The Second World War is considered today as the largest military conflict in history, not only because of the number of countries involved but also because of the number of casualties of both military (15M) and civilians (45M). He presented forms of suffering greater than those usual in any war:

Like the concentration camps that later gave rise to the Holocaust. Where about 6 million Jews along with other ethnic groups were killed. Mass massacres of entire populations and enemy prisoners. Scientific experiments on enemy prisoners from Nazi Germany and the Japanese. Massive bombing of communities of larger populations such as London, Warsaw, Berlin, Tokyo, among others. The first and only time the atomic bomb has been used in a war: two bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In order to avoid conflicts of such magnitude by fostering international cooperation, the UN was created.

Germany and Austria were divided by different areas of influence. Austria had its independence in 1955.

Albania regained its territory occupied by Italy.

Denmark regains its territory but loses control of Iceland. The governments of Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro join and form the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. The Soviet Union annexed Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, eastern Poland, East Prussia (German territory), some territories of Czechoslovakia, Finland and Hungary. France recovers its territory and its colonies in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Indochina. But it loses the colonies of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Vietnam and in Italian Libya. Greece regains its territory. Italy regains its territory but loses its occupation in Albania, its African colonies, on the Croatian coast and in several Greek islands. Luxembourg recovers its territory. Norway regains its territory. The Netherlands regains its territory along with its Dutch Antilles and French Guiana colonies, but loses the Dutch East Indies.
