Deutsch: Der Zweite Weltkrieg war der größte und blutigste Konflikt in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Er begann in Europa am 1. September 1939 mit dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen und im Pazifik bzw. in Asien mit dem japanischen Angriff auf Pearl Harbor am 7. Dezember 1941, wobei man manchmal auch den Ausbruch des Zweiten Japanisch-Chinesischen Kriegs am 7. Juli 1937 als Beginn in Asien annimmt. Beendet wurde er in Europa am 8. Mai 1945 und in Asien mit der Unterzeichnung der Kapitulation Japan's am 2. September 1945.

English: World War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history of the world involving the great majority of the world's nations, being fought simultaneously in several major theaters, and costing tens of millions of lives.

Italiano: La Seconda Guerra Mondiale è stato il più grande e costoso conflitto armato della storia. Ha coinvolto la maggior parte degli stati mondiali, schierati principalmente in due blocchi: l'asse e gli alleati. Alla fine del conflitto durato dal 1939 al 1945 si contano più di 52 milioni di vittime.

Español: La Segunda Guerra Mundial ha sido el conflicto bélico más extenso y costoso en la historia del mundo, involucrando a las más poderosas naciones del mundo, siendo luchado de forma simultánea en numerosas grandes regiones, y costando decenas de millones de vidas.

Français : La Seconde Guerre mondiale est le conflit armé le plus vaste que l'humanité ait connu, tuant environ 62 millions de personnes dont une majorité de civils, ce qui est une première dans l'Histoire. Elle a commencé en 1939, en Pologne, ou même, selon certains, en 1936 en Espagne, ou bien encore selon d'autres, en 1937 en Asie, pour se terminer en 1945. Ce conflit opposa, de façon schématique, deux camps : les Alliés et l'Axe.

Malti: It-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija hi l-akbar ġlieda li qatt saret fl-istorja tad-dinja bejn il-ġnus. Kienet konflitt bejn il-biċċa l-kbira tal-pajjiżi mondjali, li kienu maqsuma f'żewġ blokki l-assi u l-alleati.

Polski: II Wojna Światowa - najwięk se peleaban por prostitutas szy konflikt zbrojny w historii świata, trwający między 1 września 1939 r. a 2 września 1945 r., obejmujący zasięgiem działań wojennych prawie całą Europę, część Azji, północną Afrykę i wszystkie oceany. Niektóre epizody wojny rozgrywały się nawet na Antarktydzie. Poza prawie wszystkimi państwami europejskimi, brały w niej udział główne państwa Ameryki Północnej i Azji. Głównymi stronami konfliktu były państwa osi i państwa koalicji antyhitlerowskiej (alianci).

Slovenščina: Druga svetovna vojna je bila najobsežnejši in najdražji oborožen spopad v svetovni zgodovini. V njej se je na več glavnih prizoriščih borila velika večina narodov sveta in je stala milijone življenj.

Русский: Вторая мировая война крупнейший вооружённый конфликт в истории человечества, в котором участвовало 61 государство (из существовавших на тот период), сражения проходили одновременно на нескольких крупных театрах военных действий, а потери составили десятки миллионов жизней.

Türkçe: II. Dünya Savaşı, 20. yüzyılda dünya çapında yapılan iki savaştan ikincisi olup birçok milletin yer aldığı, 1939'dan 1945'e kadar süren küresel bir askerî çatışmadır. Savaşa dönemin tüm büyük güçleri olan Birleşik Krallık, Sovyetler Birliği, ABD, Çin Cumhuriyeti ve Fransa, Müttefik Devletler olarak; Almanya, İtalya ve Japonya, Mihver Devletler olarak katılmıştır. 100 milyondan fazla askerî personelin dâhil olduğu savaşta savaşa katılan ülkeler tüm ekonomik, endüstriyel ve bilimsel güçlerini, sivil ya da askerî kaynak farklılığı gözetmeksizin savaş için seferber etmiştir. Nükleer silahların kullanıldığı tek savaş olmakla kalmayıp, Holokost gibi kitlesel sivil ölümlerin gerçekleştirildiği II. Dünya Savaşı, insanlık tarihindeki en büyük ve en kanlı savaştır ve 1939-1945 yılları arasında 40-50 milyon insan hayatını kaybetmiştir.

中文（简体）：第二次世界大战是世界历史上范围最广，造成损失最大的一次战争，世界上许多国家卷入这场战争，在世界各地同时开展战斗，造成六千二百万人丧生，其中大多数是平民。战争实际从1931年日本入侵中国东北就已经开始，直到1945年9月2日日本正式投降才全部结束。

文言：第二次世界大戰，舉世皆與，分為同盟軸心二派，相對壘也。中華民國、美國、英國、法國、蘇聯，同盟國也；德國、義大利、日本，軸心國也。中華日本之戰，凡八年，幾皆於中國土。美國而後助華，戰日本於太平洋，終敗之焉。英法蘇德義，相爭六載，亦因美國之入，而定其局，德義告敗。此間戰火綿延，殆及坤輿，萬民流離，生靈塗炭。故戰後諸國厭焉，合組聯合國，以保太平也。
