“In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.”
-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
World War II lasted six years and one day from September 1, 1939 to September 2 , 1945. The war was deadly for soldiers, Jewish people, and nations’ civilians. The war was fought on mainland, on islands, in the sea, and in the air. Civilians often died at the hands of not-so-precise precision bombing, a tactic in which airmen would drop bombs from fighter planes onto their targets. The war took the lives of approximately 50 million civilians. In the end, the Allied powers won the war and the Holocaust ended, but millions lives were brutally taken. War still continues to take civilian lives today.
