World War II, also called Second World War, conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939-45. The principal belligerents were the Axis powers-Germany, Italy, and Japan-and the Allies-France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a lesser extent, China. The war was in many respects a continuation, after an uneasy 20-year hiatus, of the disputes left unsettled by World War I. The 40,000,000-50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in history.
