About This Quiz
World War II was one of the most tragic and devastating periods in history. The war began when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. Two days later, France and Great Britain joined and sided with Poland. Later on, more and more countries would join, each choosing a side that would create the Axis and the Allies.Â
On the Allies side, we had Great Britain, France (except for when they were occupied by Germany), China and the USA, and the Axis was made up of Germany, Italy and Japan. Regardless of which side each country was on, they all made use of aviation to further the fight in a war that would last for more than five years.Â
