Explanation:

These terms are all related to the Second World War. This war, also known as World War II, lasted from 1939 to 1945. During these years, much of the world (more than 30 countries) were in conflict as part of two major alliances: the Allies and the Axis. This was the deadliest conflict in history, with particularly high casualties in China and the Soviet Union. It is also infamous for its genocide of Jewish people and other minorities in Europe.
