led by President Abraham Lincoln), by the conservative Republicans, and the largely pro-slavery and later anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party, as well as by conservatives in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction.[1] Radicals strongly opposed slavery during the war and after the war distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for punishing the former rebels, and emphasizing equality, civil rights, and voting rights for the "freedmen" (recently freed slaves).[2]

During the war, Radical Republicans often opposed Lincoln in terms of selection of generals (especially his choice of DemocratGeorge B. McClellan for top command of the major eastern Army of the Potomac) and his efforts to bring seceded Southern states back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible. The Radicals passed their own reconstruction plan through the Congress in 1864, but Lincoln vetoed it and was putting his own presidential policies in effect by virtue as military commander-in-chief when he was assassinated in April 1865.[3] Radicals pushed for the uncompensated abolition of slavery, while Lincoln wanted to pay slave owners who were loyal to the Union. After the war, the Radicals demanded civil rights for freedmen, such as measures ensuring suffrage. They initiated the various Reconstruction Acts, and limited political and voting rights for ex-Confederate civil officials, military officers and soldiers. They bitterly fought President Andrew Johnson; they weakened his powers and attempted to remove him from office through impeachment, which failed by one vote in 1868.
