World War 2 Key Moment
World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, was marked by numerous key moments that significantly impacted the course of the conflict:
Invasion of Poland (1939): Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, led Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of the war.
Battle of Britain (1940): The German Luftwaffe's failed attempt to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the summer and fall of 1940 prevented Germany from invading Britain.
Pearl Harbor (1941): The Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, led to the United States entering the war, significantly bolstering the Allied forces.
Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943): This brutal battle between Germany and the Soviet Union ended in a decisive Soviet victory, marking a turning point on the Eastern Front.
D-Day (1944): On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history on the beaches of Normandy, France, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945): The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
These moments, among others, played crucial roles in the unfolding and eventual outcome of World War II.
