- The War was fought in fronts, with the common ones known as "Western" and "Eastern" Fronts.

WWII:

- The war built up slowly, even starting as soon as Great Depression, which led to the creation of Fascist & Nazi Government.

- Because of either harsh conditions implemented, or not given what they wanted, Japan, Italy, and Germany allied together with other lesser powers to become what is now known as the Axis Power.

- The war was mostly mobile, with little-to-no battle fought with trenches.

- France was defeated, and was split into a group known as "Free French", which fought for French liberation, and "Vichy French", or the puppet government of France under German control.
