By a well established convention the dates are generally given as 1 September 1939 to 2 September 1945.

The Second World War has start and end points that differ slightly, depending on national perspectives and on what part of the world is being described. In Europe, the war began with Hitler's attack on Poland, September 1st, 1939. Britain and France had defense treaties with Poland regarding a possible German attack, and declared war on Germany two days later.

The US was drawn into the war late in 1941 after Pearl Harbor. The Soviet Union had participated in the invasion of Poland as an ally of Nazi Germany. After its Nazi ally turned against it and invaded in June of 1941 the Soviet Union became allied with the British against Germany. The French had been defeated by Germany in 1940, and were neutral until liberated in 1944. The Second World War in Europe and North Africa ended with Germany's surrender in May, 1945.

In much of Asia, the war began when Japan attacked China in 1937, but it was not until 1941 that the US and Britain entered the war against Japan, after the Japanese attacked the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and began the invasion of the Philippines, a US colony at the time, and British and Dutch colonies in Asia. Some Asian colonies of the defeated and German controlled French had already been occupied by Japan, which had become an ally of Germany and Italy. The three nations were referred to as the Axis.

The Soviet Union, which extended far into Asia, focused all its war effort on fighting Germany, and did not enter the war against Japan until August, 1945, only weeks before the Japanese capitulation. The Second World War in the Pacific and mainland Asia ended with Japan's acceptance of surrender terms in August, 1945, shortly after the US dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, one on the city of Hiroshima and, a few days later, another on Nagasaki.

In the Pacific, the US carried the brunt of the war. In Europe, the Soviet Union fought Germany almost alone, and eventually carried the war into Germany at great cost to itself. The US and Britain contributed to the war effort in Europe by bombing Germany, invading North Africa and Italy, and finally invading France in June of 1944, less than a year before Germany collapsed. The Soviet Union was Germany's principal enemy, accounting for nearly 90% of all German battle deaths during WW2.

The dates most often seen in history texts about WWII give the dates as 1939 to 1945, disregarding the fact that China and Japan had been at war since 1937. The starting date of WW2 is in some ways a matter of perspective and regional bias. China regards 1937 as the start of the war, when Japan launched a full scale invasion. The war became truly global as the major powers gradually drew their supporters into the conflict.

Most of the military aspects of WW2 ended in Europe on May 8th 1945 when German forces surrendered. In Asia and the Pacific most of the fighting ended after August 15th 1945 when Japan accepted surrender terms, formally signed on September 2nd, 1945, when the American occupation began.
WW1 started:- 28th June 1914

finished:- 11th November 1918

WW2 started:- 1st September 1939

finished:- 2nd September 1945
ww2 started in the year 1939 and finished in the year 1945. Britain declared war on SEPT 3RD 1939.
World war 2 is still currently going on because moshi monsters are laying eggs everywhere, which contain stink bombs and exploading every-ones fake tan bottles, which is a political crisis.

The accepted official dates are from 1 September 1939 until 15 August 1945 although there was fighting going on in various countries from 1936 onwards.
World War 2 officially began September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. In 1938, Germany had annexed Austria and occupied ethnically-divided Czechoslovakia. Italy had been fighting in Ethiopia since 1936, and Japan in China since 1937.

It officially ended September 2nd, 1945 when German forces finally surrendered to the allies.

ANSWER:

September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and war officially began. September 2, 1945, Japan surrendered to Allied powers, and war officially ended. There may be arguments that World War 2 actually began earlier or ended later, but these are the correct dates.

September 7, 1939 it started. Around May 7, 1945 ended.
the begging of the diaster was sept 1 1939 the end of that was may 7 1945

World War 2 began September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland; and ended September 2, 1945 with the surrender of Japan.
World War II started for the United States on December 9, 1941, when they declared war on the Empire of Japan, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The United States later declared war on Germany. The war ended for the United States in 1945.
September 1st 1939 to August 12, 1945 Germany and Japan started and ended World War 2 after the Allied Nation Defeated them.
