World War 2, WW2 > 
World War 2 started nearly 64 years ago, when Germany invaded Poland without warning at 4.45am on the 1st September 1939. By the evening of the 3rd September, Britain and France were at war with Germany and within a week, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had also joined the conflict. The world had been plunged into a world war for the second time in 25 years. World War 2 lasted for 6 long and bloody years and was eventually to involve every major world power and cost the lives of some 60 million people.
