World War II, a conflict of unprecedented scale and devastation, concluded with a series of decisive battles that reshaped the global landscape. From the Eastern Front's clashes at Stalingrad and Kursk, which crippled the German war machine, to the D-Day landings and subsequent Allied advance through Europe, the tide turned against the Axis powers. In the Pacific, the brutal island-hopping campaign and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan's unconditional surrender. These pivotal battles marked not only the end of the war but also the dawn of a new world order.
