World War II is often called the “good war.” Because democratic nations, led by Great Britain and later the United States, battled nations led by brutal dictators , in Germany, Italy, and Japan. And Britain, the U.S., and their allies won. They overpowered the enemy with additional troops and increased manufacturing of ammunition and supplies, especially after the U.S. entered the war. But the price of freedom was high. And the road to victory was long and hard.
