When World War I ended in 1918, it was called, "the war to end all wars." But it wasn't. Unsettled issues and resentments festered for the next 20 years, culminating in the outbreak of war in Europe and Asia in the 1930's. Different countries were determined to rule the world, but only one can succeed.

During World War II, many people felt powerless. They didn't have the numbers or weapons to fight back directly. So they used sabotage to fight back against the Nazis. Resistance fighters throughout Europe sabotaged equipment and supply lines, gave false information to the enemy, gathered and shared intelligence with the Allied military forces, and hid and rescued threatened Jews.
