World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries, including all of the great powers, and was fought on multiple continents. The war resulted in an estimated 50 million to 80 million deaths, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in human history. The primary combatants were Nazi Germany and its allies against the Allied Powers led by Britain, France, Russia and eventually the United States. Major battles were fought throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia with significant naval engagements in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The war ended with Germany's surrender in May 1945 following their defeat at Berlin by Soviet forces. This marked a decisive victory for Allied forces over Nazi Germany and its allies which ultimately led to peace across Europe.
