How and when did the Second World War start? World War II began on 1 September 1939. 7 to 8 crore people were killed in this war that lasted for about 6 years. On September 1, Germany, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland with the intention of occupying it. Shocked by this attack, Britain and France came forward to help Poland.
After this, Italy and Japan came face to face with Germany while France, Britain, America, Soviet Union and to some extent China came face to face with Poland. After this this war turned into a world war. Like the First World War, this war was also fought between two groups. German dictator Hitler committed suicide on 30 April 1945 after seeing Germany losing the war.
A week after Hitler's death, Germany signed the papers of unconditional surrender. After this, on May 8, Germany officially accepted defeat. However, Japan still continued the war. On August 6 and 9, America attacked Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan with atomic bombs, after which the World War ended.
