Why this is the correct answer
World War II began on September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, prompting declarations of war from Britain and France. Fighting spread to virtually every continent and ocean over the following years, involving dozens of nations. Germany's unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945 ended hostilities in Europe, while fighting in the Pacific continued until Japan surrendered in September 1945.
