La Seconde Guerre mondiale est un conflit armé à l'échelle planétaire qui dura de septembre 1939 à août 1945. Elle consista en la convergence, à partir du 3 septembre 1939, d'un ensemble de conflits régionaux respectivement amorcés le 18 juillet 1936 en Espagne (la Guerre civile espagnole), le 7 juillet 1937 en Asie (la Guerre sino-japonaise), et le 1er septembre 1939 en Pologne (Campagne de Pologne), générant ainsi un conflit planétaire qui opposa schématiquement deux camps - les Alliés et l'Axe - et s'acheva le 2 septembre 1945. La Seconde Guerre mondiale constitue le conflit armé le plus vaste que l'humanité ait connu, tuant environ 62 millions de personnes dont une majorité de civils, ce qui est une première dans l'Histoire. 1, record 1, French, - Seconde%20Guerre%20mondiale
