When did World War II end? This is a simple question, but the answer is more complicated than it seems. The generals from the Allies did not like this Russian move, but without it there would have been a historical injustice for the Soviets who sacrificed an entire generation to achieve the final victory.ДЄ Soviet soldier places the Soviet flag on the Reichstag in Berlin The victory days Finally, in 1945, the Red Army reached Berlin, and the war ended. For years, Germany and the Soviet Army fought against each other in Moscow, Leningrad or Stalingrad. Hitler lost two thirds of its military power trying to reach Moscow, which also explains the tremendous loss of civilian and military lives on the Soviet side. HitlerвЂ™s Germany began the war with significant victories and conquests, but the entry of the Soviet Union in the conflict was a decisive factor. In addition to those states, World War II influenced in one way or another most of the world, as only nine countries remained neutral throughout the conflict. On one side were the Axis powers: Germany, Italy, Romania, Japan and Finland and on the other side, the Allied countries: UK, USA, France, Soviet Union, Poland, Australia and Canada. The role of the Soviet UnionДЄt the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union remained neutral under the agreements signed with Germany, which Hitler broke in 1941 when the Nazis began the invasion of the Soviet Union. Several countries joined shortly afterwards to fight against Germany. The response to the attack came from the UK, which decided to fight back. It was the same war, but with different names, which began in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. But for the Russians this war was the ' Great Patriotic War'. On the other hand, Japanese and Americans fought the Pacific War. The Great Patriotic WarДЇor most Europeans, this conflict is called World War II. Today it is a holiday in Russia, where you can hear the phrase 'РЎР”РЅС‘РјРџРѕР±РµРґС‹ !' (Happy Victory Day!). It was the bloodiest conflict in the history of mankind. On May 9, 1945, after six years of fighting and seventy million people killed, World War II comes to an end.
