A WORLD AT WAR
War rages around the globe. On one side are the Allied forces—the United States, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, China, and other countries that fight with them. On the other side are the Axis nations—Germany, Italy, Japan, and the countries that support them.
From the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean to the muddy trenches of central Europe, millions are fighting battles that will decide the future of the world. It's been called the War of the Nations and the Great Patriotic War but most commonly the Second World War or World War II.
An estimated 15 million soldiers from around the world died fighting in World War II. Another 25 million were wounded.
In Europe, German leader Adolf Hitler wants to conquer the continent. He and his Nazi Party are committing terrible acts in Germany, Poland, and other nations under their control.
In Asia, Japan is on its own mission of conquest. Japan’s attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii has opened a new chapter in history. Now the war is being fought on two fronts.
The battlefields are filled with new weapons and technology. Powerful machine guns can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. Heavy tanks roll over everything in their paths. In the sky fighter planes engage in high-speed dogfights. Destroyers, aircraft carriers, and other warships battle for control of the oceans.
Danger lurks everywhere. In the Soviet Union, soldiers try desperately to hold back the 1942 German invasion in the Battle of Stalingrad. In 1944 Allied troops in the deep woods of Belgium try to fight off a surprise attack in the Battle of the Bulge. And the final battle of the war in the Pacific, the Battle of Okinawa, is being fought between U.S. and Japanese forces in 1945.

THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD
Thick black smoke hangs over the ruined city of Stalingrad in the Soviet Union. The city was once a proud symbol named for the nation’s leader, Josef Stalin. But now it is little more
