With a population of approximately ...read more. Their army wasn't big...because most of them were dead and they had to get their country back... in poland thiers a statue with running people representing that poland was very confident to get their land...sadly after WW2 every country agreed that the countries that destroyed some building in other countries had to pay the country they destroyed so they can rebuild it, germany didn't pay poland even though it was the most destroyed country in THE WORLD.
Poland Lost 20% of population.
Material Lost is about 350 bilions $.
The capitol was destroyed in 80%.
East part of Poland was taken out and given east part of germany instead which was mostly destroyed by Red army pushing towards Berlin. Poland never get reparations. For next 45 years was slave of soviet union.
Millions of people died during the bombing or in the concentration camps. Nazis have killed teachers, artists and doctors. Warsaw was destroyed in 90% and rest of the cities in about 60-75%
Poland lost millions of people by Hitlers tactics. Japan was bombed for good reason: For pearl Harbor.
Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest. ...read more. Harry S Truman did the right thing which was to avenge the victims of Pearl Harbor as well as the other Asian countries. Let's not forget to mention the comfort women who were the most victimized people within the War in the Pacific. The Two Atomic bombs were justifiable on why Japan's military power needed to end.
After the war Japan was nowhere near like how they were before. Everything changed in Japan. Literally Everything and are still the only country to ever get hit by a nuclear bomb in war.
The nukes are overrated. Already cities like Tokyo were being bombed and destroyed with normal bombs. It also highly discredits the Americans who fought in the pacific
The bomb was the most humane thing, the other 2 options were starvation of invasion killing 2 million Japanese for invading.
Germany was formally united in 1871 under the initiative of Bismarck with King Wilhelm of Prussia as emperor. The previous 'Holy Roman Empire', basically a continuation of the empire of Charlemagne/Karl der Grosse was dissolved in 1806. ...read more. They could never replace millions of dead young men. They will continue to stuff themselves with as many immigrants especially males as possible to replace their population. Those that think the German economy is strong right now do not understand the economic power Germany welded under the the 2nd and 3rd reich.
Failures to replace population and an economy that will always be dependent on exports, wielding almost 0 military power, and at the mercy of the major powers just as the rest of the world Germany is a shell of the empire it was.
Their armies defeated, nation divide, conquered, nation left in ruble, and people quite frankly internationally humiliated at the subject of it's eternal enemies what was once the most powerful nation in Europe was now Allied Occupied for as long as they saw fit.
Look at how heavily they were bombed, how many of there best men were killed in the Soviet Union among other places where they suffered horrible defeated.
There largest armies ...more
Industrial facilities were to be destroyed, mines were to be wrecked and filled, experts in production and manufacturing would be forcibly removed from the region. Also the US wanted to completely get rid of Germany after WW2
Germany should be number one! The country was divided by the communist east and the capitalist West for over 40 years and then it reunified.
After a while, Germany was restored from East and West Germany to a whole country again, and it's like nothing ever happened.
There are villages that are completely desolate, populated only by old women. The millions of dead affect not just Russia, but Belarus, Ukraine. etc.
More Russians (military and civilians) lost their lives during the Siege of Leningrad than did American and British soldiers combined in all of WWII.
"They didn't get nuked 2 tined",
Again the "Nuky" "Nuky" thing. They pushed Germany from Europe. Any country who did these kinds of thing at that time will simply suffer the aftermath of WWII.
They lost the most civilians and solders in World War II.

Absolutely valiant; the British people, as well as their military, heroically
acquitted themselves in every way.
Peace, BG (for now, at least).
"The Blitz".A lot of people including innocent civilians had to die for nothing.
Their empire fell after the war plus they had so much debt that they had trouble rebuilding
How could Winston Churchill live until 1965 and survive the blitz

There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the ...read more. You mean except for all those white crosses and body bags? As to any real economic benefit, America didn't finish paying off its war debt (its "borrowing" from the Fed and paying off on war bonds) until the early 1980s. By the way, thanks to FDR's socialist policies, the depression in America lasted 8 years longer than the rest of the industrialized world.
The US was affected by WWII in a good way, surprisingly. The war picked the country out of the Great Depression in the '40s. It created more jobs and more production of supplies, also.
We flat out almost went bankrupt fighting the Japanese.
We gave Japan a present.

It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi.

Though it probably wouldn't be first, many of the bloody battles were fought in the Philippines, notably the battle of Manila. Though not as many people were killed, most of the city was entirely leveled. Along with it years of Culture and many people's homes.
Many infrastructure were being built before the war, and nearly all was destroyed. Manila was a battlefield, thousands of soldiers and innocent people died resisting against the Japanese. Philippines was the last country to surrender in Southeast Asia.
Sadly I kinda agree

During WW2 France was the second country most bombed by the Allies after Germany. It took seven times the tonnage of Allied bombs that the UK took from Nazi Germany. Roughly 75,000 tonnes of bombs were dropped on the UK (including Hitler's V missiles). In France, it's in the order of 518,000 tonnes. It's also a sad statistic that more French civilians were killed by allied bombing( 76000) than British civilians killed by German bombing (50000).
Yes, they didn't get "NUKED" two times but massive amount of bombing and uses of firearm will easily tear apart their cities.

It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, and mountain ranges in the south-east. Australia's contribution to WWII was very significant! A country with a small population provides so many to fight in europe, Africa and the Pacific campaign! If it wasn't for the large assistance from the USA Australia was left very vulnerable to invasion from Japan. It also has to be remembered that the Australian army inflicted the Japanese first land defeat during their push across Asia!
How are other countries like Colombia and Sri Lanka before Australia? They sent Hundreds of thousands of troops to perish in the African and European fronts. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Korea was a single country before WWII. But after WWII it became a part of Soviet Union and US. Which led to conflict between two parts.
