World War II
First World War started in 1914 and ended in 1918.
The changes in the politics, and economy, introduction of modern and destructive war furniture and capsizing countries that took place in Europe after the World War I ( during the period between 1918-1939) lead to the World War II.
Since Germany invaded Poland in1939, World War II started and ended in 1945 when America bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a result Japan surrendered.
Note: The details of bombing
The Mk I bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy," was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare. It was delivered by the B-29 Enola Gay (on display at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum), it detonated at an altitude of 1,800 feet over Hiroshima, Japan, on Aug. 6, 1945. The result of the Manhattan Project, begun in June 1942, "Little Boy" was a gun-type weapon, which detonated by firing one mass of uranium down a cylinder into another mass to create a self-sustaining nuclear reaction. Weighing about 9,000 pounds, it produced an explosive force equal to 20,000 tons of TNT.
When constructed in 1945, the "Little Boy" on display was an operational weapon, but it has been completely demilitarized for display purposes. In 2004 the Department of Energy repaired and repainted the artifact at its Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M.
“Fat Boy" – the Atomic Bomb which was put on Aug 9 1945 in Nagasaki.
