About World War II: The Price Of Empire

This is the story of two wars fought at the same time on opposite ends of the globe, often mislabeled as a single war: The Second World War.

These conflicts remade our world in just a few decades.

A story of how the rise and fall of great powers, from Nazi Germany to Imperial Japan, recast nations into those who could afford, and those that could not afford The Price of Empire.
