World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.

World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nepo Baby
Nepo baby, short for nepotism baby, is a term referring to people whose parents have succeeded in similar or related careers. The implication is that, because their parents already had connections to one or more specific industries, the child was able to use those connections to build a career in those industries. It is usually used pejoratively to indicate a celebrity whose fame and success are perceived as unearned or undeserved. Origin The term "nepotism baby" was first popularized in the early 2010s, after decades of being used, and was first shortened to "nepo baby" in 2020. According to Nate Jones of ''Vulture'', "One of the earliest instances of nepotism baby being shortened to 'nepo baby' appears in a 2020 post from the blog ''Pop Culture Died in 2009'', which describes Olivia Jade as our era's answer to Bling Ring icon Alexis Haines." The shortened term became popular in 2022 on Twitter when a user tweeted about Maude Apatow, daughter of director Judd Apatow and actres ...
