The end of the second world war (el fin de la 2da guerra mundial)
Explicación:
As a result of World War II, 55 million people died worldwide. It was the largest and most destructive conflict in all of history. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, thus starting World War II. In response, Britain and France declared war on Germany. German forces invaded Western Europe in the spring of 1940. Encouraged by the Germans, the Soviet Union occupied the Baltic states in June 1940. Italy, a member of the Axis (countries allied with Germany), joined the war on June 10 1940. From July 10 to October 31, 1940, the Nazis fought, and ultimately lost, an air battle against England, known as the Battle of Britain.
After taking the Balkan region by invading Yugoslavia and Greece on April 6, 1941, the Germans and their allies invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, in complete violation of the German-Soviet Pact. In June and July 1941, the Germans also occupied the Baltic states. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin went on to be a leading wartime Allied nation leader opposing Nazi Germany and its Axis allies. During the summer and fall of 1941, German troops pushed deep into the Soviet Union. On December 6, 1941, Soviet troops launched a major counteroffensive. A day later, on December 7, 1941, Japan (one of the Axis powers) bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; as a consequence, the United States entered the war in alliance with Great Britain and the Soviet Union.
In May 1942, the British Royal Air Force carried out an assault on the German city of Cologne with a thousand bombers, and this was the first battle on German soil. Over the next three years, Allied air forces systematically bombed cities and industrial plants throughout the Reich, reducing much of Germany's urban areas to rubble by 1945.
On the Eastern Front, during the summer of 1942, the Germans and their Axis allies resumed their offensive into the Soviet Union in order to capture Stalingrad on the Volga River, as well as the city of Baku and the oil fields in the Caucasus. In the late summer of 1942, the German offensive ground to a halt on both fronts. In November, Soviet troops launched a counteroffensive at Stalingrad, and on February 2, 1943, the German Sixth Army surrendered to the Soviets. The Germans mounted one more offensive at Kursk in July 1943, the largest tank battle in history, but Soviet troops weakened the attack and gained a military supremacy that they would not relinquish for the duration of the war.
In July 1943 the Allies landed in Sicily and in September they landed in mainland Italy. After the Grand Council of the Italian Fascist Party deposed Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini (an ally of Hitler), the Italian military seized power and negotiated the surrender of Anglo-American forces on September 8. German troops stationed in Italy took control of the northern half of the peninsula and continued to resist. Mussolini, who had been arrested by the Italian military authorities, was rescued by German SS commandos in September and established (under German supervision) a neo-fascist puppet regime in northern Italy. German troops continued to control northern Italy until May 2, 1945, when it surrendered.
On June 6, 1944 (D-Day), as part of a massive military operation, more than 150 thousand Allied soldiers landed in France, which was liberated at the end of August. On September 11, 1944, the first American troops crossed into Germany, a month after Soviet troops crossed the eastern border. In mid-December, the Germans launched an unsuccessful counterattack on Belgium and northern France, known as the Battle of the Bulge. Allied air forces attacked Nazi industrial plants, such as the one in the Auschwitz camp (but the attacks never targeted the gas chambers).
On January 12, 1945, the Soviets launched an offensive liberating western Poland and forcing Hungary (an Axis ally) to surrender. In mid-February 1945, the Allies bombed the German city of Dresden, killing some 35,000 civilians. American troops crossed the Rhine River on March 7, 1945. On April 16, 1945, a final Soviet offensive allowed Soviet forces to encircle Berlin, the capital of Germany. On April 30, 1945, as Soviet troops advanced on the Reich Chancellery, Hitler committed suicide. On May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered unconditionally to the Western Allies in Reims and on May 9 to the Soviets in Berlin. The war in the Pacific ended in August, immediately after the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; bombing that caused the death of 120 thousand civilians. The Japanese formally surrendered on September 2.
