Publisher's Synopsis
Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II. Over the next six years, the conflict would take more lives and destroy more land and property around the globe than any previous war.
The major battles and events of the war are put in a larger context of world events and history so that you will have a solid and fundamental understanding of World War II, a conflict whose consequences we are still feeling today. More entertaining and more relevant than most history books, World War Two, How the World Changed Forever will change how you think of this transformative event. When you finish this short but information-filled book, you will understand why WWII began, how the roots of the conflict went back to the end of WWI and the Treaty that ended the so-called "War to End All Wars".
