An introduction cannot be a history lesson, but if you need the basics, World War II was easily the largest conflict of the 20th century, and also the deadliest in history. It took place across only six years, spanning 1939 to 1945 and involving much of the world, to a greater extent than World War I (which was also shorter and, before World War II, was referred to as the Great War).
