In the six whole years of World War II, 60 million people died. Imagine almost all of the United Kingdom's population dying. At first, I didn’t think about how so many people died. But when I started thinking about it, I had so many questions like: How did so many people turn against each other? What countries were involved? How did the world change because of the war?

The first few days were more about the Nazis and Jews but that was ok when I changed my question because they were most likely the biggest reason the war started.
