World War II,[3][4] also known as the Second World War, was a conflict on Earth.[1]
War
John Forge's family had members fight in World War II.[5] During the war, the British cracked a German encryption scheme.[6] Isoroku Yamamoto crippled the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.[7] Also during the war, France created the Maginot Line.[3] One of the bloodiest battles in the war was the Battle of Stalingrad.[1]
The war came to a close with the first usage of human Nuclear weapons at Nagasaki and Hirshima.[2] The bomb at Hiroshima left a domed structure still standing.[8]
Aftermath
Following the Second World War, war photography was commonplace.[9]
Some in the 26th-century confused World War II with other wars, like the Hundred Years War, and the Thirty Years War.[6] World War II is taught in Russian schools in the 26th-century.[4] The attack on Pearl Harbor was compared to the 26th-century Fall of Reach by Chief Petty Officer McRobb.[10] France's Maginot Line became idiomatically associated with a Forerunner defensive strategy through Forerunner translation software, after this strategy was discovered by humans.[3]
