image001image005image007image009

 

With the rise of dictators in Europe and Japan, the world during the late 1930s and the 1940s became politically unstable. The quest for land, power, and resources using war as the medium would engulf all the world’s continents in the largest conflict in human history. At the outset, the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan would take the offensive and swiftly overtake nations. As the Allied powers began to mobilize, and with the entry of the U.S. later in the war, the tide began to turn. Some brilliant strategic maneuvers along with some Axis power mistakes would earn the Allied powers a victory which would forever change the political, social, and economic landscape of the world.
