Map of World War II in Europe




 http://www.kenbrown.info/stokes/world_war_ii_map.html

This map comes from the USAF Museum, and depicts the opposing sides during World War II. The red areas are where the Axis powers expanded to, and the green are areas controlled by the Allies. World War II encompassed an era of conflict and strife never seen by the world before, and not since, and as a history major, I'm quite interested in the political, social, and cultural aspects that took place during the war.
