What countries were conquered during world war two?

Wow. That list could be pretty long. Germany conquered most of Europe with a little help from Italy and France. Japan conquered a piece of China,  most of the Pacific coastal countries on the Asian continent and most of the island nations in the Pacific. And then the Allies conquered Germany, Italy, and Japan.\n\nYeah, that list could get pretty long.

World War II, also, The Second World War, or WWII, was the global military conflict that took place between 1939 and 1945. World War II was the largest and deadliest war in history.\n\nThe war began between Germany and the Allies. Germany was later joined by Italy, Japan, and others, jointly known as the Axis. The Allies at first were made up of Poland, the United Kingdom, France, and others. In June 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and in December, Japan attacked the United States. China, which had been at war with Japan since the mid-1930s, also joined the Allies, as eventually did a number of other countries.\n\nItaly surrendered to and then joined the Allies in late 1943. Germany surrendered to the Allies in May of 1945. The war ended on 2 September 1945 with the formal surrender of Japan.\n\nApproximately 62 million people died in the war. Most were civilians, as a result of the large-scale aerial bombing of cities, disease, starvation, and genocide (see the Holocaust). It is guessed that the Soviet Union suffered around 23 million deaths, and that China suffered about 10 million. Poland suffered the most deaths in proportion to its population of any country, losing 5.6 million out of a pre-war population of 34.8 million.\n\nThe war was responsible for the re-drawing of national boundaries and the creation of new nations, the end of western colonialism, and the beginning of the Cold War. [1]\n\nAfter World War II, Europe was informally partitioned into Western and Soviet spheres of influence. Western Europe largely aligned as NATO, and Eastern Europe largely as the Warsaw pact. There was a fundamental shift in power from Western Europe and the British Empire to the new superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, with significant boundary changes and displacement of people as the Soviet Union's borders shifted westwards.\n\nIn Asia, the United States' military occupation of Japan led to Japan's democratization. China's civil war continued through and after the war, resulting eventually in the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The former colonies of the European powers, such as India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, began their road to independence.\n\nFinally, the war saw a number of newly developed weapons that were used against either military and civilian targets. Atomic weapons, long range missiles, jet aircraft, and radar, are only a few of many wartime inventions that changed the nature of future conflict.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WW_2

Basically World World II was like a continuation of World World I. Essentially this is what happened. World War I starts (aka - The Great War pre WWII) and afterwards its like everyone took a break. I'm not joking either. It was like a pause for 20 years. In the early 1930's, Japan invaded China. China actually had the most amount of casualties, not Russia or Eastern Europe. \n\nMost countries blamed Germany and so Germany had many sanction and restrictions put on the country. Hitler played off of these emotions and blamed the Jewish population for all of Germany's problems. At this time, Hitler was also quickly moving up in the ranks and finally became Dictator. \n\nHitler then started annexing countries in the mid to left 1930's and every country began to appease him. After he took over Poland and much of France, it was too late. The non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia made Hitler essentially invulnerable because from Eastern Europe was essentially all his to take over minus Russia. (Hitler would later reneg on the non-agreesion pact)\n\nThe United States needed an excuse to get into WWII and they finally got one on June 6, 1941 - Pearl Harbor. \n\nAbout 6 million jews were killed and 6 million gypsies, homosexuals, etc were killed. \n\nIn China, about 20-25 million were killed.

It was again subject to German occupation in the Second World War, and was formally annexed into the Third Reich in 1942.\n\nDuring World War II, Luxembourg abandoned its policy of neutrality, when it joined the Allies in fighting Germany. Its government, exiled to London set up a small group of volunteers, who participated in the Normandy invasion. It became a founding member of the United Nations in 1946, and of NATO in 1949. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the European Economic Community (later the European Union), and, in 1999, it joined the euro currency area. In 2005, a referendum on the EU treaty establishing a constitution for Europe was held in Luxembourg\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_occupation_of_Luxembourg_in_World_War_I\nhttp://www.luxembourg.co.uk/nutshell.html\nhttp://www.worldstatesmen.org/Luxembourg.htm\nhttp://hgs.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/7/1/51.pdf

Arguably, by the Brits and France not standing up to Hitler when he made territorial demands on Czechoslovakia.  The "official" start in Europe was when Germany crossed the border into Poland (followed quickly by the Soviet Union attacking from the east.)\n\nSome historians say the start of WWII was when Japan invaded China in 1935.
