World War II Essay

I'm going to tell you about World War II. I'll tell you about the allies. The Axis which would be the bad guys. Also, how the war ended.

The allies were the main countries that were in the war against Germany, Italy, and Japan. The U. S. entered the war in 1941. December 7 was when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The allies were England, U. S., France, and Russia.

The Axix were the countries who tried to take over the world. They were Germany, Italy, and Japan. Their leaders were Hideki Tojo, Japan, Adolf Hitler, Germany, and Benito Mussolini, Italy. Japan were the ones that bombed Pearl Harbor.

Pres. Roosevelt died spring, 1945. To take his place was Harry S. Truman. He decided to use an atomic bomb on Japan hoping they would surrender. But it took two. Killing about 118,000 people. Japn gave up. On the other side of the world Hitler commited suicide. After he died, the allies invaded. Germany and Italy were defeated.

That's about all I know about WWII. The allies, axis, and how it ended. I hope you learned something from all of this.
