In 1939, the world was on the brink of a major upheaval. The year is most notable for the start of World War II on September 1, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. This marked the beginning of the largest and deadliest conflict in human history. In addition to the war's outbreak, 1939 saw significant political shifts, with the Soviet Union also invading Poland from the east, and numerous countries preparing for global conflict. Meanwhile, in the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was navigating the challenges of the Great Depression, which still affected much of the world economically.
