FLN Setting: Second World War

The Second World War was one of the greatest and crudest violent conflict in world's History. Preceeded by the unfair treaties at the end of the First World War (like the Treaty of Versailles), it faced the Allies (British Empire and Italy, plus USA and the Soviet Union since 1941) with the Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan and Hungary) between 1939 and 1945.

The main cause of the war was the Nazi expansion and invasion of Poland, France, Belgium, Luzembourg and the Netherlands, between others. The British were forced to enter the war because they had a treaty with Poland, which obliged them to help Poland if it was attacked. Years later, the United States entered the war because Japan attacked them at Pearl Harbour. In the same way, different countries take a position in the war and it became Global.

Meanwhile, in the Nazi Germany, Poland, Hungary and other countries, the Nazi ideology was repressing jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and any race different to the Aryan. This persecution was led by the fascist Adolf Hitler, who wrote all his thoughts and ideology in a book called "Mein Kampf", published in 1925.

After 6 years of violence and suffering, Germany sourrended and the Presidents of the main countries in conflict sign the Potsdam Treaty. (11 July, 1945). Japan didn't take part of this treatment and they wanted to continue fighting, so the President of the United States decided to finish the war by dropping atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August, 1945).
