The war lasted 14 years, and more than 2 billion people were involved in the war. According to incomplete statistics, at least 90 million people died in this war.

Extended data:

After World War II, Germany and Japan adopted completely different attitudes on historical issues: Germany established a systematic mechanism to reflect on the war and conducted a thorough reflection on the war; After the Second World War, Japan tried its best to deny the aggressive nature of foreign wars since the war and distorted the historical facts that caused disastrous disasters to the invaded countries and their people.

World War II profoundly changed human history. Its influence covers a wide range of fields such as politics, economy, military affairs, diplomacy, culture and science and technology.

With the development of military science and technology as the intermediary, the wisdom of human beings and the energy of nature are perfectly combined and greatly released. The destructive power of war is unprecedentedly enhanced, the means of war are unprecedentedly increased, the styles of war are unprecedentedly rich, and the space for war is unprecedentedly broad. As a result, human war activities have entered a new historical stage from blindness to consciousness, from impetuousness to rationality, and from naivety to maturity.
