The initiators of World War II were Germany, Japan, Italy.

World War II, also known as World War II, was the largest and most influential global war in human history. This war, which began on September 18, 1931 and ended on September 2, 1945, was a war of aggression led by the fascist Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan, and a brutal struggle against the anti-fascist forces all over the world. In this war, countless heroic people have sacrificed immensely for the sake of freedom, peace and justice.

The origins of World War II can be traced back to the Great World Economic Crisis of 1929, which exacerbated tensions in Germany. In 1931, Japan created the 918 Incident, which opened the prelude to World War II. Subsequently, Germany, under Hitler's leadership, began to expand its territory frantically, trying to build a huge empire by conquering Europe and Asia.

On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, which became a symbol of the outbreak of World War II in Asia. The German army launched an attack on Poland on September 1, 1939, and then Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the world war broke out. At this time, the people of the world are forced to unite in the face of this unprecedented catastrophe.

In the early days of the war, the anti-fascist countries strengthened their unity through the Declaration of the United Nations, among other things. As the war progressed, countries gradually realized that only by uniting could they defeat fascism. In 1942, the anti-fascist countries formed a strategic alliance to jointly resist the fascist aggression.

The Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in World War II. In 1943, the Soviet Red Army won the Battle of Stalingrad, which effectively hit the morale and vitality of the German army. After this battle, Germany began to decline, and the anti-fascist alliance gradually seized the initiative in the war.

As the war deepened, various countries paid great sacrifices. However, it was these heroic people who contributed to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist League. In this war, the peoples of many countries united as one to resist the fascist aggression. For example, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression made a tremendous contribution to the World Anti-Fascist War.

Finally, on May 8 and August 15, 1945, Germany and Japan announced their surrender. This brutal war has finally come to an end. According to statistics, more than 60 countries and regions around the world and more than 2 billion people were involved in the war in World War II. It was this war that brought the people of the world closer together to resist the fascist aggression.

World War II profoundly changed human history. Its impact is broad-based on political, economic, military, diplomatic, cultural and technological aspects. It has objectively promoted the development of science and technology, and led to the development and progress of aviation technology, atomic energy, heavy artillery, and other fields. At the same time, this war has also made us profoundly aware of the importance of peace and development. Only through the joint efforts and solidarity of the international community can we avoid the outbreak of war and achieve world peace and prosperity.

Today, we look back on this history to remember those heroic people and the great sacrifices they made for their country and for humanity. Let us bear in mind the historical lessons of World War II, cherish peace, friendship and common development. May the world always be peaceful and tranquil!
