World War Chess Sets
There have been two world wars. World War I lasted 1914- 1918 and was fought between the allies and the central powers. World War II was fought between the allies and axis from 1939 to 1945. It was started on September 1, 1939 with German forces invading Poland. The war involved more than 100 million soldiers and affected the lives of all the people during that era.
The war became symbolic duel of the two leaders, Franklin Roosevelt, the US President who was to become the symbol of the fight for freedom, and Adolf Hitler, the German dictator who would be the icon of racist supremacy and hegemony.

The game is represented by opposing Kings in the persons of Roosevelt and Hitler, and is supported by military officers and personnel, together with the battling tanks and the city capitals to complete the entire chess set. Another version includes Winston Churchill, the British Prime-Minister during the war, opposing Hitler.
