After World War II, the Allied powers occupied and attempted to rebuild Germany and Japan. Germany was divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union, with the West focused on treating Germans harshly to prevent a return to militarism. The Nuremberg trials prosecuted Nazi leaders. In Japan, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and demilitarize under a new democratic constitution, while also prosecuting Japanese war criminals. The United Nations was established with the major Allied powers as permanent Security Council members.

Wwii 12 immediate aftermath
After WWII, the USSR established communist puppet governments across Eastern Europe. The UN was formed to replace the League of Nations, with membership open to Allied countries. Millions of refugees were displaced across Europe and Asia, including over 12 million Germans expelled from countries back into Germany, and over 1 million Jews displaced into camps until most could emigrate to Israel in 1947. War crimes trials were held in Germany and Japan, executing Nazi and Japanese officials.
Aftermath Of Wwii
After World War II, tensions emerged between Western allies and the Soviet Union, known as the Cold War. At conferences during the war, the "Big 3" powers of the US, Britain, and Soviet Union discussed plans for postwar Europe. However, disagreements soon arose over whether Eastern European nations should be allowed free elections or become pro-Soviet. The Soviets established communist governments in these nations against the allies' wishes, dividing Europe into capitalist and communist spheres of influence. Massive economic mobilization during the war had widespread impacts on civilian life globally.
World War 2
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved most nations of the world forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war began with Germany's invasion of Poland and ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 70 million people were killed during the war, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. Key turning points included Germany's defeat on the Eastern Front by the Soviet Union and the Allied invasion of Normandy leading to the collapse of the Axis powers.

The war cost an estimated $4 trillion and over 60 million lives worldwide, making it the deadliest conflict in history. It had widespread economic and political impacts, reshaping the post-war world order.
Elaboration on world war 2
World War 2 was caused by four main factors: (1) the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles imposed on Germany after WWI, (2) Hitler's secret rearmament of Germany in the 1930s, (3) the failure of the appeasement policy towards German aggression, and (4) the inability of the League of Nations to prevent war. Major events of WWII included the German invasion of Poland starting the war in Europe, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Holocaust genocide, Japanese imperialism leading to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Normandy landings in Europe, and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ending the war.

Germany in wwii
Germany suffered greatly from the terms of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI. This contributed to economic struggles and nationalist sentiment that Hitler was able to exploit in his rise to power. After becoming Chancellor, Hitler rapidly expanded German territory and built alliances. However, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, which led to its overextension.

Beginning of world war ii
The immediate causes of World War II were Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany in 1933 and his subsequent violations of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 without a declaration of war, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Germany used the innovative "blitzkrieg" tactic of lightning-fast combined arms attacks to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and force France to surrender in 1940. The British rescued 338,000 Allied troops from encirclement at Dunkirk in May-June 1940 in what was considered a "miracle." On June 22, 1940, France signed an armistice with Germany dividing the country into German-occupied and Vich

Churchill said many times that WW2 was an ‘unnecessary war’. He was thinking only of the Europe and not the WW2 in the Pacific. Hegemony, imperialism and nationalism had a lot of to do with it, but historian can never be satisfied with these labels. Unlike the sociologists, military strategists, the economists and psychologists, historians cannot be satisfied with generalisations. These are not specific enough for the historians. Historians like to dig into their subject in details and look into the specifics, motives and the events. Because their explanation is in such detail level, inevitably there are many shades of opinions and different views. Then they debate amongst themselves and hopeful come to some kind of conclusion as to what actually happened. But this is too complicated for politicains. They like simple explanation. Politicians pick and choose facts and events to build their case according to their political colours.
This is what is happening to the history of the Second World War. It is been revised, distorted and even denied. In authoritarian society, books are banned, views are censored and people are kept ignorance of the events. In a more open nations, this could lead to denial of holocausts and atrocities. Myths and invention can always manufactured to justify their ideology. As J H Plumb said in ‘The Death of the Past’, the role of the historian was to “dissolve those simple structural generalisations by which our forefathers interpreted the purpose of life in historical terms” and to challenge the use of the past as an instrument of political or social repression. In the words of British historian Eric Hobsbawn “We (historian) have a responsibility to historical facts in general, and for criticizing the politico-ideological abuse of history in particular.” No nation is greater or smaller because of their past, it is what they are doing today that matters.
