World War II was the deadliest and most widespread conflict in human history, lasting from 1939 to 1945. It involved over 30 countries and led to the deaths of an estimated 70–85 million people. Here's a full summary of the war's events and consequences, divided into key phases:

1. Background (Post-WWI and the Rise of Dictatorships)

After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 punished Germany harshly, leading to economic ruin and national humiliation. This created fertile ground for the rise of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, who promised to restore German pride and expand its territory.

Meanwhile:

Italy became fascist under Benito Mussolini in the 1920s.

Japan militarized and began expanding into Asia (invading Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937).

2. The Outbreak of War (1939)

September 1, 1939: Germany invaded Poland.

September 3: Britain and France declared war on Germany.

The Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland shortly after, per the Nazi-Soviet Pact (a non-aggression treaty with secret plans to divide Eastern Europe.

3. Early Axis Victories (1939–1941)

Germany used blitzkrieg ("lightning war") tactics to quickly conquer:

Denmark and Norway (1940)

Belgium, the Netherlands, and France (France fell in June 1940)

Britain stood alone, facing German bombing during the Battle of Britain (1940), but never surrendered.

Meanwhile:
Italy joined the war on Germany’s side.

Japan continued expanding in Asia and aligned with Germany and Italy to form the Axis Powers.

4. Widening the War (1941)

June 22, 1941: Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, invading the Soviet Union, breaking the Nazi-Soviet Pact.

The war became global on December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

The next day, the United States entered the war against Japan—and shortly after, against Germany and Italy.

5. Turning Points (1942–1943)

The Axis seemed unstoppable until key defeats:

Battle of Midway (June 1942): U.S. naval victory turned the tide in the Pacific.

Battle of Stalingrad (1942–43): Soviets defeated a massive German army.

North Africa: Allied forces defeated Axis armies in 1943, then invaded Italy, which surrendered in September 1943.

6. The Allied Advance (1944–1945)

June 6, 1944 (D-Day): Allied forces landed in Normandy, France, and began liberating Western Europe.

The Soviet Union pushed westward, liberating Eastern Europe and entering Germany.

April 30, 1945: Hitler committed suicide in Berlin.

May 7–8, 1945: Germany surrendered (V-E Day: Victory in Europe).

In the Pacific:

The U.S. used island-hopping to get closer to Japan.

August 6 and 9, 1945: The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

August 15, 1945: Japan surrendered (V-J Day: Victory over Japan).

7. Consequences of the War

Deadly toll: Tens of millions died, including 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.

Europe in ruins: Cities destroyed, economies collapsed.

The United Nations was created in 1945 to prevent future wars.

The Cold War began, dividing the world between the U.S. and Soviet Union.

Germany was divided into East and West, and Japan was occupied by the
U.S.

A lot of it, I started reading encyclopedias when I was a kid, there was no internet back then, they were just huge printed books, after I bought a computer, I got Encarta and Britannica - these were digital encyclopedias on CDs/DVDs, then from the mid 2000s I started reading Wikipedia and still haven't finished it...
