The idea
What is World War II and its aftermath?
World War II and its aftermath cover the global conflict of 1939 to 1945 between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) and the Allies, and the settlement that followed. Hitler's invasion of Poland began the war in Europe; the attack on Pearl Harbor brought in the United States; the Holocaust murdered six million Jews; and the war ended with Germany's surrender in May 1945 and Japan's after the atomic bombings. The aftermath brought the United Nations, a divided Germany, decolonisation and the Cold War.

Where learners get stuck
Why World War II and its aftermath is hard
Learners struggle to keep the European and Pacific theatres on one timeline, confuse the causes (Versailles, appeasement, the Depression) with the triggers, and do not see how the 1945 settlement led straight into the Cold War.
The picture a good explanation starts with: A world map with Axis and Allied territory coloured, with a timeline underneath from September 1939 to August 1945 marking Poland, Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad, D-Day and Hiroshima.
