 | World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a mid-20th-century conflict that engulfed much of the globe and is generally considered the largest and deadliest continuous war in human history. |
 | Many consider World War II to be the only true world war due to the overwhelming number of nations involved and the extraordinary number of theatres—from Europe and the Soviet Union to North Africa, China, South East Asia and the Pacific. |
 | Post–World War II Europe was partitioned into Western and Soviet spheres of influence, the former undergoing economic reconstruction under the Marshall Plan and the latter becoming satellite states of the Soviet Union. |
