| Wesley Dodds no longer suffers from nightmares. With his new calling as a mystery man, he now sleeps the "Sleep of the Just". Note: This was likely intended to coincide with the first time that Wes Dodds becomes the Sandman. However, Sandman Mystery Theatre #1 retroactively establishes that Dodds began adventuring as the Sandman as early as 1938, not 1939. | Sandman (Volume 2) #1 | 1.89 |

World War II, or abbreviated as WWII, was an international human conflict that occurred on Earth between 1939 and 1945.
Contents |
World War II was the second global military conflict in Human History. The war started when Adolf Hitler, Führer of Nazi Germany, invaded Poland. Britain and France were sworn to protect this country, and so war broke out. At this time, World War II wasn't a World War, it was just a war in Europe. But Hitler had invaded many of the bordering countries beforehand such as Austria, Czechoslovakia and Luxembourg.
Hitler and his 3rd Reich had efficiently recreated a new German "Reich" (Empire). Soon, the Soviet Union, which had sided with Hitler before the war, had tried to invade Finland. This war, quickly became another World War. Soon, other nations began helping the Nazi War effort, including the Empire of Japan, and Italy. But also, other countries started to join the Allied War effort as well, with the Soviet Union and the United States entering the war in 1941.
These countries may have been the entire reason the war was won by the Allies. But still, the Allies won by the skin of their teeth, for if it wasn't for the overwhelming amount of soldiers with them, Germany and Italy would control Europe, Africa and the Americas while Japan would control Asia and Oceania. With the help of the two atomic bombs being dropped on Japan, nicknamed "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", the world was launched into the Atomic/Nuclear Age. Over 72,000,000 people died on both sides in the six year conflict, many being civilians from the Soviet Union, the Republic of China and the Axis Powers.
As a result of the Allied victory (the United States of America, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and others) over the Axis Nations (Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan and others), the United Nations Charter was signed on June 26, 1945, marking the replacement of the defunct League of Nations and the creation of the United Nations. The United Nations were formed with a goal of international peacekeeping by means of collective security.
