The start of the war is generally held to be in September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland and subsequent declarations of war on Nazi Germany by the British Commonwealth and France. Many belligerents entered the war before or after this date, during a period which spanned from 1937 to 1941, as a result of other events. Amongst these main events are the Marco Polo Bridge Incident (fought between Nationalist China and Japan), the start of Operation Barbarossa (the Nazi invasion of Russia), and the attacks on [[Pearl Harbor]] and British and Dutch colonies in South East Asia.

The Soviet Union and the United States emerged from the war as the world's 'superpowers'. This set the stage for the [[Cold War]], which lasted for the next 45 years.
